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

So is GGG fighting Colonel Sanders or Gran Torino???

lol Saunders gonna have to think of another excuse now.

[Bronx2245]

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

I would hope so! GGG really doesn't have a lot of options. I would keep the offer the same, agree to go to the UK (they'll love him too), and make Saunders pay in the ring! Remember when Ali was whopping a$$ and saying "what's my name?" I would do something in that order! I don't feel GGG has many options, and I'm not holding my breath for a fight with Canelo either!

i remember when unifying titles was not a good enough excuse to fight over matched guys somehow for ggg it works

this is true and hes unwilling to go up in weight unless its a mega fight and not someone he thinks can win he is kinda boxed in. Sooner or later hes gonna have to move up to keep the interest up unless he plans to work it like tyson and gets big enough fan base that just wants to see him demolish overmatched guys. hes also obviously got to get the canelo fight in as well

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

Looks like thats exactly what he just did.

[bojangles1987]

Why is there any doubt? Of course Golovkin would travel to the UK to whip Saunders. That's not even remotely an issue here.

Like who? There's only been a handful of fighters who have actively campaigned to unify the titles within their division in the past 20 years. Roy Jones, Bernard Hopkins, Kostya Tsyzu, Cory Spinks, and Wladamir Klitschko were about the only ones who had success doing it.

I wonder what saunders next excuse will be? So far he has been offered six times his biggest ever pay day AND in his own back yard.
