Comments Thread For: Hearn: Saunders To Get Less For This Canelo Fight, But Not Great Deal Of Difference

what happened to Saunders vs Andrade??? seriously

Didn’t you hear. It was reported a few days ago that Canelo paid off Saunders a lot of money to keep him from fighting Andrade... Didn’t want to have to Possibly fight Andrade for the unification fight. He wants the undisputed Super Middleweight belts but wants to make sure he fights Saunders not Andrade.

Andrade, like Haney, is sidelined and fighting no one of note, with no buzz, and no exposure since signing with Edward Hearn....this is what happens to Americans when they sign with the Narcissist

Didnt George Costanza do this once ? Hold out for less money? Saunders found out hes not Ted Danson..

I'm guessing Andrade is trying to hold out for Canelo to beat Saunders so Andrade can use his belt to become the #1 challenger at 168 for the WBO belt once Canelo has it. Force himself into a payday

Sign them, file them.....Good old Edward...the saviour of world boxing ......NOT!

Hearn also acknowledged that Saunders will be paid a lower purse for facing the Mexican superstar in three months than Saunders would've earned had he squared off against Alvarez last May 2

So the WBO champion accepted what B-Side means and suddenly a fight got booked.

Interesting to see the process just work.

Eddy talking out of the side of his neck again. Saunders will get less, but not much less? Why pay him a little less? Is this a symbolic pay cut, meant to show others to take a cut, only bigger? What is Eddy up to?

[wildman]

I doubt this fight will even happen. Just talk. Saunders really doesn't want to fight any top tier opponents.

Funny how boxing fans get into a groove of hating a fighter... and it never ends. Too bad some of you conveniently miss the fact that Saunders is one of the best pure boxers in the sport right now. Yeah, he's had a few missteps... but you can't take away from his talent. Definitely looking forward to this one. IMO it's Canelo's toughest test yet.

Based on what? A SD over Eubank 7 years ago? Eubank was beat by Groves who was KO'd by Smith who was chased by a midget. Multiple levels there separating BJS from the top. Saunders was also drugging for most of his career he can only be worse now without drugs.
