Lee just commented he'll take who's ever the highest bidder.

“I have to win on Sunday night [England time], but Golovkin is a great champion,” Lee said. “If I come through, I’ll fight Jacobs, Golovkin or Alvarez.

“Whatever’s the easiest fight to make, whatever is the best money fight, the best situation. My attitude is the best fight the best. I’ve fought in America many times, and I’m prepared that if I win, I’ll go back to America.”

I actually feel pretty comfortable with the idea that Golovkin/HBO will beat out Jacobs/Haymon, only Alvarez could take it out of GGG's hands. Still think Saunders might take it from Lee though.

160 starting to heat up, got some good fighters coming through and great fights to be made. I think Lee is going to stop BJS late after Saunders tires and his movement begins to suffer, round or two in it before stoppage.

Loser can fight Willie Monroe Jr.

I don't think HBO will outbid Haymon. Aside from the Lemuix fight GGG's opponents don't really make much money. And I doubt HBO will do a GGG vs Lee PPV just to turn right around and have to do another GGG vs Canelo one. PPV is the only way Lee would be able to make money fighting GGG IMO

I hope Lee wins and A sides the **** out of GGG and/or Jacobs lol

And now we'll see if Nelson/K2 are willing to pay up for good fight or continue with the excuse everyone is ducking GGG. But Lee better focus on Saunders.

I don't think they'd need to do ppv. If HBO wants the Golovkin/Alvarez ppv to be a success, they need to invest into a quality fight for Golovkin leading up to September. Also keep in mind, Golovkin draws a strong gate, where Jacobs doesn't. Golovkin/HBO may even offer to take the fight in the UK/Ireland to take full advantage of European tv revenues.

I'm sure there's a sense of urgency by K2 not to allow Jacobs/Haymon to win the bidding as then they'll never see the WBO title. That could mean GGG takes short money to get the fight.

Agree on both accounts.
