Comments Thread For: Hearn: Saunders Would Price Himself Out of Jacobs Fight in U.S.

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

NEW YORK Daniel Jacobs would "love" to fight Billy Joe Saunders next. Jacobs even embraced the thought of challenging England's Saunders for his WBO middleweight title in the United Kingdom during a post-fight press conference early Sunday morning at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. Eddie Hearn, Jacobs' promoter, thinks that transatlantic trip might be the only way Brooklyn's Jacobs could land a shot at Saunders' title because Saunders would want too much money to box Jacobs in the United States.

I saw a video of BJS asking Hearn why he doesn't make this fight.

Hearn replied: "It would be difficult, because he earns more than you, and you wouldn't take a pay cut"

So by saying BJS would price himself out, what Hearn actually means is that Jacobs would price himself out by expecting to be paid more than the champion in a title fight.

"Billy Joe’s been waiting for Gennady Golovkin for a long time. And now, obviously that May 5th is not happening, September the 15th is happening. So Billy Joe’s gonna miss out on that big fight again. And there really isn’t anyone else out there for him to fight.” - Eddie Hearn

Huh? Really? There's Charlo, Murata, Andrade, and Derevyanchenko!

Not sure if you're from the UK but help me out. Wouldn't this be a big fight over there? Am I overestimating Saunders's popularity? Couldn't this fight make enough to get both guys several million?

Seems like Eddie is full of it with this comment.

BJS isn’t that big over here among casuals. There’s still plenty of tickets available for his next fight whereas AJ, Bellew-Haye, Khan all sell out really fast

Eddie knows all about UK fighters pricing themselves out of coming to US
