Saunders is at the hight of his marketability right now, similar to when Kid Chocolate was undefeated and in demand....
But Peter Quillin avoided GGG (Vacated title, for Koborov no less) and got beat by Jacobs... He's not likely to see that payday potential again in his career...
Saunders is in the same boat today...
He has a title and is an undefeated champion, he might not ever make as much money for a fight in his career, then he would now against GGG...
So why take the chance of getting knocked off, losing the title an undefeated record and all the money that comes with that vs GGG... Not to mention the reputation taking a hit...
Say what you want about Lemieux, but no one is questioning his heart or his reputation... He did get paid and is respected.... He might get paid again too..
Agenda's aside...
Saunders vs Eubank Jr II is easily twice the fight that Saunder vs Golovkin is, so what are you talking about?
I didn't write this post to chest thump GGG.... Quillin made a huge mistake in a similar situation... His buzz is gone, as is his reputation, not to mention 7 figures vs GGG....
Saunders rolling the dice is risky business.... A rematch vs Eubank Jr would still be in play after a GGG fight, regardless of the outcome.... But should Saunders lose to anyone beforehand, that ship has sailed away...
Saunders walked away from over 3 million he would've taken vs GGG....
That fight if/when it takes place would be a Stadium fight in England.... (Should they agree to fight there) Saunders would be in a nice bargaining position for the Euro PPV... That fight has money all over it....
Saunder vs Eubank Jr II is a rematch of a boring fight that excited very few...
General Scipio, have you had to much wine today ??? Saunders will not get double (7 million) to fight Eubank again.... Should he lose, what little glitter he has will be gone with the wind, as will his 3+ million vs GGG...
GGG is popular and has a significant buzz.... Outside of Canelo, what Middleweight or Super Middleweight brings in more ca$h than GGG ???

Do you know what you're talking about? Saunders and Eubank have been mostly undercard fighters in the UK and neither have earned $500k for a fight yet. We're to believe you that Saunders/Eubank is suddenly worth over $4mill? Lol...

No it isn't. Saunders earned less than 1million vs CEJ in the first fight.
