Re: Saunders has solid offer from the Kazak
Just to add - the market in the states is different to here, ticket sales aren't half as important as the TV companies pay much, much more dosh for the fights. That's why you see some of these American based fighters getting paid a million quid yet there's one man and a dog in the audience.

Yes which is why Lee would probably still sell better than Saunders as an opponent for Canello. Who would know or give a fuck about Saunders in America?

There's no point trying to educate this clown, he doesn't have a Scooby doo!

Uh, Except for the people that watched Saunders BEAT Lee on HBO! :rolleyes::rolleyes:
Re: Saunders has solid offer from the Kazak
Saunders is an unbeaten "world" champion. A unification with Canelo would sell alright. But it's irrelevant as that wont be happening

I think Warren would take the cash and chance against Canelo much easier fight than GGG or Eubank.

Im not wasting valuable time reading all that to see his, as he likes to regularly say "conjecture" on what he thinks may be bigger money fights for Saunders.
Those other fighters I saw he had mentioned dont draw big crowds. A Saunders v Eubank match drew 20,000 last time:rolleyes:
I'll keep this short and sweet now I know your attention span and levels of intelligence are so low.
You think Eubank Jr. is a bigger draw than Canelo? 😂😂😂👏👏. You fucking clown.
Hes not a big enough draw for Canelo.
Is Canelo even staying at mddle?
Considering he hasn't made light middle for 2 and a half years and doesn't have a LMW Title whereas he has a MW title, I'd say it's a safe bet that he's fighting at MW.
And as I put in my essay that you didn't have the brainpower to read, this would be a legitimate fight to unify titles AND avoid GGG.

Do you reckon Canelo is an easier fight than Eubank? Just curious.;D
Re: Saunders has solid offer from the Kazak
No Warren wont, that's never been his way. When he gets a belt he keeps it as long as possible before his man is forced to fight a dangerous opponent or he makes a mistake by getting them beat (Clev-Kovalev a recent example)
If Billy Joe fought Canelo, Golden Boy would be the promoter not FW.
Re: Saunders has solid offer from the Kazak
This division is just a little strange. None of the challengers want to fight the champion. Some of these challengers actually call themselves champions. When does boxing right itself? Andy Lee was the only champion willing to fight the Real one however now that he lost his "championship", the new champion is not ready for the real one. Its as if its a different sport. The old "boxing is a business" analogy does not cut shit anymore.

Unfortunately, the governing bodies are fucking spineless. They should be insisting on these fights!
Re: Saunders has solid offer from the Kazak
That's why belts shouldn't mean anything to proper fans (they're important to fighters for business reasons). Everyone knows Golovkin is the best middleweight in the world. Canelo, Billy Joe and Jacobs are just challengers like every other middleweight regardless of the silverware they have.

if golovkin and canelo are having a warm up then i wouldn't grumble at andy lee for golovkin
I believe canelo is fighting rosardo (or what ever his name is)

Yeah he's fighting either Gabe or Monroe lol because we all know the the best way to prep for an opponent is fight one of two men that he destroyed. Pathetic.
Alvarez is not going to fight Golovkin
