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

[DougalDylan]

Saunders could headline and arena. BT his TV is justing getting into ppv but there reach isn't the same as Skys. Really need to get Saunders in a small stadium, I would have thought it could generate the cash but Frank would have to run the show and he has done much in the way of big paydays recently.

I can't see Frank wanting Jacobs as Saunders is the A side for him in that one.

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.

Jacobs looked good v triple G but in his two fights since has looked **** average v not the best of opponents saunders looked a monster v lemiux bj wins this easy i think

To be fair BJS looked poor recently too .. Lemieux was his best form for ages. he's always been a skilled boxer but its the big fights that he rises for there have been some stinkers too eg that one in a Scottish lesiure centre.

There's a good chance if he can't get canelo or GGG he moves up to maybe fight groves or others .

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.

What you "saw" & what I have here are 2 different things. Like ALWAYS lil g "fans" are backwards....

Saunders should take either Andrade or Jacobs. 2 very tough fights, I believe he could beat both of them especially Jacobs with a suspect Chin. Andrade if he's a true middle weight that would be the tougher fight. Eddie is f.o.shyht, don't believe that nonsense

bjs can't & won't K.O. or hurt Jacobs but it would be an interesting boxing match. Boo Boo is now you see me now you don't so I don't even know when he will fight again.

Yes they do, his fight was on HBO, the same channel that features Danny Jacobs, so that talk is rubbish.

No they don’t, you don’t know what your talking about, take it from a guy who lives in the UK, BJS regularly fights at the copper box arena in London which holds around 8000 and guess what? He can’t fill it, like ever.

He’s never been in a uk ppv show, but yet you think the North American casuals will know who he is just because he’s fought on one HBO show, it doesn’t work like that I’m afraid, BJS is a super talented guy but no one knows who he is unfortunately.

When was the last WBO mando? Was it Mini Mike Tyson?

Lol you are correct..it was Khurtzide

[Mammoth]

Lol you are correct..it was Khurtzide

I wonder if Jacobs being ranked 2 and Sulecki ranked 4 changes anything? Warren has a say I'm sure...

that is actually how I saw it

anyone who insists that a particular fighter would price himself out..... without actually asking the fighter, who supposedly would price himself out..... I switch off

recently, I even saw fans pulling that stunt with Golovkin regarding Derevyanchenko

that is surely the lamest excuse possible
