If that's the case breh, then why in June of this year, did Jacobs say it'll be about a year & a half from then (which would mean 2018 ) that he would fight GGG?

:yeshrug:

Jacobs said 2 years ago he'd be ready for a fight with golovkin and it's been 2 years

I can only go on what I was told

Jacobs offered himself to Saunders team and they ain't want it

Jacobs mando dropped a belt in order not to face him

Jacobs team attempted 2x this year before the WBA mandated he and golovkin fight

Now I'll ask you.

Why is Jacobs who is a better fighter and bigger draw than Lemew and Geale, being offered a worse % than them?

Jacobs is not a bigger draw than Lemieux. Secondly, Jacobs is being offered what he's being offered bc it's a purse bid and he's the mandatory contender.

It's been a 75/25 split for all purse bids thru WBA

granados-broner :ehh: wasn't expecting this but, granados is a much better opponent than burns. granados like hererra got on the end of a few tough decisions resulting into L's.

let's be real, can broner even make 140? :usure:

broner better get his shyt together, granados might be 19-4 but he aint no pushover. he not as strong a maidana or porter, and not on their level skill wise but he has a good beard and keeps the pressure on his opponent. wonder where this shyt gonna be at though? :lupe:

the sport need garcia-thurman on cbs, real talk. :takedat:

PBC on Spike TV Friday night drew 547,000 per Sports TV Ratings.

In the main event Daniel Jacobs stopped Sergio Mora to retain his middleweight world title. Per Sports TV Ratings, it drew 187,000 viewers in the adult 18-49 demo

Only 187k in the main event on Spike and 3/4ths of the crowd left after Easter/Commey bc they were there for Easter.

So how is Lemieux a bigger draw than Jacobs?
Click to expand...

He sells out his hometown.


David Lemieux doesn't do big US TV numbers as he is not from the US. However, he does big attendance #'s in Canada.


His last fight on TV was as the co-main on Canelo/Khan HBO PPV and then vs GGG in the main event on HBO PPV.


Yall can use his fight vs N'Dam to try and downplay his draw, but context is needed, bc he went up against AB vs Shawn Porter & Andre Ward's return vs Paul Smith. No way was he gonna draw that night on US TV regardless.


The last time David Lemieux fought on HBO, vs Gabe Rosado, he did 1.16 million viewers.

Lemieux-Rosado HBO Tripleheader A Hit With Viewers - Boxing News



Jacobs BIGGEST fight, vs Quillin, he did 408k peak.

Jacobs-Quillin averages only 386K viewers on Showtime - Boxing News



Not to mention Jacobs just had a fight where 3/4ths of the crowd left BEFORE his main event fight.



Lemieux is a bigger draw than him.
