Billy Joe "1.5M is not enough for gg bout"

BJS done an interview yesterday confirming it was 1.5 million dollars to fight in America on HBO against Golovkin. That's peanuts considering they offered more to Chris Eubank Jr. For everyone saying it was 4-5 million - stop believing everything you read and then basing your opinions around that. skip to 23:21 to hear what they offered

This is why UFC is in a very good place. Their top draws barely make this much money...talking 3-4 people at most in one fight. It's just ridiculous the amount of money these guys expect. Who the **** is Saunders? A paper champion. If he isn't going to fight GGG then who is he going to fight?

Saunders seems to be doing a pretty good job of doing that himself. Don't think he needs much help on that front. True. He's gone on record already confessing his fear of GGG. He is now trying to make up for it by saying he wants GGG but he's not very convincing.

What was it that I read a while ago that Saunders was being offered like $6-7million dollars or something like that from K2 to fight GGG? Was it a lie? How is it now $1.5 million?

funny same things he said about ward are now being said about him

It's all tumbleweeds until the contracts are signed. It could be 10 million but what does it matter, if there is no signature it may swell be nothing because Money talks and BS walks. Is it not enough because BJS knows he won't win so if he's going to start his career descent he wants a bigger payday?

As usual, aldo and friends are trying to spin it again, its now ggg who's lowballing bjs lmao

It's like triple his highest career payday isn't it?

WBO needs to order a mandatory

Im .not sure to be honest because lemuix made 1,5 M and they had to go to ppv. I kept hearing he was offered around 3m because of uk ppv

Blow job Saunders is treading water. Any top 154-160 beats him. Even a few welters could jump up weight and beat him. The only way he keeps winning is to fight these bursak types. Eubank Jr takes him in a rematch, Jacobs beats him, quillen beats him, canelo beats him, he's going to be the new Adonis Stevenson

What!!! Everyone isn't the same? I mean no **** man. But clearly the sport has moved over to more of a business than a sport in many many ways. And I think its beyond obvious there are less guys wishing to find out "who the best is" & more guys wishing to get paid as best as possible. You can act like its all the fighters fault, but the reality is the whole sport has shifted to a money model (4 champions/PPV) more than a who's the best model (1 champion/free TV) like there used to be in the old days. And the structure of that money model we have now makes it so that even the guys who wanna find out how good they are have a hard time doing that cuz there are all sorts of obstacles in making that happen with promoters, networks & alphabet groups standing in between them quite often. All that you said is true, but the point remains about legacy. It matters to some fighters more than others even if you don't see value in it. If BJS was offered 1.5 million than that is more than fair for the "risk" imo. Maybe not to him, but that ain't peanuts. And there are still fighters that would do it just for the chance to get the fight.

Im .not sure to be honest because lemuix made 1,5 M and they had to go to ppv. Lemieux made more than GGG right ?

Is this 1.5m or 0.5m ? Im .not sure to be honest because lemuix made 1,5 M and they had to go to ppv.

Is this 1.5m or 0.5m ?

Why is everyone so hung up on BJS fighting GGG straight after he wins his title? The guy is still young, just became a world champion and wants to settle in and improve before going after someone like Golovkin. He said he wants a stadium fight in the U.K and MAXIMUM money for the fight. Golovkin was over in the U.K and the teams have spoken. Promoters work 2 3 fights ahead sometimes. If GGG wants the belt so bad he will come to the U.K in June/July when the stadiums are available. He can fight on the Fury undercard at Wembley in front of 80,000 people and make a name for himself in the U.K and worldwide

He says "1 half million..." Could it be 500k? He didn't say 1 AND a half million. If it's 500k then I sorta see his point, but at the end of the day legacy has to count for something. ... ^^^ which is right.....................

Just getting asked for pictures when you are out with your family eating dinner 15yrs after you retired mostly. Legacy is overrated. In particular by guys who've never been punched in the head for money. It's a sport, even if now they're making it more business. That means wanting to find out who is better than the other. Believe it or not that means something to a lot of fighters. Not every fighter is going to be making the kind of money that they believe they deserve because most of the money comes from the people. Nobody values Billy taking on Golovkin enough for him to make so much money. It's simply about if he feels he can win. If not than maybe he is looking to sell his 0 for the right amount.

You talking like I wouldn't be excited at seeing that kind of money, I could pay off my house with that kind of cash No im saying that it's not like it's keeping the whole 1,5M and damn your lucky where I live you can't even look at a house with 600k

After taxes and expenses you probably see around 600k You talking like I wouldn't be excited at seeing that kind of money, I could pay off my house with that kind of cash
