    Pretty bad idea considering his eye injury honestly

    Boxing and bare knuckle boxing is a completely diff sport. Trout is apparently doing well in it but I could see some boxers getting hurt by dudes they’d easily dominate in real boxing due to dirty tactics and smaller ring.

    Saunders comes from a long line of gypsy bare knuckle boxers, I think he's going to do pretty well, just depends how out of shape he is now.

    If he could get in shape he would have boxed again by now. He left millions behind in the boxing ring. So I can't see him in bootcamp for something that would pay him a pittance by comparison.

    Seriously, he shouldn’t be wasting whatever talent he has left in the BKFC. A Eubank rematch is promotable and a Saudi cheque could be life changing even compared to the Canelo purse

    Bare knuckle is not a sport

    It's a quick route to nerve damage or blindness in your eyes

    I don't think we will see Saunders in remotely reasonable shape ever again; unless BKFC forego all weight classes, or Saunders decides to campaign at HW, this isn't happening.

    Every time I see a report about BKFC fir some reason I think about Kentucky Fried Chicken.

    Saunders looked like a fat slob last I saw him.

    Perhaps he needs the money for legal fees?

    It's weird when I have seen a fighter's whole, nude dong. But in this instance, I certainly have. And that is weird.

    Bare knuckle after a nasty orbital fracture seems like a particularly bad idea IMO
