It sounds as if it is extremely frustrating to negotiate with Wilder's camp. Main reason Glazkov turned down fight.

Erickson Lubin Wants The Best, Eyes Busy 2016

Erickson Lubin 13-0-0 (10 KO's) is growing with each fight and remains humble, praising his fans for the success that he's achieved so far a pro.
Lubin has the required charisma of a future star and loves to spend time with fans of all ages. He never refuses a photo op or the opportunity to discuss the sport he loves with younger fans.
"I love children and especially young people who love boxing. I sign gloves; I take a picture with them because they are my fans and they make us athletes. I'm ready for the best at my weight. Little by little I'm getting better and increasing my level. My managers Garry Jonas and Henry Rivalta know what I like and go in search of the best fights," said Lubin
He adds. "I have the world's best adviser Al Haymon, I have the support of Luis De Cubas Jr. and Brad Owens. My coaches Herman Caicedo and Jason Galarza believe in me. I have all the ingredients to achieve my goals and unconditional support ... I will not disappoint. I will one day soon be the world champion, the champion of the people, and want to be remembered as a warrior inside the ring and outside the ring to be humble."
Lubin is part of the talent rich 154-pound division. In 2015, he had five fights, and his team expects him to continue with that pace in 2016. Gradually, Lubin has become the new sensation in his weight class, projected as a prospect with great potential.
"2016 is an important year for Lubin, said his manager Rivalta: "Al Haymon has great expectations for this young man. And in the same way he shines in amateur boxing, we hope he does it in professional boxing. There is no hurry and we're burning stages, to get to the really important fights in great shape."

Thats not true. I think it's unrealistic to SUGGEST Mayweather vs Golovkin as a realistic fight but if Floyd came back and said I want Golovkin for the middleweight belts, EVERYONE would be interested in watching that. Because yeah, Floyd has been so good fighting any current Welterweight and even junior middleweights doesn't really cut it. Golovkin at middleweight though? Interesting as fuck. Realistic? Fuck no.

It's crazy to me Haymon paid Jacobs and Quillin $1.5 million a piece with such horrible ratings. Now their self worth is artificially inflated and this is why you got Jacobs expecting like $3 million minimum for fighting Golovkin which is just absolutely unrealistic, and the same for Leo Santa Cruz when he was asking at least three million to fight Rigondeaux (his logic: I get a million bucks to fight bums therefore I should get at least three million to fight Rigondeaux who is much better than a bum!). Same applies here. Some of this overpaying fighters stuff isn't good for the sport if all they do is price themselves out of good fights. Happens all the time with Haymon guys.
Golovkin-Jacobs on The Verge of Being Ordered? - Boxing News
Pretty soon, things will change. The next mega-fight is Canelo vs GGG and every SB wants a piece of the pie. If GGG vs Jacobs does end up happening, I do see Canelo GGG happening in late 2016, early 2017 like I predicted before.

Not going to end up happening, not anytime soon anyways. For one, Golovkin is under contract with HBO and it would be crazy to think Haymon would immediately put Jacobs on a rival network after the biggest win of his career rather than building him up more with the PBC brand. But even if we put that aside, if it goes to a purse bid, per WBA rules Golovkin would get 75% of the purse because he's the "super champion" and Jacobs 25% because he's just the "regular champion" (challenger). After what Jacobs said, you think he's going to fight for 25%? Yeah right.
An interesting strategy though by K2 and HBO is to allow Golovkin to fight off network. Let it go to a purse bid. Haymon bids some crazy number and wins, Golovkin gets 75% of that crazy number, fights Jacobs on whatever PBC network they want, Golovkin wins and then goes back home to HBO. HBO and K2 wouldn't have to pay a dime, they get Golovkin more exposure at the expense of Haymon and have a bigger fight on HBO after. I doubt HBO would see it that way though.

Although I understand and agree with mostly everything that you said, letting go of GGG for a fight with Jacobs is something they must do to make the mega fight much more mega-er. When Lomechenko lost, HBO let him go to Showtime to fight GR Jr and Loma won. Now HBO and TR have the champ in Loma that they wanted. The ppv with GGG was poorly promoted and they need other ways to hype up GGG a lil more. A win over Jacobs would be HUGE for GGG. By next year he will be the super duper champ at 160 and will just need what Canelo has, which should be easy for him. Maybe the new exec at HBO is willing to put up a "PBC" ppv?
I don't think Loma had an exclusive contract with HBO at that time.Pretty sure he got a contract after winning that fight.
What do you mean by PBC PPV? I don't think any of those guys at or around middleweight are PPV material, certainly not Jacobs (maybe he could be in the future but it would take time).
