    You missing the point. While it's true that GGG sold out MSG the fact is that he wasn't fighting Jacobs. If he fights Jacobs there, yeah, it will sell out but the majority will be tickets sold to people who support Jacobs. Now you can call him a paper champ but the contract and the rules are on paper too. It states that if the fight goes to purse bid, the champion gets 75% and the challenger gets 25%. They are co-champions on paper and the only reason I think that the split should be 60/40 is because GGG has most of the belts, if that was not the case then it should be 50/50.

    Given that Jacobs brought in a sensational 386k viewers on free tv against Quillin, Golovkin should think himself lucky to get such a mega-fight.

    Are you concussed? Jacobs isn't a draw. What if all the people who bought tickets to see Golovkin in record time do so again? Then Jacobs 1500 fans won't have a chance to by up a part of MSG. The fact is seat selling wise, Golovkin has proven himself a bigger draw in NYC.

    Jacob is a glorified contender posing as a champ and so he gets the mando rate. As for 50/50, you've totally lost the plot.

    I beg to differ, Jacobs is a draw in New York. You are comparing two totally different dynamics. Every time he fights in New York, the place is sold out and I will bet a dime to a dollar that if he fights GGG in New York, the majority will be Jacobs fans. GGG sold out in record time because the fight was promoted properly and the thought of seeing two heavy hitters go at it promises big fireworks. However Jacobs is the home boy and New Yorkers support their own. That shouldn't be hard to understand. Whatever you think about Jacobs is irrelevant because the fact is that he won that belt, GGG didn't give it to him and if GGG wants it, he has to take it. In the WBA, and fighting in New York, Jacobs demands the same respect that GGG does.

    Because K2 makes more money that way...

    Either that or they are worried GGG could lose. I mean this IS his biggest test and most skilled opponent to date if the fight gets made. If GGG loses then he can kiss the other big fights good bye because nobody will see a reason to fight him.

    Golovkin doesn't give a **** about that paper trinket Jacobs is in possession of. He wants another name on his record. Danny is the WBA's number one contender, no more - the may give that guy a belt these days but the fact they have mandated him the same split shows what he really is and that ain't no champ.

    I felt the same way about Povetkin and his 'title'. These guys are just contenders.

    This is not about what GGG thinks. Now, you can say that Jacobs is a contender, a paper champion or whatever, the fact remains that he is a champion. You can say that GGG is the better fighter but that remains to be seen. When you look at the rankings for the WBA, both Jacobs and GGG are listed as champions, then the contenders are listed. So if Jacobs is the WBA paper champion then so is GGG. Jacobs may not be known as wide nationally as GGG but in New York, he is the man in boxing and like I said, if the fight takes place there he deserves no less than a 60/40 split because his drawing power is on par with GGG.

    What does Jacobs bring to the table that GGG wants? And whose paper belt is recognized by the other sanctions? If WBA approves the 60/40, K2 should take it. Otherwise, It's a regular champion/mandatory situation and 75/25 is the split. Just like It was in the Wlad/Povetkin situation.

    What the Jacobs fight brings to the table is clearance. GGG can take all the other belts but unless he beats Jacobs his goal to be the unified undisputed middleweight will not be realized. 60/40 seems fair to me and that's only because GGG has most of the belts and stands to lose more if he loses the fight. However, this is by no means a regular champion/mandatory situation because they are both listed as champions of the WBA. It is a unique situation and I have seen no provisions in the rules to remedy a case like this. Jacobs is well within his rights to demand a larger cut than the 25%.

    Yeah, he will be recognized as the undisputed champion if/when he gets to Saunders, with or without beating the WBA "Regular" champ. Who's to say WBA won't invent another belt? It's like saying he can't become undisputed without beating WBF or WBU champ. The decision is up to WBA here. If they decide It's a regular champion/mandatory situation, Jacobs has to take it. And It's not a uınique situation. Like I said, Wlad (WBA super champ) and Povetkin (WBA regular champ) fought 3 years ago and Wlad got %75 as the champ, Sasha got %25 as the challenger.

    Btw, since you're convinced that Jacobs is a legitimate titlist, does that mean GGG has 17 title defences and only 5 fights away from breaking B-Hop's record?
