By Dan Ambrose: With Gennady “GGG” Golovkin and Daniel Jacobs’ management still having not agreed to a fight for the WBA ordered 160lb match-up, it’s looking like the fight will be going to a purse bid. The World Boxing Association president Gilberto Mendoza ordered the fighters to start negotiations on September 11, and gave them 30 days to put the fight together.
We are now just six days away from the end of the 30 days and there still isn’t a negotiated fight. It looks like a purse bid will be ordered for the fight. According to Fight News, Golovkin’s promoter Tom Loeffler is saying that they’ve failed to reach an agreement with Jacobs’ management. It’s unknown what the sticking point is in the negotiations.
