Comments Thread For: Golovkin vs. Saunders Negotiations To Move Forward

[hitking]

They offered more than $2m, the offer is $3.2 million. BJS isn't going to find that kind of money anywhere and he knows it. Look, he'll either take the fight or he won't, can't fault K2 for trying by offering the guy more money than Golovkin has ever made himself in a fight.

Saunders said $2M.

BJ ain't worth 2 million but his belt may be to GGG? make the fight happen. GGG should fight for 20% of the purse bid just to ge the fight and the KO.

Lara calling him out on Twitter is a legitimate offer to you guys but a $2 million offer is "ridiculous posturing" gotcha....

Don't really know what Lara has to do with anything. Either way, you're missing my point. My point is that I dont understand why GGG is constantly chasing guys that do nothing for him financially, nor do anything for his legacy. Chasing Canelo makea sense. Chasing Billy Joe Saunders is ******. Yes, its a nice lil fight since Billy Joe is now one of the top guys in the division. But beating thia kid does nothing for GGG. Its like he's trying to establish dominance in the middleweight division when no one with half a brain questions his dominance in the middleweight division. Its ******. Ita pointless. And its probably wasting what few prime years he has left.

His belt is even less meaningful than a win over him would be for a supposed elite fighter.

Golovkin has few options in the free world as a commie

The free world shuns cold war warriors like GGG all the time. If GGG doesn't like his options then go back home to that miserable cold dank dreary poor country of oppression and poverty. GGG should take what he can get and like it or quit. No loss there anyway. The fans speak and follow who they want same with the Cable and PPV people. GGG offers nothing. Go cry to *****.

I have no problem with this fight. But 3 mil is pretty substantial. I'm not complaining at all. I just think of they give Saunders 3 mil, it makes any other big fight that much harder to negotiate. **** I prefer this fight over Johnson any day. But if they wanna pay Saunders that crazy fee, more power to them.

For instance, Jacobs is a bigger fight, especially in NY u think Jacobs is gonna take less than 3 mil now? Hell no.

That's funny! As Jacobs and Quillin couldn't fill the arena fighting each other in Brooklyn, their own home town!

I was just informed the $2m offer was deemed not enough by Saunders, that is some serious BS, but if he can cash out now and get a little more all the power to him. I don't know what his PPV sales are like in the UK, but if this fight goes to PPV it's a huge gamble by GGG's team. Still I would buy it.

As far as standing in the division, Jacobs and Saunders are pretty much equals. So a fight against either does about the same for GGG. And that's not much.

Problem is, neither wants to fight GGG. And personally, him chasing them is completely bass ackwards. He can offer them a fight. If they say no, no sweat off his back. He's the champ.

Hmm, overpaying undeserving fighters, distorting negotiations for bigger fights.

Al Haymon would be proud.
