Big Dog, you're rationalizing Saunders' decision to duck GGG. Fine. But, let's call it what it is: a blatant duck. He was offered $3MM U.S. to face the perceived best in the division in a unification fight, enough money to make most fights in the entire sport worth it. If he avoids GGG, he shows his true colors. All this nonsense that he is a traveling man and fighting is in his genes is pure bullocks.Quote:

Dependant on the challenger I believe Saunders should get at least £100,000 for a routine defence against a no name challenger.Quote:

He's bleeding GGG for every penny he can get from him rightly or wrongly.
Yes , he's ducking him, yes, that's wrong and yes he should fight meaningful fights, but the Governing bodies let them get away with Murder.
He's been offered £2 million to fight GGG , I reckon if he can get £2.5-£3 Million , he'd take the fight. I don't reckon they will stretch that far and who can blame them.
I know that's crazy, but it's the way it is. Don't forget , Joshua just got £3 million for a British title fight!
No way 1/2 million pounds for a fight with a no body. This is Frank Warren we are talking about.Quote:

Trust me, if he thought he could earn 5 times more with Matchroom than with Warren, he'd be off like a shot.
If he leaves Warren, what's Warren got left?
A "duck" that makes sense.Quote:
