Comments Thread For: Saunders Wants More Money: I Can Beat Gennady Golovkin!

[eco1]

LOL. $2 million ain't enough??? That's close to what dudes get to fight Floyd.


Billy Hoe Saunders bout to babysit this title for a long ass time.

the word is it is 2.2 pounds, close to 3.2 mill

i rate this fellah as fringe at the moment, he is unbeaten yes but only has a few fights since the olympics and fighters these days seem to want a title shot as part of turning pro. he has beaten kid eubank in a arguable win but still a win and his latest fight was also an improvement however, lemmy knocks him out and galovkin beats him to a pulp at this stage. too early and already showing the inevitable signs of greed. good luck with that.

Saunders, Don't Let Anything But Fear Get In The Way Of GGG

Just another clown making money first priority. Who is Andy Lee? A foot shorter and easy to hit. Ho make the same money fighting others then. You have one belt; GGG has the rest, Canelo has one. If you want to fight another smaller guy, see if Canelo gives you the time of day. Saunders can't beat Lemieux!!!! I say GGG needs to give this still anything he wants to make the fight, knock him cold, take his belt, then get ready to knock out Canelo in the Fall. Saunders??? Lol. This guy will look just like Lemieux if he climbs in with GGG.

That sounds like more than GGG (the A-side) has ever made in a fight.

Sometimes you take a loss on the front end to make a bigger profit on the back end.

If Golovkin wins the WBO it gives him slightly more leverage against Canelo and also makes that fight for the undisputed MW championship - meaning more money in the pot for PPV.

Interesting point of view

GGG just sold out MSG and did 20,000 while the lee-saunders super fight did around 5,000 and was postponed multiple times because of bad ticket sales. why would the fight be in the uk?

[DonJunker]

...and he calls himself a "champion". It's shameful and pathetic but at least he is honest.

[DonJunker]

It's also a sport. Calling yourself a "champion" without wanting to prove you're the best is poor sportsmansship and says alot about the lack of warrior mentality. As a fan I don't care about the business side...that should be dealt with behind closed doors.

The Brits are very selective even with their own fighters it seems. If they didn't buy Saunders-Lee they will definitely not buy Saunders-GGG. Brits don't pay to watch their own fighters dispatched. Therefore, it's obvious that Saunders is looking for the payday of his life, at MSG eventually. But I don't think that GGG will sell out MSG against Saunders, tbh.

BJ deserves a big payday for risking a GGG fight in UK

GGG has to come to the UK for a BJ fight. GGG has no American fan base. Give BJ a big purse for a Wembly showdown but make the undercard a special event also. Include Brook and Khan and george groves and DeGale. Put Hughie Fury and Joshua on the card. England deserves a big boxing show in Wembley in front of 80,000 toothless brits.
