There is absolutely no way they offered that much. Zero chance.

Only way i see this working is the fight being in England and BJS taking the majority of the split.

Saunders isn't getting 6 million or even half of that to fight anyone. It makes no sense on any level. Amazing how people take the most trite scraps of info and run with it.

I meant the klitschskos are Ukrainian and he's a kazakh. My fault. Point being Russians aren't shelling out money for that crap.

Not so fast, GGG is a HUGE star in Russia. So actually Russian cash may not be that far fetched.

I didn't think this fight had the smallest chance of being made.

They did give Lemieux $1.5 million...

I could imagine a $2-3 million purse, but $6 million? No freaking way. I'm assuming that's either:

a) Exaggerated
b) GGG took a huge purse reduction (why?)
c) Someone rich decided they love GGG and want to see him fight (doubt it)

Saunders should take this unless he can get a Canelo fight. I don't see any other way he makes this kind of money ever again.

Wow 6 million......

Ppv?

GGG has been managed smart..they havent took risk..and he's still on his way to being a man with all the belts...any money that they had left over they went in big for belts instead of paying lara or someone like that..i dont like it, i wont every really respect the resume, but it is wat it is.

[tiliheels]

really sucks for andy lee huh? he went out and put up the 2nd most feline effort by a champ in 2015 (wlad 1st)...this could have been him making millions that he didnt deserved just bc ggg knows he can run through him...

andy should look in the mirror at himself and wait until a big shot opens up and then take it..

Lara is not a middleweight, he hasn't beat any either.
Who wants to watch GGG/Lara? There is NO MONEY in the fight.

i've been informed that ggg's resume has several guys who were coming from 154 on it...so that excuse doesnt work....and also ggg is not a 154lber and has never beaten any, but that didnt stop u all from trying to make floyd come out of retirement to fight a mw at 154....
oh btw, your casual, excuse making, agenda pushing, one sided ass is now excused
