Comments Thread For: Saunders: I Was Offered 1.5 Million For Golovkin, Not 4 Million

[ИATAS]

I heard it was like 2.5 million, unless he is confusing dollars with pounds. It is still more than he is worth.

I think that's where the $4 million came from a few months ago and a few people ran with it. He was offered over $2 million according to all the sources with knowledge.

It's not going 12 rounds so he's got nothing to worry about..if he wants to get spanked in front of a home crowd so be it. Tired of the Saunders and his blathering, him and hearns have changed their story more times than a suspect on the first 48.

Now saunders just like canelo talking about he need sadvantages to fight ggg. Dont recall many fighters scarred or needing advantages to make or break a fight getting made with the same fighter. I guess he might be one of most feared. Dont know what else to make from these statments.

GGGs team should offer Saunders 20 million dollars. When they pay them, pay them that amount in Nambibian dollars lol

Where did 4 million come from? I've just heard a little over 2 mil.

Don't matter what you heard or read, Saunders is setting the record straight. Now he's lying is he ?

Boxing fan demand won't force Saunders to under sell himself, he is in a pretty position right now, he will be looking at offers from the likes of Eubanks and Jacobs the boxing world does not revolve Gennady Golovkin, the guy is not the future of the sport he is a 34 year with nothing more than an inflated record and a stellar amateur record which nobody has even heard about outside of Boxing Scene and Kazakstan.

Golovkin is just looking for more leverage to tempt Canelo into a fight with the marketing ploy of having all the belts on the line, Saunders and his team aint no dumb shyt's, if the money offered is acceptable the fight will happen, it isn't ppv either side of the Atlantic, never will be either so the likelihood of HBO fronting the money Haymon can't isn't likely, besides Jacobs versus Saunders is a much more exciting fight, as opposed to these guff mismatches GGG keeps fighting.

Saunders doesn't sound too bright. It sounds like he has already written this off as a loss and just wants to be compensated. I am not feeling this fight based on what keeps coming out of Saunders' mouth.

Ok you named two fighters, you really think he's going to get that kind of money for either of those fight much less those two fight combined? Whether he loses to Golovkin or not he has eubanks which I think is smarter to keep in your back pocket in the event you lose to GGG, it makes for a good bounce back win. Also what's this missive about Jacobs vs Saunders being a more exciting match? Is that admission neither one keeps up with Golovkin and should instead fight each other or the other way around?

BJS is a paper champ. I wonder how much fighting the Max Bursaks of the world pays? He sounds like he knows he will get KTFO. As for Lemieux, BJS claims to not know where he is, well fighting on the undercard of this years biggest PPV [so far] is an easy place to find him. It's hard to give this guy any credibility, I can't imagine UK fans liking this guy?

[Trs45]

He could have been offered 15 million and he would still be fighting bursak

Jacobs has been flattened by a lesser puncher than GGG, it isn't an insinuation or missive, it's a fact Jacobs and Saunders who went life and death with novice Eubanks, fights against GGG wouldn't be exciting fights in the least, Jacobs versus Sanders has competitive wrote all over it, as does Jacobs versus Eubanks.

Maybe Saunders would have the fights to come back to but I very much doubt it, GGG would fold his ass and their would be zero demand to see him afterwards.

I don't care what money Saunders gets or is offered, I don't want to see GGG versus any one of Canelo, Saunders or Jacobs the fights just don't excite me, mix those three against each other I believe you have some competitive match ups.

GGG don't have any fights at 160 for me to get excited over, we are talking about a guy who was prepared to go to 168 for Carl Froch, you believe he would have struggled in that fight ? No, me neither. GGG should be campaigning at 168 he's too small for divisions higher and clearly too strong for everyone at 160.

If I was a blow hard GGG fan I would be wanting my man to clear up 168, he has it in him yet clearly their isn't a money fight there unless maybe Ward beats Kovalev and moves back down as a ppv entity, or maybe a catch weight between GGG vs Kovalev to prove who the best in the world is at something like 170-173, what is the weight GGG weighs in at fight night, could it be 170+, yeh I thought so.
