Danny Jacobs wants an interim fight before Golovkin! Jacobs is ducking GGG!

[cheeseburger]

As well as wanting the WBA to change it rules Jacobs wants an interim fight as well.

But it is a hard deal to make. The WBA ordered the fight and gave the camps -- Tom Loeffler of K2 Promotions on GGG's behalf and Jacobs' adviser Al Haymon -- until Oct. 12 to make a deal or a purse bid would be ordered.

But the sides apparently aren't getting anywhere in the negotiations. Gilberto Mendoza Jr., president of the WBA, told ESPN.com that there has been discussion by the Jacobs side of a possible interim bout before facing Golovkin (36-0, 33 KOs), although Golovkin does not want an interim fight. He wants to do the mandatory fight with Jacobs (32-1, 29 KOs) as soon as possible, especially because it is such an attractive fight.

Also, Mendoza said that attorney Leon Margules, "on behalf of Jacobs, requested a change in the distribution percentage of the bid. The championship committee is deliberating."

Typically, a mandatory fight between a "super champion" (Golovkin in this case) and a "regular champion" (Jacobs) is a 75-25 split in the event of a purse bid with the lion's share going to the "super champion."

However, Mendoza said that Jacobs is seeking a 60-40 split (in GGG's favor).

"It has changed in some cases, but usually they are not changed," Mendoza said.

Golov is no business man. He'll accept 60-40. Watch

Damn man

[Chollo Vista]

Duck Jacobs wants an interim fight!

How?

Once the non-businessman Golovkin accepts the fight at 60-40, it will be signed sealed and delivered.

I think we have a fight boys

From what I've read, Jacobs won't get any interim fight. Golovkin seems to want the fight and it sounds like Mendoza is going to order the purse bid if there isn't an agreement met.

Apparently Danny been hanging out with both Quillin and Canelo. 'I want more money and I also want an interim fight'.

I feel bad for Gennady. It's one thing to get ducked when you're the mandatory.. but to get ducked by YOUR mandatory?

Hope K2 tells them to goto hell and WBA forces the purse bid.

[Derranged]

This fight shouldn't be that complicated to make.

I'm sick of this ****.

Pollo vista, how can you blame this on GGG?

So what happened to the "inside information" people were trying to pass off a couple weeks ago that this fight was signed and all but announced, lol? I guess the random dude from the MMA site didn't quite have the right info, did he?
