    It’s official. Shout out to Callum Smith’s team and their excellent “negotiating” skills and losing the fight and career payday.

      Your dumbass was always parading “but Saunders would give Canelo problems” or BJS’s performance against Lemeiux had you guys sweating boners. Now you’re different

          I guess we found out who took the smallest purse between BJS and Callum.

            Find a single post from me where I've said anything remotely nice about Saunders.

              How's that going to make a difference? Lemieux's style was made for Saunders.

                Well, considering the fight is less than nine weeks away it better be.

                  Callum and Joe Gallagher have avoided a few big fights.

                  Let’s not forget, they never even wanted to fight Billy Joe. When Warren made them an offer, there was no counter offer. Warren even welcomed them to make an offer to fight on Sky/Match room, but they just ran away from the fight.

                  Saunders has signed to fight GGG twice before and always wanted the Canelo fight. He simply wanted what he felt was a fair amount, when other fighters were getting $12m to fight Canelo, then he was right to hold out for more than $6m. That’s negotiation. A lot of people may not like Saunders and have good reason, but i think he’s been serious about wanting Canelo and GGG. I don’t think Smith truly did.

                  Anyway, good fight i think. We’ll get a very motivated Saunders. Stylistically it’ll give Canelo things to think about that he hasn’t had to in a while.

                    If he keeps making fighters wait longer each year, eventually he's going to be picking his opponents out of the crowd.
