Comments Thread For: Saunders Open To Golovkin, Says His Team Will Decide

[casheddie]

Seeing that GGG and Kovalev are single handed the biggest fighters of HBO's stable. I assume they gave him a pretty good multi fight deal and more money for purses. I hope deal they offered BJS was for a middleweight tournament. cause he def doesnt deserve 6 mil.

[HeroBando]

Maybe GGG or people from his team are willing to give up a % of their earnings to make the fight? I don't know.

I just find it strange for BJS to just make up these numbers.

They'd have to give up 100% of Gggs purse and take out an extra loan to cover that

But how do you know this if you haven't even seen the contracted offer?

Do you have any kind of insider information to support this or go against what the man himself, BJS, has suggested?

Unless you're actually with Team Golovkin, until we here from Team Golovkin that says otherwise, this is what we have to go with as truth.

All I'm saying is, its a super implausible figure considering Gggs purse history, his recent ppv etc. They'd have to sell over 200k just to cover Bjs supposed purse, if Ggg was fighting for free

Well there's gotta be numbers that we aren't seeing. Gotta be.

BJS has no motive whatsoever to lie about these numbers.

Dunno what you can take from that tweet. Usually better to use common sense. At best its some package deal of 3m guarantee, 1m in projected ppv upside, and 2 more HBO dates 1m each. Even that's far fetched

Well, I didn't see one thing from Warren, Team Golovkin or BJS mentioning anything about package deals.

What's your role in the GGG-Saunders negotiation deal? Sounds like you have insider knowledge or is this you just trying to make sense of the deal while having zero knowledge on what's actually being negotiated?

If I'm being honest, until I hear otherwise, I have to take Billy Joe Saunders word over HeroBando.

And none of those guys have said "Ggg made an offer of 6m for a single fight" either, Saunders included. When there's ambiguity, you usually discard the totally implausible option

Out of everyone that has their hands in the negotiations, the only numbers mentioned is this

@brendan_chubz may be but I'll be 6 mill heavy

Just this. Nothing about package deals, etc. Just this.

That's what I'm going with until otherwise is stated.

Whatever, we'll see how it shakes out. I'm gonna go with common sense for now
