Comments Thread For: Golovkin Warns Saunders: My Goal is The WBO Belt, I Want it Next

[boxingitis]

WBA should enforce his mandatory.

[Deletrious]

BJS should get stripped for inactivity if he doesn't fight in December, but he'll sell his belt to Canelo.

[Dreamking]

Give Saunders the 5 mil he wants, and use Canelo or Zurdo to make up the difference.

[JJRalkman]

So give BJS his 2-3 million or move up. Otherwise he doesn't want the fight and has made it abundantly clear.

You make it sound like throwing millions of dollars around is just that easy.

Will people watch the fight? Will people come to the fight? Will other boxers start demanding these kinds of purses? These are questions promoters and networks should be asking.

But hey let's just throw millions of dollars at unproven commodities.

... This is my guess also...

Then STFU about wanting the belt and move on... Saunders can fight Canelo for that type of money so why would he fight GGG? GGG said he won't fight at 168 because the money isn't right so why should BJS be any different in his selection of opponents?

[Eastcoast]

How would a Golovkin/Saunders ppv even work in the UK? Frank wouldn't use Boxnation would he? I remember him giving a long talk about how he could still use SKY ppv but would it be the same platform Hearn uses?

At the end of the day boxing is a business. If the fight doesn't turn a profit it isn't going to be made. Viewership is at an all time low while purse demands are at an all time high.

They don't need to "throw millions at Saunders or stfu and move on". Saunders is the one who should get over his delusions about how much revenue he actually brings in.

It's laughable that some of you think boxing promoters are endless piggy banks who should blindly throw millions of dollars at fighters who can barely draw a million viewers in primetime network television.

[Mr. Luthor]

Saunders isn't thinking about Golovkin and has no reason too. Saunders has too many viable middleweight options named Alvarez, Eubank Jr, Jacobs and Lemieux.

Of those 4 viable options, only one would be able ti generate close to the revenue that Saunders is demanding. Of course, the promoter for that one just said yesterday that he isnt even a MW
