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

[Chollo Vista]

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

Yep, we'll see.

But if BJS is in fact given 6 mil to fight GGG when Jacobs merely asked for 3-5 mil, I'm calling bullsht.

Because Jacobs is the superior boxer, harder puncher and more proven fighter of the two whereas BJS has gone on record saying he needs 18 months before he could fight GGG and literally telling him to fcuk off.

I agree Jacobs is the more appealing fight though they come with comparable resumes, and Saunders is a title unification. So if they got 6m for Saunders, 3-5m for Jacobs is fair. But I'm not buying 6m for a second. Like I said, 3m for that fight max

He probably got a 2 million offer. There is no way in hell he is worth 6 million.

I mean, basically Saunders is still just a prospect, has no real following etc. I don't even think he considers himself a champ.

His value is in that belt, but not enough to lose millions

Same to you as well.

Saunders should take the fight if the money is good.

If he loses, so what, nobody expects him to win and he's still young too and can come again. He might have a belt but nobody considers him THE middleweight champ anyway, so he might as well use that belt as a bargaining tool to make a good wedge of money.

To be fair i don't think it's a bad fight as far as the MW division goes. Saunders has a belt, undefeated, never been knocked down, his resume isn't that bad and just beat Andy Lee who was considered a very decent MW. It's not exactly a strong division but Saunders is one of the better fighters there for sure. He's also not easy to hit and catch clean and has a very good chin so even though he probably loses, he might come out of it looking better than people think he is.

NSB accountants at work again, hoping Saunders ain't fighting GGG and use the not enough money excuse.

What kind of boxing fans are ya'll?

You think that guy is worth $5 Million? What did he get in his last fight? 250k?

What about wanting to fight the best in your division and trying to unify titles?

That guy holds a belt and gets a pass because he isnt getting crazy money?

GGG seems to be the absolute monster for all of you if you hold him to such standards that he will blow out everyone in his division and he basically has to pay retirement funds for everyone he faces.

It's pretty clear that GGG will pay him the most money he can make and by beating GGG he would turn into a huge star.

Ggg will beat saunders easily if they fight now..jacobs will provide better challenge to ggg.saunders should take his time before facing ggg.
