Danny Jacobs and Gabriel Rosado got into a brief heated discussion after the weigh-in on Thursday in Phoenix. Jacobs (35-3 29 KOs) started things off by coming up to the journeyman Rosado and thanking him for being on standby, because he was able to get an extra million after his opponent Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. failed to make weight.
Rosado, 33, would like to fight Jacobs, but the feelings aren’t mutual, given Gabe’s poor record of 24-12-1, 14 KOs. Jacobs told Rosado,
“I get NOTHING out of fighting you.” Rosado then asked Jacobs why’s fighting Chavez Jr. who is arguably no better off with his career. At that point, Jacobs didn’t have much to say about that, but the answer is obvious.
Rosado and Jacobs clash backstage
Jacobs: “I want to thank you, because if you weren’t my replacement, I wouldn’t have gotten that extra M [$1 million] in the bank.”
Rosado: “Handle your business, but you’re corny though.”
Jacobs: “You would never step foot in the ring with me. You know why? Because you don’t deserve it.”
Rosado: “Really? What makes you think that?”
Jacobs: “Because of your record.”
Rosado: “You been inside, and you saw what happened when I fought Kid [Chocolate Quillin]”
Jacobs: “Okay, that’s Kid Chocolate. What about the rest of the [guys that beat you?]. What about the times you got knocked out?”
Rosado: “Who knocked me out?
Jacobs: “David Lemieux never knocked you out?”
Rosado: “[Sergio] Mora dropped your dumb a–. Look at my record. No one ever knocked me out.”
Jacobs: “I get nothing out of fighting you.”
Rosado: “Then why are you fighting Chavez?”
Jacobs: “I get nothing out of fighting Chavez? Look, good luck to you tomorrow with whoever it is you’re fighting. I just want to say thank you, Bro. You got me an extra M [million]. You the man, Bro.”
Rosado: “You’re still a nut.”
Jacobs: “Your game is gone, but we can spar though. If you want to spar, we can put some.”
Rosado: “We can do it right here.”
Jacobs: “I gave you your opportunity in Vegas. Don’t front me. I gave you your opportunity when I said to smack me. You said, ‘Let’s not do this right here.’ Why do you want to do that? Thank you for that extra M though. You the man, bro.”
