Dependant on the challenger I believe Saunders should get at least £100,000 for a routine defence against a no name challenger.
Master, as John McEnroe once said "you cannot be serious!" When Lee fought Quillin, he paid Saunders more than that in step aside money. Eubank Jr. Is getting more than that for a nothing fight with O'Sullivan and a British title fight, and so is Blackwell.
Saunders will earn at least half a million for a standard defence. He would earn a Million for a defence against Eubank and Eubank would probably earn £400k-£500k.
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!
