Saunders: Money is negotiable, but no fight unless Golovkin comes to the UK

[Boxfan83]

They probably just have it on hold... UFC also has the garden on hold waiting to see if they can do a show there.

Don't think the money will be the same if they do it there... which of course will cause things to break down

I thought they couldnt do MMA in NY?

I can already see the next Saunders quote; ""Sure he agreed to fighting in the UK, but now i want more money."

[Daddy T]

I don't see why GGG would not be willing to go if Saunders really was willing to take less money. But I fear that by being willing to take less he doesn't mean less than the 3.2 million dollars he has been offered he means less than the 4 million pounds that he wants. So basically he now has two obstacles ... more money plus fight in UK. Even with all that it sounds like there is a slight ray of hope.

BJS is full of crap. First he says he can make a lot of money fighting Eubank JR in the UK (wrong).
Now he's saying that because he's the champion the fight needs to be on his terms (he's lying, he's just using his leverage bc GGG wants to unify)
And he's saying that he can get the Canelo fight made with ease which would pay him more - flat out bull****. If that was true he wouldn't even consider GGG's offer.

The fight being in UK is both good and bad. Yes, it would build Golovkin's popularity in Europe, but his team would have to take a bigger loss if the fight is in the UK because revenue stream is lower.

The offer of 3m is based on K2 thinking that they can make up some of the losses by staging another unification fight at MSG.

Alright its getting closer.

Saunders wants his fans and home field for fight. No issue with it. I like uk fight crowds and think itll big

"Members of my team are well connected with Oscar De La Hoya so the Canelo fight can happen with ease - I would probably make more money from it too."

^^^ Which I stated yesterday...

Meh, if he could make it then he would and I'm not convinced Canelo would offer more than the 3.2 mill. But obviously Canelo is a much more attractive fight for him as it's a very winnable fight for saunders

They can't, but they got a hold on MSG in case they do allow it. They're waiting on some ruling

I seriously doubt he gets more money. He certainly would'nt get the fight in the UK, and he would probably have to deal with a CW. In all honesty though, if he fights Canelo, I would be cool with that anyways, as it helps clean up the division. As long as he is trying to unify and not hiding out like a little *****, I'm good with it.
