Shocked at how little these two are earning for this in the US
Haye and Bellew got paid way way way more for a non title fight
Golovkin vs. Jacobs fight purses: GGG banks $2.5 million, ‘Miracle Man’ nabs $1.75 million
Gennady Golovkin will put his undefeated record on the line tomorrow night (Sat., Mar. 18, 2017) live on HBO Boxing pay-per-view (PPV) from inside Madison Square Garden in New York City, New York, when he takes on human comeback story Daniel Jacobs. It is easily one of the biggest matchups of 2017 and yet another opportunity for Golovkin to put his knockout power to use.
As arguably the pound-for-pound best boxer on the planet, GGG does not come cheap. According to RingTV’s Mitch Abramson (h/t Bloody Elbow), the 34-year-old champion stands to make a $2.5 million fight purse to put his WBA (Super), WBC, IBF, and IBO middleweight titles on the line opposite Jacobs, who will bank a lesser, yet still satisfying, $1.75 million purse. That surpasses Jacobs’ previous career-high of $1.5 million.
Keep in mind, those numbers don’t include any sort of PPV earnings or sponsorship money that GGG and “Miracle Man” will pull in. Saturday’s main event scrap will be Golovkin’s second appearance on HBO PPV, while Jacobs will enjoy his first ever PPV headliner.
MMAmania will deliver LIVE coverage of "Golovkin vs. Jacobs," starting with the HBO pay-per-view (PPV) broadcast starting at 9 p.m. ET. You can watch a live stream of the undercard https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4OS9rytk-lY starting at 7 p.m. ET.
They've still been trying to sell tickets all week and the PPV buys are projected to be really low. It's a fight between a geezer with no fans (Jacobs was getting booed at the weigh-in - "Brooklyn in da house!!!" Gets booed. Imagine a UK fighter getting coated off in his hometwown. Weird.) and a foreigner.
As far as the dough goes though - Not many fighters are on 7-figure paydays, no American based fighter barring Pac, Canelo and Cotto will get more than $2.5m.
Wilder - American heavyweight champion - got $900,000 his last fight. Thurman-Garcia $2m each. Broner $1m. Ward $2m etc...
There has not been any real interest in the 160 division since Pavlik was the champ not mention the 160 division been pretty barren with not many big names especially in America. Wilder to a lot of people is just a trinket holder America has not had a real heavyweight champ since Holyfeild it has been huge drought. Not to mention MMA taken some eyes off boxing and seems to be growing everywhere in the world but here kinda staying the same.Quote:

It seems as if Jacobs is relying so much of Kell Brook's early success against GGG and is saying to himself: "If Kell can do it, why can't I? Plus, I'm bigger and stronger."
But NOT quicker. Add the fact that GGG almost intentionally stood in front of Brook.
well I'm all geared up for the long night ahead, I've just realized that Iron Fist is now on Netflix so I can get a fair few episodes watched before the boxing starts
Jacobs has already lost.
If he's not bothered about making weight and getting the ibf belt then he can't be bothered about anything else.
So unprofessional.
This is a cracking matchup but I don't think Jacobs is tough enough to take a beating. Getting ironed out by Pirog ain't half as bad as being dumped by Mora - it wasn't even a nothing flash knockdown, he sat there like a space man then had a wibble-wobble standing up.
Jacobs can obviously punch, but I can't see Golovkin getting snipered with one shot, you'd need to bash him up to stop him. Golovkin is too smart to start reckless, he'll have a little look at first, which will make Jacobs sniper right-hand from distance look sexy, then Golovkin will take the distance away from him, force him to fight going backwards and it's goodnight vienna.
Golovkin KO rd 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 at a general 10/1-14/1.
(sorry to write this, not my style, but I'd be surprised if Jacobs isn't brutally knocked out)
I think the same way, but hope Jacobs can win a few rounds and maybe go the distance. That would be an achievement and far beyond what anyone else has done against GGG.Quote:

