Something about Jacobs having like 3 trainers now (with hunter and ward now in on gameplan) and algieri hired as the nutritionist just makes it seem like Jacobs haggled so he would have enough money to feel like he could buy the win or at least tilt the ring in his favor feel cheap. That tells me he already thought he wasn't good enough to win as is. It may all come rushing back when he gets hit.

Also If I'm Abel Sanchez, I bottle some of Jacobs offense/"power" by putting a word in the refs ear during the prefight instructions about those punches to the back of the head and pushes that happened in the fray to mora and quinlin.
LOL did not realise about the race thing or getting in additional people which means he gets less money.
The race thing kinda left me a little shocked and disappointed because Jacobs never seemed like a guy that wanted take the low or easy road. Then it was like poor me, its so hard as black fighter to sell out arenas when you're not faking a persona like mayweather did... like the KO at the hands of Pirog, getting dropped by Mora or telling everyone he needed a year before he was ready when GGG offered him a shot at the brass ring... had nothing to do with it.

As for the money thing, I can't blame anyone for asking about a raise. At the same time, he thought about not taking the fight (his perceived destiny) unless he was paid more. Then after going back and forth and leveraging the stripping possibility against golovkin (which i didnt get seeing as GGG was fine with the mandatory 75/25 split and it was jacobs who was hemming and hawing) he finally gets more money for doing us the favor of him resuming his pursuit of his destiny/legacy whatever... but lets hire Virgil hunter as a second trainer and Algieri as a nutritionist.. which probably brought the money he clears back down the original figure. Oh as long as Andre ward is still chirping at golovkin from the semi retirement sidelines.. lets bring him into camp and have him show me how to beat golovkin... Whats next? Jacobs gonna fly in saunders for the price of a caravan to start the boo chants at the fight?
