Comments Thread For: Warren: Golovkin-Saunders Possible - If Billy Joe is Properly Paid

[TheBoxingXpert]

If Golovkin doesn't allow Saunders a very respectable payment and if Golovkin isn't willing to take the fight in England, then I blame Golovkin for simply not understanding, that it's now if he ever wants to unify! He's not serious about pursuing greatnes if he doesn't do whatever it takes to get this fight.

That's not insane. That's basic common sense. That's the whole concept of getting loans or business loans. The objective is to surpass the capital you're requesting. With Lil'G having 4 belts, doesn't the stock technically rise? It's basic common sense. Future fights would surpass anything crying about 4million.

However, you want the real truth? Loeffler is content even without the WBO for now, and it's safe to say that they wouldn't mind seeing Saunders defend that WBO. A shock loss, then they can give the new WBO challenger 1 mill or less. Saunders is the Champ, he can price himself as he pleases, he doesn't work for K2 or their future earning goals. Boxing is Business, no favors done!

When Warren mentioned risk, I thought of the finance angle, too. The more risk you take on, the more you're expected to be compensated.

I know it stinks if you're Warren/GGG to have to front this much cash ($4M+), but it will get GGG a chance at unifying. If he unifies, his stock goes up more and he'll be able to get more cash down the line.

if eubank and saunders are the best ggg can do i honestly think he should move to 168 sorry but those fights dont do it for me tho if i had to pick one of the 2 i would actually pick eubank

Yep, is a bussines...but if you ask me...I won't pay you 4M for that WBO belt..just because you want it...you have to give me more than that.

If you can't sell anything near 4M dont ask 4M..simple...is business right?

That's still not the point, and businesses don't rely on just one transaction. Let's not forget, we're talking about the final belt to unify. What you're suggesting is what perhaps a cheap promoter would justify. It's ridiculous if you think the focus is on one particular fight. The road for Golovkin is 168. If he unifies all the belts, how do you think he comes in with negotiations at a new weight? 4 million perhaps K2 just doesn't have... or Loeffler is just scared and cheap to bet!

It's common to bet small when you're worried about winning.

lil g is a HBO manufactured fighter! They actually paid Andre Ward NOT to fight him.

You don't get it, you have to be against GGG. Are you black? you're doing the wrong thing, you should be attacking GGG, you're not expected to be using your brain. No love for GGG if you're black.

[Pain~Lucy]

It is. I don't know where the money is going to come from. GGG's detractors say he isn't popular so I don't know how they are going to cover this amount with BJS who also isn't very popular. I don't know if a joint PPV will cover this and all the expenses.

Honestly, people here think money grows on trees.

Would love for the fight to happen though. For sure.

haters will be haters and there's no logic on them so what they mean is GGG needs to give his whole purse just to make this fight happen which seems to be fair on them, because theyre bidness man remember?

[OctoberRed]

This just makes Golovkin-Eubank seems more plausible
