GB will make a offer that's probably triple what Saunders has ever made and he'll either take it or he won't. Saunders is nobody that Canelo has to overpay for or go through long back and forth negotiations. LMAO He's only in the running for the Canelo lottery because his belt. If he get's stripped or loses tomorrow Canelo will never fight him because he brings nothing else to the table. And like I said he has the pressure of a purse bid because he's the only one who gets stripped if he loses the bid or backs out NOT canelo.
Canelo is operating from a point of strength against either GGG, Canelo and damn sure bum azzz Saunders in any negotiations.
We agree, the fight won't go to purse bid. Canelo would walk from such a situation b/c he doesn't need the belt and he's not going anywhere near parity with BJS.
But BJS/Warren aren't helpless. BJS is as young as Canelo, and Warren's new tv deal would pay Saunders very well fighting so-so competition while defending his belt. That's how Warren built Calzaghe's and Hatton's careers. BJS/Warren won't sell out that title and undefeated record for cheap money.
As of now, if Canelo passes, BJS's two mandatories will be Khurtsidze and Langford. Langford is a breeze for BJS. Khurtsidze has become very overrated with his win over Douglass. At the same time, Khurtsidze will 38 years old and out of the ring for a year if he fights BJS next. BJS will be in shape and focused for Khurtsidze and beat him comfortably. There's no haste in BJS/Warren to accept a Canelo deal unless BJS is pulling a Kelly Pavlik and ready to quit boxing, and I don't think he is.
