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

[Scipio2009]

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?

Saunders vs Eubank Jr II (with a world title on the line) will likely put that kind of money into Saunders' pocket (especially if Showtime Internation gets involved), and don't forget that Jacobs-Quillin did split $3m on their fight (without a UK broadcaster being overly invested in the fight).

There's no reason for Saunders to take short money on any fight at this point.

BJS has already proven to be a dishonest fellow. Hard to believe anything he says now.

Golovkin lucky to make the 5 mil against Saunders. No way Saunders was getting 5 that meant golovkin getting 10. Some fantasy Sanchez spins like he did with Ward. So he can say they ducked GGG. Lucky Ward has e mails to prove Sanchez lies

Top fighters when money is huge rarely duck anyone. They know it's life altering $ public has to demand GGG offers shown. How many more B abdC level fighters can he add up defenses on. Hagler had hearns leanard Duran etc GGG wade?

Let's be honest here Loeffler low balls fighters, **** to show how ****ty promoters are look what Odh did to pepe. He just won his belt didnt make one voluntary defense. Mainly cause odl fed him to ggg to save canelo but pepe just won it and im sure (maybe wrong) he didn't get much. Saunders is doing what Loeffler is doing in reverse and thats starting high n not accepting the ****ty offer like pepe. This is the hurt game, get your money, dam commentors here ain't gonna change your **** bag in 20 years.

He's robbing the SHT out of his own guy even. GGG has only made more then $1 million I believe twice? Maybe even only once? He pays the cans GGG fights an average of 100k.

GGG is saleing out stadiums and Loeffler is laughing all the way to the bank calling GGG a sucker!

Saunders had 2 offers on the tale, and both offered more than K2.

At least that's what I heard.

He mentioned 4 offers..... the 2 that paid more than GGG were Eubank Jnr, and Canelo. Not sure if true, but it was an interview with BJS/Frank a couple of weeks back.

Yeah right, hey I also got an offer in my desk...see anyone can say whatever crosses your mind

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

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.

are dismissing Jacobs for that KO loss? That was Dmitry Pirog who KOd Jacobs...he wouldve been the Champ today had he not gotten injured.

I'm saying Jacobs dont take a solid punch so well and we're talking about GGG here a guy widely regarded and touted to make a considerable impression at 168 should he ever muster the cojones to challenge himself.

Neither Jacobs, Saunders or Canelo have an hope in hell against this cat.
