    Really?

    Didn't Canelo just sell 51,000 tickets in Dallas, TX to watch him fight a nobody? I wasn't aware Bumlovkin could draw bigger crowds...

    It was a World championship bout...Canelo did not have it all his way either...if anything makes more of a case why he should avoid the one & only GGG!
    PS: what relevance is to anyone here what you are or are not aware of ? ...WHO ARE YOU?

    He has to beat Jacobs, there is no way around it. In order to be recognized as undisputed WBA champion he must beat Jacobs. Jacobs is legitimate and that's my focus, I could care less about GGG's title defenses. Just because Potvetkin accepted that bs doesn't mean Jacobs has to do the same. The rules don't read super champ gets 75% and regular champ gets 25%. It reads the champion gets 75% and the challenger gets 25%. When you look up WBA middle weight champion, it lists both GGG and Jacobs. GGG is regular champ / promoted--- Jacobs regular champ. I got my opinion on why they made that move but that's irrelevant. The fact is that they are both champions and like I said. Jacobs deserves no less than a 60/40 split.

    Like I said, the decision is up to the WBA. And yes, Jacobs does deserve less than %40, considering he is the contender going up against the undisputed champion. What Povetkin did wasn't the BS, the BS would've been him dragging the negotiations by demanding a big split from the champ.

    You keep parroting that GGG has to beat Jacobs to become the full WBA champ, who's to say WBA won't make another fight for another regular belt like they did after Wlad beat Povetkin? By your logic, there's no possible way to become an undisputed champion these days.

    And no, GGG doesn't have 17 title defences. He wasn't a legitimate titlist until the former WBA champ dropped his rather than defending against Golovkin, and neither is Jacobs now.

    Yeah, he does deserve at least 40% of the purse and that's what's holding up the fight. They have made a decision and I am confident that he will get it or very close to it. You keep yapping about what Wlad and Povetkin did and I don't care about that. Things won't change until somebody makes a stand and it's a good thing that Jacobs is doing it. Fact is that it's a flawed system of the WBA's own making and they have to fix it. Just because they gave GGG the title of super champion ( he didn't fight for it ) shouldn't mean that he is entiltled to that big of a cut from Jacobs who is also a champion and fought for and won the title. Jacobs only hang up is money not fear.

    GGG isn't the undisputed champ.

    The only flaw here is making up another title and calling it a "world title" when there's already a rightful champion. GGG is the righful WBA champion, he made his way to a mandatory position and the only reason he didn't fight for it was because the former real champ chose to vacate it rather than defending it against GGG, who he went on to beat later. There's only one WBA MW champion and It's not Jacobs, just like there's only one LHW champion who's not Nathan Cleverly.

    You're not supporting Jacobs here, you're supporting the corruption just to hate on a certain fighter.

    jacobs isn't a champ. the winner will be super champ and the wba will hold a fight for the vacant regular belt. the regular belt is squat.

    That's the reason I said that he must fight Jacobs, After the fight, then the second title can be eliminated. That will be the end of that. Until then, Jacobs is entitled to be compensated in the manner of a champion because that is what he is. Don't accuse me of hating because this conversation has nothing to do with GGG as a person or a fighter.

    Doesn't matter what you define it as. An undisputed champ is a champ recognized by each governing body.

    Alright, maybe I misjudged. But how do you know It will be eliminated? Like I said, a WBA super champ beat a regular champ before and they just ordered another fight for the "vacant regular" title. WBA is the last sanctioning body whose word I trust.

    Oh no, Jacobs is a champ and there is no doubt about it. The regular belt is the original hardware, the super belt is the manufactured belt. The regular belt was held by champions like Hagler and Monzon. Don't tell me it's squat. Jacobs and GGG need to fight and whoever wins need to be recognized as simply the champion. They should get rid of that super bs altogether.

    No. The major boxing governing bodies are the WBA, WBO, WBC, and IBF
