Comments Thread For: Saunders To Golovkin: If You Have a Pair of Balls, Sign The Contract!

[FrankieClutch]

Saunders has gotten really brave

[jackblack008]

If Golovkin really is about "dream of securing all of the belts", the choice is simple; fight Saunders in June to unify the belts, have the rematch with Jacobs come the fall, and then deal with the WBO mandatory defense (against the Langford/Khurtsidze winner) this December, with the Alvarez fight now being an option for a possible May 2018 date.

If he's not, he backs out of the Kazakhstan date (likely shows up for a sitdown interview, while a smaller fight card gets put on featuring Kazakh fighters), finally signs to fight Alvarez for a massive payday, and settles to fighting twice a year for however much longer he wants to even bother fighting (I doubt that he's all that excited in the possibility of fighting Jacobs again, or watching young bucks like Jermall Charlo, Derevyanchenko, Chris Eubank Jr, and others come on form).

Since Jacobs exposed Golovkin, everyone has been itching to get in the ring with him. They weren't this brave before.

Lara, Andrade, Ward, Andre Dirrell, heck even prospects like Jesse Hart, among others, weren't afraid of fighting, so not sure what your point is. Golovkin was thirsting after the big payday, so acknowledging anything else didn't help anyone.

The Jacobs fight simply confirmed the holes that fighters have been seemingly whispering at since the Rosado fight.

Hey Saunders! I wouldn't be in such a rush to get totally destroyed just for a bigger payday. I figure it will take about halfway through the first round when you realize getting hit by GGG is SO much different than the fighters you've fought up to this point. Hopefully you it isn't to bad of a beating

wasnt that a mando?

so basically ggg got forced into the jacobs fight.


if there was another light puncher they can faced they would have.





ima get hella hate for this haha

GGG wasn't forced to fight Jacobs. He gave him more than his mandated split to get the fight made.

[GMAN SUPREME]

GGG should be fighting canelo next or go directly into a rematch with jacobs. Saunders is a bum and a joke paper champ. I don't care how many youtube videos he makes how many borat jokes he makes about GGG I just won't care about him. Saunders is just trying to sell his belt to the highest bidder. SMH

I bet you were singing a different tune about bjs back when ducknelo and fishnets were trying to secure a fight with him by making ginger the mandatory to his belt and asking him to be on the smith undercard.

1) Golovkin was never going to see anywhere near that much on an Alvarez fight, and to lay that out as a marker is silly.

2)if the rumors about the money being put up for Kazakhstan are true, the unification route won't end up being for a bad penny either; $10m to fight at home, a truly sellout event at MSG for the Jacobs rematch on PPV, and then a big HBO defense against another mandatory challenger.

Jacobs-Alvarez-December fight and Jacobs-Saunders-JacobsII-December fight, from the outside looking in, would likely put the same amount of money in Golovkin's pocket.

GGG wasn't forced to fight Jacobs. He gave him more than his mandated split to get the fight made.

You act as if Jacobs had no money backing him, lol. More than the mandated split (more of the guaranteed money heading to Jacobs than even the initial change in purse bid ask) was the price of keeping the fight on HBO and not having Golovkin risk being stripped of his oldest trinket.

[kafkod]

Lol. Oscar has put team GGG in a bind. If they fight Saunders, Canelo is off the table. If they don't fight then, Canelo still not a surety.

Lets see how this end by end of this week.

It's put the flomos at this site in a bind too.

They were all geared up for the "GGG is ducking Canelo" campaign.

Now they might need to switch that to "GGG said he wanted all the belts, so why's he ducking BJS?"

[giacomino]

Sauders has milked his secondary title for a year and a half and talks a lot more than fights. Hope GGG get paid well to pound him
