BJS offered Murata a fight on 9/16. Teiken promotions turned it down. Not enough time

[Motorcity Cobra]

He says they'll fight in in October but September is too soon. Lemieux is tentatively scheduled to fight Cotto in December so I know he's not gonna give up that payday fro what Frank Warren is offering. The only top MW out there is Jacobs. But for some reason they don't want to fight Jacobs. That's the best fight out there for Saunders. He's had one defense since he got the belt over a year and a half ago. This is getting ridiculous.

Honda, the pres. of Teiken, reveals that Murata was offered to fight Saunders on September 16 but Honda rejected that cause it's too soon.

Accompanying article. Gotta use google translate from Japanese. Teiken promotions also revealed they won't be participating in the WBA purse bid for Murata/N'dam II because the WBA called the bid before negotiations were set to begin. Not sure if that means they aren't going to fight or if they'll fight but won't put up a bid.

Jacobs is the best fight for Saunders to be a good champion who defends his title against the best and highest rated contender. I doubt Saunders would risk losing his belt to Jacobs.

I agree 100%. Haymon and Jacobs need to make NOISE!! Murata's got the N'Dam beef to settle with that PATHETIC robbery. I mean I'm a huge Pedro Diaz fan and N'Dam's performance was GREAT! BUT, MURATA was JUST THAT better!!! Therefore, the Japanese can't be worried about no BJS and who knows what they're offering atm, but Murata is a force to be reckoned with that can make a deal spook a deal to PURSE BID. Meaning Murata could easily wait for the WBO Mando or the IBF. I'm lazy right now now to check the rankings in the ABCs but Murata is usally top 5 if I'm not mistaken.

Teiken Promotions need to fix the N'dam Fiasco before moving forward, or rather, the BJS and WBO situation is just bad timing. Therefore, Jacobs need to make noise if he really WANTS The opportunity.

FÜCK IT how about QUILLIN!!!!!!!???? The Quillin Lee bout is SUSPECT, I would love to hear BJS give reasons to not have Quillin. That's 2 HAYMON Boys right derrrrr.

A least Eubank Jr. has got noise for himself right now with Abraham...

BJS is hoping for a GGG/Canelo payday i'd imagine. I doubt he's going to face anyone too taxing until then.

since when is 10 weeks not enough time?

(And thats 10 weeks from today. Who knows how long ago they got the offer)

Who do you think his next opponent will be?

Who do you think his next opponent will be?

Liam Smith seems to have appeared in the WBO middleweight rankings recently. Seems like he's getting tired of waiting for the Williams rematch so Frank may give him this instead

There could be a parallel universe where that leads to Canelo-Smith II to unify all the belts. I just really hope it's not the universe we're living in.

I doubt Cotto will fight Lemieux. If he does it will definitely not be at 160.

I don't think Lemieux will go below 160, I guess if the price is right he may do it.
