WBA rules in favour of GGG 75/25 purse split with Jacobs

There is a section of fans who fail to understand the Slav mindset. Uzbeks, Kazakhs and Dagostani's - being the best in their division in their sport is what matters to them not PPV sales.
GGG is set for a life of luxury and influence in his home country - if he was a US citizen they would be dancing in he streets. We did when we claimed Tzyu.

 

I'll bet a dollar to a doughnut that K2 bribed the WBA to keep the unfair split so that Jacob will refuse the fight.
K2 asks GBP for a split that Golovkin doesn't deserve and K2 Nickels and Dimes Jacob.
Golovkin will be 50 years old before he takes a challenging fight.

 

"Honestly, from my standpoint, I wouldn’t let him fight on Dec. 10. That’s just the bottom line.”

That's a quote from Jacobs' trainer regarding their lack of preparation for a December fight. They haven't been putting the work in in the gym because they had no intention of taking this fight.

 

Who has Jacob fought other than mediocre Quillin.
Golovkin and Jacob are both bottom of the barrell middleweights.
Since both of them are even less known than the CONTENDER series boxers, a fight between them is a minor league event.

 

Well the purses on offer would suggest that there was more interest than you might admit. I can't think of the Contender 'stars' getting too many big paydays off of their show exploits. The only ones to earn decent cash were the ones who went on to win world titles.

 

Who did Jacob just fight? Oh, a CONTENDERS star, still making money 12 years later.
The truth is, those contender stars have far better resumes than Golovkin.
