Comments Thread For: Saunders Confident: Lemieux Looks Good Against B-Level Fighters!

[Mike_R]

BJS looks bad against B level fighters, so he should probably take Lemieux pretty seriously.

[MisanthropicNY]

I think Lemieux gets the robbery to set up the Canelo fight. I mean the fight is in Canada with Golden Boy pretty much running the show.

[Tatabanya]

Right there with you on that one. Really hoping he puts him down hard.

One can always hope... remember Ibeabuchi vs Byrd

I believe he was referring to regular HBO, not PPV HBO. But I could be wrong...

Okay then SuperFly was an important and very good card and not HBO PPV.

[Vegemil]

Lol at least Lemieux looks good against B class while Saunders looks **** against Wolverine.

[Butch.McRae]

That card was made only because HBO pays those fighters peanuts. HIghest purse was 600k for Chocolatito.

Srisaket Sor Rungvisai $170,000
Roman Gonzalez $600,000

Naoya Inoue $182,500
Antonio Nieves $35,000

Carlos Cuadras $62,500
Juan Francisco Estrada $65,000

Didn't even check the purses. Yikes that's low. They put on that card for less than $1.5 million. That should be criminal lol a card like that should easily be over $2.5 million minimum.

Thanks for the notice.

Atleast Saunders admits he's b level because Lemieux is going to look like a killer in there for sure

[redmish]

BJS by comfortable decision.

[Butch.McRae]

And that takes away the importance of those fights why? Just shows those guys wanted to fight the best not use the tired money excuse to avoid real fights.

I understand the point you're trying to make but that shouldn't be okay. Those little guys have a shorter shelf life. As fabulous as these fights were, those guys should be compensated appropriately. Paying everybody on the card a total of $1.5 million seems wrong. That was probably the best card on HBO all year.

Can you believe that last saturday's triple header was made for 2.18 mil and that completely unknown Gausha (250k) made way more than Estrada and Cuadras!
