Here's what Malignaggi and Jacobs had to say on Tuesday:
Paulie Malignaggi
"The whole motivation was not just to defend a world title but to put on a show for Brooklyn.
"I'm here is to win and look spectacular and really make a statement.
"I expect Brooklyn to be in the house, that's for sure."
Danny Jacobs
"To have gone through what I've gone through in the past year and a half (his battle with cancer and paralysis caused by a large tumor on his spine), to have this opportunity and attention, to have people say I appreciate you, it's an amazing feeling.
"To have this amazing Barclays' card on October 20, it's going to be historical.
"The doctors told me I would never be able to box again. It was the crazy part of me that wanted to do what the doctors told me I couldn't do."
