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

[Ron Swanson]

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.

How does Matchroom give you more clout?

With the financial backing of Sky/Matchroom , fights can be made easier. They had enough financial muscle to tempt GGG to fight in the UK against a guy 2 weights below, so it's feasible that they can push through fights against Canelo or GGG imo.
until now, it's been all too easy for Canelo and GGG to ignore Jacobs and push him out of the picture, waiting on the sidelines for sometime never.

Speaking of ignoring Jacobs, throw Charlo in. And Charlo/Jacobs is quickly getting talk as I said months ago it would, knowing GGG, Canelo, Lemieux and BJS would have no interest in fighting 6'1 guys with power in both hands. Jacobs said he wants the top guys and was the first one to say Charlo's name without "I won't fight" attached. Charlo fired back that he's down. I'm rather sure we all suspect Canelo will go after BJS/Lemieux winner, if GGG won't fight Jacobs or Charlo that leaves those 2 to fight. Any way you slice it MW suddenly has many good possibilities between

BJS
Lemieux and the good fighters

GGG
Jacobs
Charlo
Canelo

Sucks Canelo is completely in charge of who fights whom.
