Is Danny Jacobs a real world champion who deserves better than 25/75 against GGG?

Fights don't get signed without a date.

 

The deal was between HBO and Ward. Nothing about their fight was set until may stop being an idiot.

GGG and Canelo will do the same. Just not with a flat fee offer from 12 months before.

 

They signed contracts in April of 2016. Agreeing to fight means nothing unless contracts are signed.

 

Ward signed the deal w/ HBO only with the condition that kovalev was on tap. Like I said, agreeing to fight means nothing unless contracts are signed. So, they did NOT sign a year in advance, as you stated. Not to mention, with Ward versus Kov, we have two guys who are more or less on equal position. Caneleo and 3G aren't, they have more dynamics to sort through, so it'll be more difficult to come to an agreement, WHEN actual contracts and negotiations are under way, and NOT in the form of some flat fee offer that most people saw as disingenuous.

 

It was disingenuous because, as stated, no one sends an offer letter to fught a whole year away. Too much can happen in the meantime.

In regards to Ward and Kov, they only signed to fight at the end of April. Hence the somewhat pointless, easy fights each took in the interim.

3g's promoter is known to be rather easy to work with. That's been confirmed by several managers and promoters. How the f*ck is 3G being difficult, when it's Jacobs' promoter and manager who is trying to get a rule changed for him. Don't be dense...

 

If Danny thinks he can beat Golovkin, he should fight him for whatever money he can get. Then he'd be the big kahuna and could get the money he wants.

Seems like few in the sport think this way anymore, however.

 

Yup.

 

It seems too many fighters enter negotiations with a loser mentality, always needing that extra money in the purse, due to the risk involved, and the possibility of losing. Shoot, that's a part of boxing.

 

I do feel Jacobs deserves more than what he got for the Quillen fight but other than that we've no idea how much he's asking for have we?
I suspect he's asking for at least 3.5 mill,he also maybe feels it's a fight worthy of pay per view and also as usual he's asking for danger money which is the one thing that really bugs me with all those would be GGG opponents,why is it the rules change for facing Golovkin,quite frankly I don't think they want to face him no matter the money as Chris Eubank jnr proved?
