So GGG vs Saunders its a no go - NO venue

[Eastcoast]

"He is a monster, Golovkin is a monster". - Frank Warren

The last promoter who openly said that was Lou DiBella when he refused to make Golovkin/Martinez.


Can't blame them, if I'm Warren I wouldn't make Golovkin/Saunders. Warren wants to build his next Calzaghe/Hatton fighter to jump start his promotion back to life. And in theory, both Saunders & Golovkin should keep winning and the money will be there or greater for next year after BJS has made some easy fights.

He's not using the venue as an excuse. If you listened to the entire interview you would have heard him say "I think he needs a couple more fights before taking on Golovkin. Golovkin is a monster! He's a monster!"

Yeah imo they are gunning to nab the Canelo fight in September out from under Golovkin. They'll try to get a Eubank rematch in the summer which would do good numbers to show golden boy that they bring something to the table (Eubank is the only fight BJS can get other than GGG or Canelo that would net him over a million). I think it's a dangerous fight though for Saunders and would love if Eubank beat him.

I don't think Eubank Jr's IQ is enough for Saunders, but I might be wrong...

Maybe he hopes that Golovkin would not fight at 160 in 2017 anymore...

Been a no go. Hopefully they can finally move on from this fight that wasn't going to happen

"GGG be ducking doe!".

This is how many opponents now?

-Cotto turned him down.

-Canelo turned him down or is at least stalling on getting in the ring with him for now. Lets wait and see how this plays out.

-Martinez/Dibela turned him down although I had no interest in seeing GGG beat on a half paralyzed man anyway.

-Kid Chocolate stated that he wants $10mil to face GGG. Duck!

-Ward said he would fight GGG sometime next year after taking on 2-3 tuneups. Call that one what you want.

-Saunders has changed his stance twice already and Frank Warren just confirmed that he has no interest in making Saunders/GGG at the moment. "He's a monster! Golovkin is a monster!"

... Wait: because of this "Barrera beef", Ward might call GGG again at 168... Just wait one or two days...

[i'm a fun haver]

Why does Frank keep talking about March when Golovkin is fighting in April?
