Billy Joe Saunders purse is $8 million for Canelo Alvarez fight on May 2

[ShoulderRoll]

Way more than he deserves.

Andy Ruiz was guaranteed $9 million for the Anthony Joshua rematch.

I dont reckon 8 weeks is long enough for Bill to be at his best. Excited nonetheless.

You can't be serious,that phat phuck has been knowing he was ashoeing for this fight for weeks now,he still looks like a before pic from a christy ally jennie craig ad back in the 90s,weird ass hairstyle & all.

Good point, he is looking a bit tubby recently. I'll never forget watching some of his training footage, I think it was just before the split with Tibbs, Saunders had all the likenesses of a slug

BJS was after fight since long ago -- he should have started his camp accordingly...

[Jax teller]

Way more than he deserves.

Andy Ruiz was guaranteed $9 million for the Anthony Joshua rematch.

Ruiz got 6mil in the first and wasn't a Champ like BJS (paper or not).

Should be comparing to Parker that got 30-33%, about 13 mil from what I remember, even then you had a load of groupies on here crying lowball.

So, what is BJS's rematch clause state?
BJS has a title at least, Ruiz had nothing to negotiate with. Joshua choosing him as a late replacement is the single best thing that has happened to Ruiz in his life, you think he should have insisted on a better rematch clause deal when the line up of alternates was round the block?

BJS negotiated $8M, Smith wanted 10, BJS got it and Canelo will make a heap more and the fight got made. Failing to see the issue here.

[Lance98]

Might be a boring fight. Canelo chasing saunders around, saunders running all over the ring, but getting screwed on the score cards. Bleh...

[siablo14]

Good he is getting a payday but am I the only one that thinks his style might give Alvarez some problems?

The best he can get is a draw.

[ShaneMosleySr]

Remember when everyone said he was ****** to negotiate? LMFAO.
