We were getting a lot of delaying and non-response, so at a certain point Dannys team locked in a fight rather than wait around indefinitely, Saunders title makes him a desired opponent at middleweight. Gennady Golovkin was in talks to face him. Jacobs was in talks to face him. Its possible that he ends up underneath a Canelo Alvarez card and faces Alvarez afterward. Perhaps Saunders was trying to wait for the right deal, or to play his suitors off each other for the best possible deal. Im not sure what the plan was, Espinoza said. I think there was ample opportunity for him to commit to a Jacobs fight, and Jacobs even wouldve been flexible with the date and the scheduling to accommodate him. We may have been a stalking horse [a term defined as a false pretext concealing someones real intentions] to get another fight, but ultimately he really hasnt committed to a fight, so Im not sure it worked out well for him either. from scene BJS, Jacobs and CEJ are a bunch of scared pus. who don't have the ***** to even fight each other. :barf
I think BJS is making the buisiness decision to angle for the Canelo fight instead. Assuming Oscar called and asked them to be on the Sept 17 undercard to possibly set up a fight with BJS next, it would make sense for the phone to go quiet towards Jacobs
So Jacobs wanted to fight BJS but he wants no part of Golovkin? BJS is possibly lined up to fight Canelo in December but wants no part of Jacobs or Golovkin. Canelo looking to fight a MW title holder, BJS, but dropped his WBC belt to not fight Golovkin. Hmmmm. Anyone notice a pattern here? They all claim "money" is the issue but Jacobs is lined up to fight Mora, Canelo lined up to fight Smith and Saunders some bum to make sure he keeps the belt. I guess the "he brings no money to the table" excuses are only seen by blind fans.
It's like a bad soap opera by now. I fought hard hitters and know first hand that fear is real but I did it for fun, these guys do it for a living!
