    Whatever Jacobs said, to think he would possibly "step in" is just not reality. Jacobs purse alone would cover about 5 Warren shows altogether. It would be a massive promoted fight in a big venue if he came to Britain for Saunders, not a "little" gaff like the Copperbox. Look at the promotion Davis got for his fight with Walsh over here, two relative no-names compared to Jacobs and BJS.

    These divs that post youtube videos are beyond thick. Jacobs tweets "lets go Billy Joe" which means Saunders is ducking him. Is Jacobs gonna take the same purse as KHURTSIDZE? The little hitman would have been getting a low 6-figure purse at best.

    These naive dopes think Jacobs, a geezer that steps in the ring once in a bluemoon, is all of a sudden going to hop on a plane and challenge a top 5 rated middleweight at a few weeks notice for 10% of his last purse and 35% of what he got against Sergio Mora. Get real for fucks sake, it's not that hard to work out, surely?

    Fenster quick to line up the excuses. It's Jacobs fault when BJS fights another joke fight 😂

    Fenster would have you believe Jacobs isn't serious. So I will post an article that show Jacobs chattering about wanting BJS in UK as far back as May 12th

    Fenster would also have you believe Jacobs doesn't understand what stepping in means, or how little money there is available. But this article also shows Jacobs has the same manager as Khurtsiditz(so?) so he is well aware of the money.

    I have to say I'm somewhere in between @Fenster & @Ron Swanson here.
    Let's be honest, Fenny's probably right, when it comes down to it, Jacobs wouldn't fight for the measly sum he's likely to get. He wouldn't be worried about BJS or coming here, but he ain't doing it for peanuts in reality.
    At the same time , 2 things Spring to mind.
    1. It's not Jacobs fault that Warren hasn't got the clout to pay both fighters enough to make it doable.
    2. I don't want to hear Warren or BJS talk about "wanting the big fights" or "I'll fight anyone!" Bollocks.
    We all know BJS would only fight bums unless he could cash out if he had his way. Even Khurtsidze was a mandatory, he had no choice.
    And if a fight comes along he's not interested in, or he can't be bothered to make the weight, he'll cry off with a hand injury caused by Wanking!

    You all are acting like you don't understand the business. I say acting because I assume you know better.

    Jacobs wants the money from a GGG rematch. Or even more he would love Canelo to win IF JACOBS HAS THAT BELT. If he doesn't GGG has already said he isn't looking at Jacobs and Canelo surely wouldn't be.

    It isn't about what he would get paid fighting BJS, it would be about his earning potential skyrocketing by being "the other champion", the ONLY other champion. He would go from nobody looking at him to the best paydays being forced to look at him.

    Nobody can blame BJS for sitting back waiting on his payday against the Canelo winner. But to ACT as if Jacobs wouldn't be interested in being in BJS spot is ignorant/naive or dishonest.

    uhm, not really. Yes he would want BJS's belt, but at what price. For example,
    1. would Jacobs , as the challenger accept a purse to fight BJS of say , 10% - 20% of what he earnt in his
    Last fight?
    2. Would BJS Want the high risk / low reward (compared to GGG or Canelo) fight? No.
    3. Let's say BJS offered the fight, Jacobs took the fight, and won. And GGG Beats Canelo. GGG has already shown disinterest in the rematch, say he finally moves up in weight? Who does he fight? Canelo? Ok, say Canelo beats GGG, does he want Jacobs? Doubt it, ODLH is the US Version of Warren, give him some easy fights , marinate, keep winning,keep talking shit. So Jacobs would've sacrificed himself financially for nothing.
    4. Ok we've already talked about the small purse, now Jacobs wouldn't worry about coming over here, but what if he got a dodgy hometown decision? Nothing is certain in life.
    Jacobs would beat BJS, no doubt. But it's not that simple , and you know that. If you don't , are YOU "ignorant, naive and dishonest " ?
