Jacobs signs for Matchroom. Jacobs-Arias/Miller-Wach/Benn-MexRS (SKY/HBO)

[Master]

So what does this mean for Jacobs? What matchroom fighters can be made for him?

It's not about Matchroom fighters, it's about having the clout behind you to get the big fights with nobody avoiding him. Like your mate in a rematch for example.

We would have made sense to sign for K2 for GGG rematch and Oscar for Canelo.

Yeah, in your World.
1. K2 may not want to sign him if they don't want the rematch.
2. Why sign a rival to your top man? Lose, lose.
If GGG wins, you've signed someone with less future earning potential and if Jacobs wins, you've blown your top earner!
Time for a rethink?

He signed with HBO and Matchroom.

[Memphis]

Jacobs, backed by HBO, Fast Eddie and Al. Kicking off this next chapter of his career by wasting his time against some bloke no ones ever heard of. #takingover

If anything looks like it gets him main event status. With Jarrell Miller . Not exactly an A+ card for hbo. Saw him originally on undercard of Wilder v Ortiz a week later.

He's fighting Arias in November. That's a pretty good fight.

[Fenster]

Arias ain't no warm up, be surprised if that's legit (could well be a short lived partnership if so). Listening to Hearn it sounded like Jacobs was getting a gimme before Lemmy (clearly who Hearn wants) whilst waiting for Golovkin/Canelo to repeat what we've already seen.

At least Jacobs hasn't any excuses now - landed himself a top promoter who deals with all the top American outfits without silly politics getting in the way and a HBO deal. And in Britain we're guaranteed his fights/cards live on Sky (result)

Better he should just fight Lemieux right? Maybe get a gun, a contract and a pen and go make him sign right? Damn Jacobs for being turned down by all the top guys, cowardly of him to be turned down.
