Comments Thread For: Frank Warren Speaks Out on Saunders' Snafu With Canelo PPV

[The plunger man]

Terry marshes bullitt wasn't accurate enough !!!

[Fetta]

I honestly can't remember the last time Rosado won a fight

[Eastcoast]

How the **** can they wait until October? That's over 10 months from when he won the title. Saunders asked for an exception to fighting Korobov so that he could fight Eubank, then waited 12 months until he fought Andy Lee, and now another 10 months before he defends it. Peter Quillin cursed that damn belt.

It seems we're all agreed here. Whoever he dances with in October, it's going to make his comments about Rosado being a time waste for him and not on his level, complete BS. I'm expecting Bursak to raise his head again. Interesting comment from Warren though, re BJS minimum price for a fight. He obviously thinks he's worth something. What a f***ing joke. It's guys like him that have got the Yanks slating all Brit champs and you can see why in this case.

[Beercules]

What a joke.

Win a title, then milk it gently for as long as possible. Warren devalued Kell's reign with this MO, to where Kell is desperate for a real payday. Not to mention, some respect. Look for Saunders to follow suit. His next big risk fight will be when he can't make middleweight anymore and fights for the heavyweight title.

Dumb decision. Even if gabe does not "do the most" for his career, it at least had him fighting in the US. Has him on a ppv. And on that ppv is this biggest ppv draw right now. Exposure equals money making opportunity.

[JUNIABOY]

Warren, you literally have no more big fights available to you. You said no to all the one with the most minute of interest from the fans...you turned them all down. Who's he going to fight next?...Khurtside? Quillin? Yea right. Either one of those guys would take the belt from him...leaving him with a small paycheck & nothing to show for all that ducking. Everything they've tried to do for BJS's career has backfired, making them look like idiots. It's hard to respect a paper champion.

[Sugar Adam Ali]

Lmao..

"Saunders was never officially part of the card". Well no *****,,, you would have to sign a contract to be "officially on the card"

Dumbest move in boxing in awhile...
Won't fight rosado, even though you should beat the hell out of him and look like a million bucks, and will pass on a canelo fight in December.. Lmao

Bill saunders will fight in October and December.. Lmao, I wanna see these opponents,, guarantee you they won't pay as well as rosado/canelo..

****ing dumbasses

[Sugar Adam Ali]

Honestly,,, there isn't a bigger payday ever than a canelo fight...

Absolute ****** move,,, miss out on not only a career best payday, but also the best payday you will ever have...

Golovkin
Eubanks 2
Ward
Groves
cotto
Jacobs

None of them dudes bringing a paycheck the size of Canelo's
