Comments Thread For: Golovkin's Trainer Hopes Jacobs Does Not Price Himself Out

[Mr. Luthor]

Team Golovkin does everything through the media. Stop the madness.

[Motorcity Cobra]

Sanchez is so full of it. When he was asked about the contract sent to GGG from Canelo he was talking about how he's just a trainer. Now he's back in the promoter role

[CaneloMaidana]

Go ask Hearn why Brook fought Golovkin, he's a chatterbox so i'm sure he'd love to tell you "SO I DON'T LOSE MONEY" Golovkin had a contract to fight in a Hearn promoted card, whether Hearn could deliver a fighter or not Golovkin was going to be paid. It wasn't Hernnan or Loeffler who went and talked to Kell, they didn't ask for Kell..that was Hearn and he's said so himself. So please do us all a favor and at least use facts when trying to shh on someone. Ward couldn't make 168, has openly stated in an article in boxing scene that even 175 can be a struggle for him so when exactly and how was Ward going to fight at 168? By chopping off a leg? Ya'll fkers will seriously believe and come up with anything to shh on the guy.

Golovkin picked a welter because he is not that good, you defend him because you are racist.

there is nothing "ridiculous" about their counter offer. They are not saying "pay us $50 million", they are saying "pay us 40% of what the fight actually earns in real life", be it $50 bucks or $50 million.

Nothing unreasonable about that........

Canelo sold double but should give Duck 40 percent? Why?

[lopez36]

I hope sanchez remembers this when canelo fight is being negotiated,,,that fight will sell but he can't expect a 50/50 split,no way,,

Golovkin does nowhere near the business to ask for 40% of a promotional event that Saul "Canelo" Alvarez is headlining, and you know that.

Floyd was a borderline p4p #1 fighter in the sport, and was doing solid business on his own, but he understood what the money was like for an Oscar De La Hoya fight, and made the concessions required to get that fight.

Even with the super early projections, Alvarez still did triple the business on the Liam Smith fight than Golovkin's biggest event.

Hilarious to see clowns continue to muddle the ****ing timeline. Andre Ward was 173 with three weeks to go to the Paul Smith fight, his camp made the offer to Golovkin's camp (both guys get one interim fight, before facing off in a 50/50 PPV), Golovkin's camp tucked tail, and Ward moved on to the next biggest fight possible (against Kovalev at 175lbs, with two fights before the showdown).

You idiots honestly act as if Andre Ward is now some giant light heavyweight.

[al-Xander]

Golovkin is not popular enough, according to demographics, to justify Jacobs' asking price. It's silly. Maidana got a mere $1 million from the PPV queen in their first fight.

Ok since we are all idiots go and read Andre's article here where it comes right out of his own mouth that making 168 is literally impossible for him and then come back and apologize. I don't expect you to because you know well FACTS DON'T MATTER and it's just easier to be a b*t*h @zz hater instead.