I also have a gut feeling this could be like Hagler v Hearns at some point ;)
Really wanna see Golovkin take some heavy shots and be in the trenches tonight, hopefully Jacobs is the man to finally do that
I have ordered the ppv... not sure if it is worth it though... if the gonzalez fight turns out to be good then it could prove good value but looking at the card i suspect I shouldnt have paid.
Do not regret it, just enjoy it.Quote:

HBO take the piss charging $64.95 for the HD PPV
Thats over £52 in English money!!!
FUCK THAT
Really surprised Jacobs blew off the 2nd weigh in. Can only assume he's stuffed or some screwy trinket politics. Just doesn't seem like him either way.
Ryan Martin looking good here.
yes and that.. uk ppv prices were way better too.. mayweather pac man ramped it up too :S pretty sure it was usually around 50 before that one then pacman floyd was 99 so they snuck the other prices up too ...
Ref needs to stop this fight.
You know you're in deep beating when the corner asks you for a Aaron Davis ko comeback on Breland. Nice flashback but this is probably his last round, needs to be
Good evening chaps. Probably a Golovkin KO in the main event but there may be an upset tonight. Golovkin looked terrible at the start of the Brook fight and maybe his age is catching up with him. Maybe he walks into something early.
Andy Lee won earlier
Andy Lee W8 KeAndrae Leatherwood… Former WBO middleweight title holder Andy Lee returned from a fifteen-month layoff with an uneventful unanimous decision win over KeAndrae Leatherwood. Lee, from Limerick, Ireland, defeated Alabama’s Leatherwood by scores of 80-72, 78-74 and 79-73. There was not much action in the first half of the eight rounder as Leatherwood (19-4-1) struggled to figure out Lee’s southpaw stance and Lee (35-3-1) seemed in no hurry to push the pace. The middleweight encounter resembled the mannequin challenge more than a fight. Lee finally dialed up his activity rate in the sixth round, putting Leatherwood on his back foot. Over the last three rounds, Lee got the better of the action, mixing in lead left hands effectively with his jab. Neither fighter was down or even hurt during the bout.
Lee had not fought since losing his WBO middleweight title to Billy Joe Saunders in December 2015. Leatherwood had been much busier in the recent past, winning four times in 2016, although all four of his victims had losing records. It would be tempting to chalk up Lee’s performance to ring rust, but his effort tonight wasn’t all that different from his showing against Matt Korobov when he won the vacant WBO title in 2014.
UNDERCARD
A four-round heavyweight bout was won via majority decision by Matt McKinney over Scottish teenager big Jay McFarlane. McKinney got the narrow nod on the scorecards by scores of 39-37 (twice) and 38-38. His record improves to 4-2-2. McFarlane, who shook his head in disgust as the decision was announced, heads back to Glasgow at 2-1.
The Madison Square Garden show opened up with a junior middleweight bout between Serhii Bohachuk of the Ukraine and Cuban-born Yasmani Pedroso. Bohachuk stopped Pedroso to improve to 3-0. Pedroso is now 1-2.
Impressive back acne on Cuadras. I'm guessing there's no VADA testing for this fight.
3-1 Cuadras. Good scrap. He's been shaking out his arms for 4 rounds though. Carmona is live

Good fight so far though, this Mexican isn't bad at all.
3-2 Cuadros. Carmona having success tapping his right side in close. 4-2.
Jacobs near 180 ??? Come on man
Enjoying this fight, starting to warm up a bit now.
Cuadras is coming forward more
It's when you see it on guys who've never had a blemish before. Like JMM in his last couple of fights after he hooked up with Heredia.Quote:

Is that an HBO weight? I wonder why he dodged the second weigh in but then let HBO weigh him.Quote:

this fight just got very interesting carmona did a lot of damage there but gave him a rest too with his weird low blows :S.. I think cuadras will recover though andgo on to win the decision.
4-3 Cuadros. Carmona huge 7th, LB looked to be on thigh but shit shifts :-X. He's hurt him in the body at least 3 times..Cuadras still shaking out his arms
Refs looking to get some insurance
