Still, the folks behind the fighters may have different motivations.
Because, let's stick to reality; Golovkin's fights have been backed by sizable money since at least 2014 (the alleged German TV money, HBO putting up money, and Golovkin really starting to sell tickets), yet K2 has found ways to keep Golovkin in fights where he's the 8:1 favorite or higher.
The man's been a professional fighter for 10 years, has had some version of a world title for the last 6 years, yet he's never been in a remotely competitive fight (Golovkin-Brook, with Brook coming up two weight classes, was 5:1 at that was his most competitive fight).
That doesn't happen by happenstance.

He's matched like a 24 y/o prospect instead of a 34 year old veteran........for a reason.
The fight when he got dropped on his eyebrows by an Argentine nobody vanished from Youtube and off his record.
Guy has some pull behind him for sure..as popular as he is WE KNOW NOTHING ABOUT HIM.
I wonder why that is.

Jacobs is preventing this fight from happening, not the other way around. This is a great opportunity for him and he's gonna blow it.

If you actually read the article, you would've seen that literally nothing was said about Jacobs vacating the belt.
As usual, rather than reading anything, you blatantly make some **** up, hoping that no one actually goes and checks the information.
Because, Rozier said, he can picture the wheels off the wagon if a purse bid is forced. “If it goes to bid then I think it falls apart.”

Originally posted by Derranged View PostJacobs did have an issue with fighting Golovkin: He wanted more money. 1.5 million was fine, its not Golovkin's fault that Haymon was overpaying him. Let's just hope they could reach some sort of deal......

The **** are YOU to say how much is too much while sitting on your flat ass typing.
Getting paid more > Getting paid less
At least it is in this Country
America ain't for your scraping ass...you should be back where your dad fled and type nonsense from there.
These guys get hit in the head for a living...they deserve as much as they can get and then some.
Look where Pritchet Colon is right now...one minute a rising star...in a coma fighting for his life the next.
Al Haymon is paying ALL of his expenses and recently moved him to the best aftercare facility in the nation.
