This started when Saunders wouldn't accept to go on the undercard of Canelo/Smith. He was offered Monroe, Stevens and Rosado, and said no to all of them saying it did nothing for his career (Cowboys stadium, 90,000 seater, PPV card, US exposure, likely sets up a Canelo fight). That was shots fired as far as Golden Boy was concerned.
So then Saunders takes on an unknown Russian in some leisure centre in Scotland instead, looking awful at the same time, GB just getting their own back now.
GB is clearly miffed about the whole thing, which makes GGG more likely (good), but then again, they don't need to be friends to see that a Canelo/Saunders fight makes sense from quite a few angles.
But you know Saunders - he'll probably start describing what he would do to De La Hoya's mother in a dark room (like with Dan Rafael), and he'll find out what happens when you you start messing with Mexicans' mamas (De La Hoya American, but has been granted Mexican citizenship and has previously stated 'I always felt my blood was Mexican').

Exactly! Oscar had to scramble on what was suppose to be a VERY good undercard Once Ortiz and Saunders both declined to fight on PPV in front of 50,000 fans. Dumb move on Saunders and Ortiz parts...
