Saunders just dissed himself because hes a C- level fighter

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.

The money is pretty upsetting full agreement on that. All I was pointing out to homeboy was despite the low pay the card was an important one.

So Lemieux should win easily.

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.

If those fighters were getting pay days like some of the top fighters, that card would have never been made for regular HBO. It's easy to make a great card when HBO is only paying less than 1.5 for all 3 cards. Keep in mind that Postol vs Crawford had to be on HBO PPV and that's just one good fight.

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!

Cards are usually between $2 - 3 million, so that makes sense. The purses were really balanced. Although I think Lara and Charlo's purse should've been flipped.

I just realized that's what the Charlo's keep complaining about lol Lara keeps getting paid more and they've been used to boost his cards.

Thats what I was thinking??? B level fighters are good fighters with 1 flaw. Like Jacobs. A pretty much in every category except chin. Which drops him to B+.

Lemuix is C because he only has power. Saunders is a C also. Average to good but not great at any 1 thing. Maybe talking sht??? But that dont count.

Saunders will be utterly destroyed

Somebody needs to let Saunders know that on his BEST day he's a B level fighter. Unless Saunders can find some magic fighter potion he's in for a whole lot of hurt against Lemeuix. I imagine he is expecting to do his usual tie the guy up and hit on the break hopefully winning on points but I expect this time he's going to get destroyed. I'm sure he'll have a ton of excuses but in the end Saunders is overmatched in this match

Saunders is underrated on here. That said, he hasn't looked that good as of late due to inactivity and also it was well known he had been living an awful lifestyle. Maybe that took something away from him too.

At his best, he doesn't look spectacular but he is a difficult fighter to beat. I think he's too skilled for Lemieux. He should win a very clear decision if there's no dodgy scoring. I don't see Lemieux landing anything big on Saunders.

This is why Haymon is the most loved/hated figured in boxing. If you're in his corner, you will get taken care of financially.
