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

[soul_survivor]

Golovkin agreed to fight Darren Barker in the UK for just eastern Euro tv rights, 20 ring-side tickets, and a logo on the canvas.

That's fine but what does that have to do with the current situation?

Case in point that he's willing to fight in the UK.

Meh...I wouldn't be surprised to see demands on glove size, ring size and other things come up within the next few weeks.

At this stage, I have a feeling Billy Hoe Saunders will take a dive if the fight happens because he clearly doesn't want the fight.

glove size....? you mean the kind of gloves they wear. glove size is standard. once in a blue moon will the size of the gloves change from the standard. pacquiao - margarito wore 8 oz for a fight at 150 for example.


they're 160 lbers. there will be no controversy over the size of the gloves. gloves typically move from 8 oz to 10 oz once guys weigh above WW [anything above 147 lbs.]

I think he was referring to Glove padding type more than size. No Horsey hair, only the softest, silkiest fibers enriched with Aloe and Vitamin E LOL

The barker fight never happened and it was along time ago, back when GGG was not as important a property to HBO and the division as he is now.

I have no doubt GGG would be more than willing to travel for the right money but would HBO be willing to part with a prime time slot for a fight in the UK?
