    I'm not convinced to be honest, GBP apparently already made BJS an offer which hadn't been accepted. After the Akakov fight ODLH said they halved the $$$ due to the poor performance.

    I think BJS' demands will be more than $5 million.

    The WBC have that rule, with the champion giving up his title should he want to move up/down to a different division to become an official mandatory, WBO I'm not sure

    If it's more than 5 million he's pricing himself out plain and simple. But I think if they offer him 5mill from the start we got ourselves a fight. Especially now since it looks like the Chavez camp isn't satisfied with what GBP is offering.

    That is an interesting rule. Thanks for the input. If that is true, then it's not as shady :)

    Yeah I ain't convinced Saunders takes the fight. He will ask for stupid money. Even as champ it's Canelo who brings the money and BJS can't make demands.

    Saunders made a mistake not fighting on the Canelo v Smith card. If he would of looked good on that he could of had some leverage.

    The main problem he has is he doesn't draw money. His promoter could never justify paying for a top name to come to the UK as he Saunders doesn't fill arenas.

    Big MW step up for Canelo.
    I could see Saunders winning this and becoming the lineal champ

    Why is everyone arguing money again when the crux of the issue is the corruption and collusion behind Cucknelo's specious ranking?

    :risas3:The Canelo NUT HUGGERS are fascinated with $$$ MONEY $$$, that's the focus of a majority of their discussions.

    :applaudit: The poor little trolls have been left HIGH & DRY with GBP offering GGG more MONEY than Canelo's made on any one of his fights. Even O$car's LOW-BALL OFFERS wind up being a bigger PAY DAY for GGG than Canelo's gotten.

    :eyebrow2: It's tuff being a Canelo fan, always making excuses & trying to defend GBP's idiotic moves.

    Well yea that's another problem... he has Eubanks and Lee under his belt which are known names... i think if he is active he will get more fans... I think he has the technical skills to be great but his drive isn't all there...
