Comments Thread For: Billy Joe Saunders: I Can't Face Murray at Less Than 100%

[Mammoth]

Saunders should be stripped guy pulls out every fight because of “injury” postponing or canceling all together... I hope neither ggg or canelo tries to fight him or we will end up with another may 5th situation

Stripped for not facing a guy who isn't a mandatory?

[Eastlos]

Yeah right...Carnelo already has Spike booked

Doubt it but not impossible. Canelo not gonna let GGG have the last Middleweight belt. Oscar gonna make Billy Joe a very rich man to keep him away from Golovkin. Expect Canelo vs. BJS in Vegas for Mexican independence weekend.

The guy barely fights and when he does it’s canceled or postponed a minimum of two times only exception last few fights he has is lemule bum ass

You can't fight Murray, period.
Murray isn't a spring chicken anymore.

I hope Murray fights someone else. The only options in Southpaws are Monroe, Akavov and Andrade. Or maybe Falcao. Either one.

Saunders is getting sick with a case of Thurmanitis

Well Saunders sure as sht aint canceling a fight for $1.5 million GGG money.

Source for that purse?

Martin Murray is big and BJS is afraid of him. Canelo is smaller with lots of money to offer for BJS title. Just be sure no Mexican meat is involved. WBC & JMM take note.

I'm not saying he's not injured, BUT if Golovkin-Canelo 2 isn't happening, it's safe to say one if not both promoters have contacted Warren about a potential fall fight.

This was only a spin job by Saunders.

"They offered me $1.5m for what? To go in someone’s back yard. Alright Lemieux done it… Look where he is now… No belt and no ranking! If I got $4m to fight Golovkin, I would be fighting him! " - Saunders

Yet Lemieux made over 4m for that fight. $1.5m guaranteed + Gate & PPV.

People need to remember that guaranteed money is much less than what the fighter actually takes home for PPV bouts.

This is why the report said Saunders was offered $4m.

6 months later Loeffler came back with another offer to unify, in England!

Jun 20, 2016 - "He’s going in there with him - a monster. It's a tough fight and he needs to get paid for it." - Warren

Saunders & Eubank both turned down the same offer that Brook took.

Sept 10, 2016 - Brook made more than $5m fighting GGG in the UK.

Obviously the offer is only going to continue to rise.

Spike > Vanes. At least Spike is ACTIVE AND a Middleweight. Still a SHT fight I wont see

Spike was considered for May 5th for GGG, but then he declined, decided to go the Canelo way.
