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

[UNBIASED BOXING]

Golovkin is a light heavyweight come fight night, which division are you referring to as his ?

No he isn't? Light heavyweight is 175 lbs (did you know that?).

Golovkin was 170 lbs vs Lemieux and 170 lbs vs Monroe, on fight night. He has never even reached 175 lbs. Any more bullchit you wanna spout?

Light Heavyweight is anything from 168 to 175.

Golovkin weighs around 170 lbs on fight night. So do many SWWs. GGG was 169 vs Lemieux. Canelo is usually around 175.

Most LHWs are cruiserweights on fight night, btw.

Golovkin is one of the few modern MWs who would still have been a MW back in the days when weigh ins happened on fight day.

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.

Great post Scott, have some green.

It isn't, British fans get behind their fighters. If BJS fought Eubank Jr. again, he could make £1 Million+ with a world title on the line, and it's a much more winnable fight and another fight that gets his name out there. After that his purses would all be around £1 million mark from Sky.

Fights against Quillin, Jacobs with the US and UK money for Saunders would give him that sort of pocket. Hell a rematch with Andy Lee would be easy and a decent purse after a Eubank Jr. rematch. I think people underestimate the marketing machine that Sky Sports is in the UK when they get behind fighters.

BJS would get smashed by Golovkin, let's be honest. He isn't going to get smashed for the same amount of money that he could get elsewhere.

BJS is with Frank Warren, so his fights are screened on Boxnation, not Sky.

Sky Sports will report on them, of course, but the Sky hype machine won't be plugging Bill the way they do with Eddie Hearn's boys.

I guess if his fans are cool with seeing GGG fight C/D class fighters??? We should be also.

GGG ain't ever getting in the boxing Hall of Fame with this shty resume. And like Bonds. No one Is gonna respect any records he breaks. He will go down as having one of the WORST boxing resume of any true champion...

Unifying the MW division will get Golovkin into the BHF, first ballot, no doubt about that. And it will make him one of the biggest names in boxing, world-wide.

That may not translate into big HBO PPV numbers, as most American fight fans seem to be more into UFC and ethnic loyalty than boxing nowadays, but so what?

The Klit bros did pretty well for themselves without being on HBO PPV.

Was it Sergey Kovalev who said GGG drops light heavies in sparring or maybe it was Krusher Kovalev ? I don't recall.

What chance has Saunders who went life and death with Eubanks in his 10th fight in his first fight over eight rounds not even a year ago against GGG ? It's pathetic to even want that fight as a fan, in fact it is bizarre. Who gives a toss about unifying divisions, don't we all watch boxing to see exciting match ups ? Let me guess you're a Kell Brook fan too aren't you ?

Damn it give me the money and anyone can get it...

I don't know about that? Against Murray at his 30 day weigh in he was at 172. And that's when he was well into training...
