World Boxing News spent time in Las Vegas for the Manny Pacquiao fight over the weekend and learned of some important news regarding the future of Billy Joe Saunders.
Completely ratified and one hundred percent correct information was passed on that Saunders is considering switching promoters.
WBN heard Saunders has a MASSIVE $30 MILLION-PLUS OFFER in his possession. And that his long-standing ties with current handler allegedly have come under threat.
Who the deal is from remains a mystery at this time. WBN understands it could be a significant game-changer for Saunders.
The WBO super-middleweight champion and formerly belt holder at 160 pounds, now has a huge decision to make on his next move.
Lucrative fights are in the offing in what is a packed division. Battles against the top names are hanging in the balance.
It’s no secret Saunders has been calling out the biggest players for some time, whilst consistently being linked to a rematch with Chris Eubank Jr.
Everything will come to a head over the next few days. WBN believes an announcement from Saunders is on the cards for next week.
Can't see Top Rank paying that money, don't think they could afford it.
Don't see PBC paying that money, his main fanbase is UK and I don't think its worth it to PBC.
Only makes sense for Dazn, they have the opponents, the money and Eddie Hearn's driving the bus, taking Warren's biggest name after Fury (who's basically Arum's man now anyway) would just be the cherry on top.
So shut him out of a fight with his fighter then sign him to make him fight other fighters in his stable in order to fight the fighter he originally wanted to fight. Sounds familiar. BJS is on the wrong side of the street
Clearly it is different rules when it comes to Brits and Eddie Hearn, nobody will complain if that is what he is trying to do:nonono:

What street? Only PBC junkys talk like that. Everybody else can get along and work together.
Eddie Hearn For SURE...not sure about $30 Million though BUT clearly the plan would be to get BJS and start building towards Callum Smith vs BJS which I'm sure can be HUGE in the UK
Eddie was speaking HIGHLY of BJS last week about how he should be a BIGGER STAR...
Couldn't it be PBC though? They have Jermall and a lot of super middleweights
Putting Jermall in there with Billy is career suicide so I don't think so.
It's DAZN and HearnS I bet. Callum Smith, GGG, Canelo, Jacobs, Andrade...all these fights can happen
Could it be Top Rank/ESPN?
He was with Arum in Kazakhstan a couple of weeks ago. Arum said he thinks Saunders beats Canelo and GGG and seems fond of him, not to mention some Warren fighters have deals with ESPN already. It’d seem a hell of a lot of money though when they have no real top middleweights or super middleweights to match him with.
If it's Matchroom then it would explain Hearn being so coy about recieving an offer from Warren for Saunders v Smith and being tentative when asked about sending a counter offer.
Saunders is loyal but Warren seems unable to secure him the big fights and Saunders is running out of time.
I know Saunders turned down Andrade but that fight was all wrong for him, and if the nasal spray thing wasn't his fault but somebody in his team then I understand him not fighting Andrade for a mandatory split when 6 months earlier he was on the champion split and didn't lose his belt on the ring.
If he's going to PBC then maybe they can make the Eubank/Charlo fights. If he goes with Top Rank then I guess he's looking at other super middleweight options.
Christ, the fallout if it is DAZN. Thatll mean Warren been making a big song and dance about sending offers to Gallagher and Hearn for BJS vs Smith, and the whole time everyone involved knew BJS and MTK were talking to DAZN, behind Warrens back. **** will hit the fan.
BJS is a snake like that though. Who did he screw out of a payday last year when he faked an injury to “fight GGG”

PBC don't recognize the WBO belt so that's useless signing since they won't call it a unification for Plant or Benavidez
Maybe toprank wants to add another champion to its roster and they already have his buddy signed
Saunders is one of the most boring fighters in boxing and giving him 30 mill is stupid lol.
He barely deserves 3 mill..
Him and his punkass son. I remember his son punched a fighter in the balls during thr weigh in and saunders thought it was funny. I would have knocked saunder’s out and his btch ass son too.

Surely this can’t be true😂😂
I’d only give Saunders 30m on 30 fight deal at minimum.
