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

[fanofslug]

No doubt in my mind GGG would go to the UK to fight him. This is another way for Billy Hoe Saunders to avoid the fight.

First it was the money, they made an offer he can't refuse so he can't complain about the money.

So he creates the location barrier KNOWING that GGG has the Garden reserved for the April fight.


Don't fall for Billy Hoe's trap. K2 should call his bluff yet again to make him further look like a clown.

Exactly. I read the article and it all just seemed like waffle. First he goes on about it's just not the money, but securing his own terms and that he'll only fight in the UK, then he talks about making more money fighting Canelo:

"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."

Soon as GGG accepts he'll say the money isn't enough to justify the risk. He'll only ever agree to fight GGG if he includes a clause in the contract guaranteeing him certain victory. He's a joke.

I see no reason why Golovkin would reject fighting in the UK.

He would utterly destroy Saunders so what difference does it make? Be it a beat down in the US or a beat down in the UK, the result is just the same.

In fact, it may even expose him to another audience and expand his fan base.

Exactly. Plus they have the best fans over there, and the hype would be huge.

I don't get why Saunders would want the fight in the UK. Why would you want to get put face down ass up in front of family and friends and fellow countrymen..

Saunders should just reject the fight outright for now, or take a lot of cash and go to America and get beheaded

Too good to be true is precisely what it is. Saunders will find a reason to avoid the fight. Of course, GGG should travel. Disregard the morons blabbing about "A-side". Collecting this belt is more important...

Yes please! Set it up somewhere in Manchester!

Fixed it for ya!

Why 8s team Golovkin even entertaining g this idiot? Not even that trinket he's carrying is worth all this crap. Im definitely not high on a Johnson fight but at this point, Saunders thinks he's De La Hoya, Mayweather, Pacquiao and Cotto all rolled into one.

Nobody here knows Saunders or GGG well enough for it to be huge.

If he can get the fight there, then so be it

He probably hopes the fight goes to a decision

HBO may not want him fighting out of North America considering theyre trying to turn him into a star in the USA. I'm thinking Saunders is requesting GGG travel in hopes it kills the fight for now.

Honestly, if I was BJS or his promoter, I'd be looking to milk an easy defense or two first. Why not?
