Comments Thread For: Gennady Golovkin Willing to Face Billy Joe Saunders in The UK?

Doesn't care who he fights and where, as long it's not that good of a fighter.

Yep........

I fear Billy would be taken to bits and never be the same .I would rather see him fight Eubank again and maybe even a third fight , he should leave GGG alone as GGG ruins fighters.

I think that Saunders is after Eubank Jr, tbh...

[-PBP-]

damn...if the plan was to make Lil G an offer he would refuse, I guess it's safe to say that it's not working

I give Lil G hell on here...IMO rightfully so!!....but I will admit, there's a group of fighters who want NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with him....shame on those dudes for calling themselves FIGHTERS...smh

I wonder what will be Billy Hoe's next escape stunt?!?....maybe he'll fake an injury....it's obvious that he doesn't REALLY want this fight

This fight smells like a dive in the making.

-Billy Hoe already admitted he can't win.

-Since Billy Hoe knows he can't win he wants to get paid handsomely.

- He wants the fight in the UK where he will get a larger split.

- Once be cashes in he dances for a few rounds then quits after he feels GGGs power

Anything to get the belts doe!

When was Groves destroyed , only by Froch .Beat one decent American lost to another.....destroyed ...what you on ?

Groves is a loser. Big mouth and backs up nothing. Froch stopped the powder puff soft flame carrot top Groves twice. The average Badau Jack beats Groves in Vegas another loss for the downward spiralling weak big mouth Brit with nothing to offer now but losses. Groves actually has no career at this time and is more a Matt Hatton type of pug.

I can't doubt GGG would be willing to fight anyone anywhere so as long as BJS is being for real & won't just throw in more **** later on so this should be doable.

That said even as a cat who's a BJS fan I feel like he's just goofing around with his new status in the game as a guy the big names will periodically make offers towards. So unless this deal includes his balls being carried on a silver platter held by a midget in a waiter uniform during his ring entrance this fight is a no go.

Saunders said he would take less if GGG came to the UK. If I'm GGG, I call his bluff...ASAP!

Billy Joe Saunders has told world middleweight No.1 Gennady Golovkin he needs to make him a better offer or agree to fight him in England.

WBA-IBF champion Golovkin's team last week made Saunders an offer believed to be £2.2million to face the Kazakh knockout machine in a world title unification clash...

"I'm not ruling out fighting Golovkin next, I've got to talk to my manager and Frank Warren about it," Saunders said. "I will fight him but I would like it to be in England and if they can do that I would take a bit less, but they have to give me something.

Kudos to GGG for trying to make the best stay-busy fight possible. Saunders is a better stay-busy option that Johnson. Don't have a ton of interest in either fight. But kudos to him for seeking out the best possible middleweight.

Hopefully he gets his fight with with Canelo at some point this year. If not, I think its time for him to throw in the towel on whatever it is he's trying to accomplish at 60. Personally, I don't understand what he's trying to accomplish. He's already the unquestioned top dawg there. If he doesn't get Nelo this year. May be time for him to rearrange some priorities and goals.

This is the worst title unification mismatch since...well..GGG vs Lemieux

Now: £2.2million it's about $3.2million... Does it mean that he would take only about $2.5million???

[soul_survivor]

How well would Golovkin/Saunders do in London? Would it sell out O2 and be ppv?

Well Saunders is with Warren, who has his own boxing channel, which is essentially PPV anyway.

Now Saunders has done very good numbers at various arenas across he UK, so I think he'd get a solid showing at the 02, although the MEN in Manchester is a safer bet.
