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

Source for that purse?

Im just going off the purses Loeffler usually offers and what they offered last time.

HBO doesnt have a lot of $$$ and has no clue what their doing with Boxing now days. The fight would have to be on PPV. I can see GGG getting around $5 million and Saunders around $2. This fight would be a hard sale?? I mean Lemuix numbers were actually worse than with Stevenson

How much do you really think they can afford to pay Saunders??? Maybe it would be worth more overseas???

"It has been a tough time with injuries through the past few months but at this level against a top operator like Martin Murray you cannot risk going into a fight less than 100%.

Am I the only one that laughed out loud when they read this part HAHAHA

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

Until it's announced I'm gonna refuse to believe Canelo fights him next. I still feel its gonna be GGG and if not him then hopefully Charlo or Saunders.

If its truly Spike then Im gonna evaluate being a fan of Canelo anymore.

Now if Spike fights and BEATS #1 like Charlo, Jacobs, Sergiy, Andrade then Ill have NO problem if he gets the call to fight either GGG or Canelo.

IMO and to help out with PPV sales tell Jacobs/Charlo to fight on their undercard and winner gets next.

GGG vs. Canelo Main Event
Jacobs vs. Charlo

Man that a GRUDGE match. They all HATE the guy they're fighting. And easy to make IMO.

Gets PPV exposure and some serious $$$$$ in their next fight ESPECIALLY if Canelo wins.

No! Murray was just saying hes gonna retire just a couple of months back.

It would be hilarious if Murray did show up on Saturday and when Billy Jo goes to spark him out he actually does rip his hamstring...

Well that's just ******! Why does Oscar (& so many others) repeat his PPV earnings then?

Canelo vs GGG base salaries: Alvarez $5M, Golovkin $3M.

You notice the part that says BASE SALARIES?

It has nothing to do with HBO's budget because the market (ppv buyers whether here or overseas) sets it.

Here's Canelo's past guarantee'd purses. Can't wait to hear you only repeat these numbers from now on regarding Saul.
5,000,000 Chavez
3,500,000 Smith
3,500,000 Khan
5,000,000 Cotto
3,500,000 Kirkland
1,500,000 Lara

BJS is one disrespectful pos. Can't believe he is trashing Martin Murray online after pulling out a 2nd time! This scrum doesn't deserve the GGG or Canelo payday.

[Illmatic94]

this fraud bum has gotten too much credit for beating a GGG leftover. the 15 mins has expired long ago. fck this clown.

He's still a guy who would make you look like a child in the ring. He's tough as they come and would embarrass you irredeemably.

Just putting your post in context there

Agreed!

It truly is amazing how easily people dismiss some fighters that fought tooth & nail with other world class fighters & champions.

Another round of tough luck for Martin. He'll bounce back & hopefully get in the ring again soon.
