    i dont think there gonna be an other regular champ after this fight...wba already stated their goal to have only one champ in each division which is why this fight is ordered in the first place!GGG gonna be the one and only wba champ after this

    • Hopefully it can be made... Just hope Team GEE don't try to low nut Jacobs & Haymon or else this fight will fall thru just like every other Golo fight.

    GGG opponents get their career high paydays.

    I suspect the negotiations are not going anywhere.

    GGG and Danny both want the fight, so I don't think any of the hangups are from their end. I suspect it's more of HBO waiting to see what happens with Klitschko-Joshua, which is a more attractive fight for them. They may not be able to afford both.

    True.
    Prior to meeting Golovkin, his opponent's career high paydays were measured in the tens of thousands. That's the going rate for bums.

    It be a shame if this fight didn't get made. It would make me sick to my stomach if golovkin-heiland or golovkin-johnson gets announced next.

    One week from purse bid. Jacobs being an obstinate diva who is planning on taking his case to the court of public opinion like Canelo as they pass on the biggest challenge the sport has to offer.

    If it goes to purse bid, Does Al Haymon have enough money in his piggy bank to pay Jacobs his demands? I don't have a lot of confidence that he does.

    And if that's the case, how does it change things for ggg-jacobs fight being made?

    I think yes, yes it will.

    Jacobs is a high risk low reward type fighter.

    He's already been sparked by Pirog and doesn't have a huge following. He has no real belt and isn't that highly regarded.

    But he can turn your lights out with one punch.

    I don't see him getting many big name fights other than against G.
