Negotiations have been dragging on for unified middleweight titleholder Gennady Golovkin to face secondary titlist Daniel Jacobs. On Tuesday,?the camps pulled the plug on any hope of the fight to take place on the planned date of Dec. 10.While they still hope to make a deal for the bout to be in early 2017, the absence of it on Dec. 10 left a gaping hole in HBOs fourth-quarter schedule, but it is one that unified junior welterweight champion Terence Crawford is all too happy to fill.Once Golovkin-Jacobs was off the networks schedule, HBO was suddenly left with an available date and a seven-figure chunk of money that had been earmarked for the card. Crawford, who had wanted to fight three times this year, was scheduled for?only two bouts because there were no available HBO dates or money left. Now he is likely to get his third bout of 2016.Plans quickly went into motion once GGG-Jacobs was a no-go.?Top Rank promoter Bob Arum told ESPN on Thursday that he and HBO are working to put together a Crawford fight to take place Dec. 10.Were hoping to get it done and hoping to get a good opponent, Arum said. Were working on Dec. 10 for Crawford, but we and HBO only want to do it if its a significant fight.Arum did not want to dive into the?details on the opponent because there is no deal yet. Its typical for promoters to keep their desired opponent under wraps, because?once the details are out, suddenly their price goes up when the opponent hears they are being considered.Crawfords team and HBO would likely accept world titleholder Eduard Troyanovsky (25-0, 22 KOs), 36, of Russia, or Antonio Orozco (25-0, 16 KOs), 28, of San Diego. Orozco is one of Crawfords mandatory challengers and has previously appeared on HBO.We had a date on HBO in January, and they asked us if Crawford could move to December once they lost the Golovkin fight, and Crawford was OK with that, Arum said.Arum said he hopes to put on the fight at the CenturyLink Center in Crawfords hometown of Omaha, Nebraska. The arena is already booked with a Creighton University mens basketball game on Dec. 10, but Arum said he is talking to the school about possibly moving the game to the following day in order to accommodate the fight.Well see what happens. Were talking to them about trying to clear the date, Arum said. If they cant do it, well have to look to see where else we can go, but Terence is a great draw in Omaha.The 29-year-old Crawford (29-0, 20 KOs), who was the 2014 fighter of the year, vacated his lightweight world title in 2015 and moved up to junior welterweight. He knocked out Thomas Dulorme in the sixth round to win a vacant title.Crawford has defended the title three times, including a dominant decision victory against Viktor Postol on July 23 in Las Vegas to unify two belts in fight between the boxers widely considered Nos. 1 and 2 in the weight division.There was disappointment in the Crawford camp when it seemed as though he would not fight again this year, but now there is excitement for the potential Dec. 10 bout, according to Cameron Dunkin, Crawfords co-manager.He wants to fight, Dunkin said. He down (in San Juan, Puerto Rico) for the WBO convention and he ran into (Top Rank vice president) Carl Moretti and said he is ready to go. So he wants to fight. Right now its about getting an opponent and working out the money with everyone. Terence has never been a guy who doesnt want to fight.Wholesale Nike Air Max 270 .

Everton manager Roberto Martinez says that keeping Baines at the club is a "massive boost and exciting for the future" because he brings "maturity and football knowledge in a very specialized position on the pitch" and an "infectious and positive influence to the rest of the squad.

Nike Air Max 270 Outlet . -- The boos poured down on Tom Brady and the New England Patriots at the end of a horrible first half.With turnover-free rookie quarterback Dak Prescott, the Dallas Cowboys are already in better shape than they were without Tony Romo in the early part of last season.First of all, they already have a win.There is also the hope with the way Prescott has already progressed in two games to believe there could be more wins while Romo continues to heal from that broken bone in his back.Now were two weeks into this, so we have to understand that. I think he improved from Week 1 to Week 2, I think he learned from some of the experiences in the opener, and I think he improved over the course of practice and throughout the game in Washington, coach Jason Garrett said Monday.He approaches it the right way, it starts with that. His intangibles are excellent, his preparation, his poise, his composure, all of that stuff gives him a chance to play well.After winning 27-23 at Washington, when Prescott helped direct a late go-ahead drive, the Cowboys (1-1) are back home Sunday night against the Chicago Bears.Then before the bye week in late October, there are three more games against teams that have already lost games this season -- San Francisco, Cincinnati and Green Bay.Romo did make the trip with the Cowboys to Washington, a positive sign that his back was well enough to travel without any problems.He even threw a few passes on the field before the game and got an exam from team doctors in which owner Jerry Jones said the 36-year-old quarterback looked good.But that is no indication of an immediately pending return for Romo.Hes in that stage right now, Jones said. Hopefully, soon, hell be out of the danger stage relative tto his spine, probably 2/3 more weeks and we can see how far he wants to go by his own volition.ddddddddddddWhen the Cowboys opted against putting Romo on injured reserve, they allowed the possibility that he could play before Nov. 6, which would have been the earliest he could have played if on that list. Their bye week is Oct. 23, a week after playing at the Packers and a week before playing Philadelphia.It sure doesnt sound as if any continued success by Prescott would make the Cowboys more patient in waiting for Romo to return the lineup.Not necessarily. Not necessarily, Jones said. Tonys situation when hes back will be about whether hes functional. Were a better team. We play better (with Romo).At the same time, Jones said the Cowboys are not only playing winning football with Dak, were developing him.The Cowboys were off to a 2-0 start last season before Romo missed seven games because of a broken collarbone -- and lost them all.Prescott has already set an NFL rookie record with 75 pass attempts without throwing an interception, breaking a mark previously held by Hall of Famer Warren Moon.We dont really get caught up in records. Hes just handled himself well. Hes prepared for the opportunities he gets, Garrett said. You can tell hes started a lot of games, and understands the ebb and flow of the game, and doesnt force things.---AP Sports Writer Schuyler Dixon contributed to this report.---Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
