BJS calling Golovkin out again on twitter..

[Jc8804]

Saunders is a lame duck.

[boliodogs]

The last time Saunders was offered a fight with GGG for what sounded like a fair money offer he turned it down and demanded an unreasonable amount of money. If he really wants to fight and not just twitter talk and will fight for the amount he is worth and not double or triple what he is worth then he will get the fight. He has the one belt GGG doesn't have so he is first in line. Jacobs is a great fight for GGG as well. I am guessing that whoever between Jacobs and Saunders is the first to agree to reasonable terms and actually sign the contract will get the fight.

We learn't from the Eubank's talk is cheap.

Just spoke to @frankwarren_tv who told me he's aiming for a February date for his fighter @bjsaunders_ against @GGGBoxing.

Seems too soon considering @GGGBoxing aiming for late Nov. or Dec. date, but Warren says "the way he knocks guys out, he can be ready."

It'll be crazy if Golovkin fights Danny Jacobs in December then Saunders in February.

I recon Mar/Apr is apt if he fights in late Nov or early Dec..
break until End of year & 8-10 weeks of training would take it to mid Mar

But if HBO doesn't have a fixed date(Nov/Dec) & if GGG-Jacobs goes to purse bids & someone outbids HBO(very likely) then it might not even be on HBO

First he said he could do November now it's Feb. In a couple of months it'll be 'we think it should wait until summer so we can do a big stadium fight'.

Saunders hasn't fought in a year and is booked into the MEN for the 29th of Oct...with TBA. Yet we're supposed to believe he'll fight GGG in Dec?

He just posted:



Is this because he knows the WBA has now mandated Jacobs?

Yes and no; Saunders knows that Team Golovkin is under the gun with the WBA coming, but the Brook fight also confirmed obvious holes in Golovkin's game (power isn't really all that murderous, Golovkin doesn't fight on the inside, Golovkin can comfortably be outboxed behind an effective jab, Golovkin is there to be hit, etc).

Saunders has a price in mind for the fight (he's not fight Golovkin for Dominic Wade money, so K@ better come with a legit offer or be exposed again), but he's not running.

Actually to let you some insight on recent news.. Boxnatio(BN)n have launched their own version of on-demand Channel called BN Box-Office & Sky subscribers can subscribe for this fight.. The fight in UK should sell on PPV between these two & that is all the more reason Warrens are willing for the fight as it might generate more revenue than before if it was on BN..

So for a change Saunders & team can bring more to the table like Brook/Ed-eh/Sky than just being a leech & expect K2 to cough up more from their poor purses..

How many homes in the UK actually have BoxNation as a channel? My guess is not that many.

Matchroom Sport crushes it on PPV because 1)the fight cards are generally compelling for the British audience and 2)Sky Sports pushes the heck out of the fights across their channels.

If Sky Sports is akin to ESPN stateside, my guess is that BoxNation may be more akin to FS2. What type of PPV number would you honestly expect from a fight that was only promoted on FS2, compared to one that got pub from ESPN?
