Saunders: Money is negotiable, but no fight unless Golovkin comes to the UK

Case in point that he's willing to fight in the UK. The barker fight never happened and it was along time ago, back when GGG was not as important a property to HBO and the division as he is now. I have no doubt GGG would be more than willing to travel for the right money but would HBO be willing to part with a prime time slot for a fight in the UK?

glove size....? you mean the kind of gloves they wear. glove size is standard. once in a blue moon will the size of the gloves change from the standard. pacquiao - margarito wore 8 oz for a fight at 150 for example. they're 160 lbers. there will be no controversy over the size of the gloves. gloves typically move from 8 oz to 10 oz once guys weigh above WW I think he was referring to Glove padding type more than size. No Horsey hair, only the softest, silkiest fibers enriched with Aloe and Vitamin E LOL

Meh...I wouldn't be surprised to see demands on glove size, ring size and other things come up within the next few weeks. At this stage, I have a feeling Billy Hoe Saunders will take a dive if the fight happens because he clearly doesn't want the fight. glove size....? you mean the kind of gloves they wear. glove size is standard. once in a blue moon will the size of the gloves change from the standard. pacquiao - margarito wore 8 oz for a fight at 150 for example. they're 160 lbers. there will be no controversy over the size of the gloves. gloves typically move from 8 oz to 10 oz once guys weigh above WW

That's fine but what does that have to do with the current situation? Case in point that he's willing to fight in the UK.

Golovkin agreed to fight Darren Barker in the UK for just eastern Euro tv rights, 20 ring-side tickets, and a logo on the canvas. That's fine but what does that have to do with the current situation?

Understandable not wanting it in Germany but it should be on neutral ground.

If Saunders takes less money, then I see no reason why the fight can't be in the UK. GGG is trying to build an international brand and fighting here, for what is in all honesty, an easy title win would do him wonders. Put the fight in Manchester, MEN, 10,000 people, Boxnation and HBO. Sorted. Still, I don't think Saunders actually wants the fight lol Golovkin agreed to fight Darren Barker in the UK for just eastern Euro tv rights, 20 ring-side tickets, and a logo on the canvas.

BJS terms: 1. Fight has to at 156lb catchweight 2. Fight must be in his hometown. 3. Rematch clause. 4. Another rematch clause 5. Golovkin has to wear bigger gloves 6. Nobody allowed to make fun of the fact that his name is BJ. 7. 110/0 purse split in his favour plus an autographed copy of Borat on DVD. I think BJS has a harder time making 160 than Golovkin. He wants to be compensated for losing . He wants to be compensated for retiring.

Nobody here knows Saunders or GGG well enough for it to be huge. It's still a good atmosphere though I would think.

How many times do I have to post it. All these fighters know GGG needs a stay busy fight as fighting Canelo in the fall is his ultimate goal. Now that we all know that these fighters are doing the right thing and pulling leverage on GGG. GGG is a high risk low reward guy. Guys can make just as much money fighting other guys and not get beat down so they will squeeze K2 to take that ass whipping. Its not like they will make all that much more fighting GGG than other fights. Would be hilarious if he has to go to another fighters turf to get a decent fight.

Kovalev did that too with cleverly and still smashed him for it.

HBO may not want him fighting out of North America considering theyre trying to turn him into a star in the USA. I'm thinking Saunders is requesting GGG travel in hopes it kills the fight for now. Honestly, if I was BJS or his promoter, I'd be looking to milk an easy defense or two first. Why not?

I don't get why Saunders would want the fight in the UK. Why would you want to get put face down ass up in front of family and friends and fellow countrymen.. Saunders should just reject the fight outright for now, or take a lot of cash and go to America and get beheaded He probably hopes the fight goes to a decision

If he can get the fight there, then so be it

Exactly. Plus they have the best fans over there, and the hype would be huge. Nobody here knows Saunders or GGG well enough for it to be huge.

Why 8s team Golovkin even entertaining g this idiot? Not even that trinket he's carrying is worth all this crap. Im definitely not high on a Johnson fight but at this point, Saunders thinks he's De La Hoya, Mayweather, Pacquiao and Cotto all rolled into one.

Yes please! Set it up somewhere in Manchester! Fixed it for ya!;)

Too good to be true is precisely what it is. Saunders will find a reason to avoid the fight. Of course, GGG should travel. Disregard the morons blabbing about "A-side". Collecting this belt is more important...
