Saunders not on undercard last night. Dumb move.

I was surprised myself. Unless he wasn't in shape. At least he's now fighting on the undercard of Tyson-Wlad. I don't agree that he would probably have ended up fighting Canelo afterwards though. We don't even know what Canelo's intentions are. And that would be a very dangerous fight for him.

At the end of the day he would be almost guaranteed to be facing Canelo if he had fought and won impressively on that undercard. STUPID STUPID STUPID. Totally agree^^^^:hail:

Dumbest move in awhile Pass on a six figure payday vs a cherrypick on a canelo undercard,with a 7 figure payday vs canelo later in the year..... Wtf

It was a stupid move. He said he has nothing to gain from beating Rosado. Yes, probably true in terms of resume as Rosado loses to any decent fighter but he will probably fight someone on Rosado's level or below on October 29th anyway in front of an audience that already know him. Exactly. He's probably going to fight someone as bad or worse than Rosado next anyway. Might as well get some name recognition in the U.S. out of it. In front of a huge audience.

he gets nothing by beating rosado, thats stepping down in class Are you serious ? They offered a guy with like nine losses to adhere himself to the Mexican fan base to grab himself the May date and he bottled it, dude must seriously be lacking in belief. This is all irrelevant anyway, BJ Flounders has far more important matters to attend to like filming more men getting naked in their cars, the weird fück.

He could have been exposed to a new market and even though Rosado isn't much good, it's probably better having his name on your record than some eastern european factory worker which he will probably fight next month.

Warren always backs his guys publicly (until they leave him) but I think behind closed doors he would've thought Saunders an idiot for turning it down. They still have nothing decent lined up, GGG-Jacobs in talks, Eubank so unpredictable, Canelo going in a different direction. He isn't even a financial draw where he can go fight a bum and people will care. I get the feeling that Warren thinks Oscar is bringing in his fighters to be sacrificial lambs for Canelo. And he resents that. It's probably true to an extent but if you can make big money for it then what's the problem?

idk why people said he ducked gabes sorry ass.. but yea bidness wise hes an idiot for that

He gets a showcase win in America and it sets up a big money fight with Canelo. He needs to get his name out there to the U.S. audience in order to build some buzz here. good point bussinesswise

Golden Boy Promotions served him a juicy opportunity on a silver platter.

Agreed, taking a fight on an Canelo undercard is actually a great career move. Specially fighting a good, exciting, though limited fighter in Rosado. Its a win-win. The whole time during the telecast they keep mentioning Rosado is never in a dull fight.....BJS would get the same type of respect and probably would have a nice KO reel of King Rosado. What a shame they don't think like true businessmen. That's why there are so few Pacquiaos, Money Mays, De La Hoyas, Tysons despite many of these fighters are very skilled. Great point you made!
