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

[SteveM]

i feel like im the only one with no desire to see this fight

Yeah well, if I have to square it all up >>> then "no". By Golovkins own admission he has 3 more years in the game, I say maybe less. Assuming he fights 3 times a year then that means 9 more fights. I'd rather not see one of those fights wasted on Khurtsidze - but it should be a better fight than Wade or Monroe was.

Totally agree with SteveM

"Make a fight with Khurtsidse who is WBO's no. 1 behind Saunders. Beat him and become Saunder's mandatory."

[petegrif]

JJRalkman is absolutely right. It is a business and the numbers have to work or the promoters can't make the fight.

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?

Boxnation do ppv's but they cost more than a months subscription to the channel. One month subscription to boxnation costs Ł11, which is less than a sky ppv ticket. That's how most fans watch big fights on BN, if they don't have a permanent subscription. What Hearn has over Warren is the ability to sell his ppv fights to casual fans via sky sports news, which everybody in the UK watches. Boxnation is for commited boxing fans only. But if GGG is a hit with UK fans vs Brook, then a fight between he & BJS. would basically sell itself, so it would be do able on BN, imo.

Is bjs not ready like the rest of them? Only brook was ready!
GGG has only fought bums if what we hear is to be believed so why aren't these 16o guys ready for him?

Golovkin should forget about Saunders.
Billy Joe has a belt and he's gonna milk it for all he can. Fans know GGG is the best MW out there. He can't afford to wait on Saunders cause time aint on his side. It's time to test the waters at Super MW.

I think the only possibility GGG fights at 168 if people, even his critics acknowledge he's the best at 160.

Because his critics make out they think nelo is above him

I guess nobody told him Saunders is facing Cameltoe yet, and if he wants the WBO to go with his pretty green belt he's gonna have to accept less than 50/50 and a catch weight.

Guess you must have missed the fact Canelo said this 154lbs fight is the last fight he has there before moving up to 160lbs guess you're not in touch as you thought.

Canelo will have no right to dictate terms and If anything it looks likely that BJS might get stripped.

BJ is facing Cameltoe for the 160 belt next up.

Even if Flounders is stripped the top two ranked wbo boys would fight Cameltoč would then make the winner an offer. I

f you believe the WBO do not want Cameltoe in receipt of their belt you're truly an idiot. Flounders ain't gonna be stripped for shyt.

Cameltoč vs GGG ain't even competitive. I wish he'd just move up already, he's wasting his career taking step aside fees and beating on nobodies no one cares about, if he truly cared about legacy he'd neither step aside for anything he'd move up to beat the top three at SM and eventually face Ward at 168 cw. If he won all them id have him in my p4p top ten and a nailed on ATG. He won't move up though, I don't think he has the belief, Jack,DeGale snd Zurdo are easy pickings.
