Billy Joe Saunders had the chance to fight Hassan N'Dam N'Jikam for the IBF Title

BJS was on yesterday's Bunce programme on Boxnation - he said that he would lose his mandatory status with the WBO if he took the IBF route with N'Dam - no prospect of a reunification. And the financials of staying with the WBO route are supposedly much better. When he took the step-aside money to allow Lee vs Quillan to happen, BJS says he got very good financial guarantees whatever the outcome (50% split if against Lee, still very lucrative if against Quillan) plus any money from the undercard fight in the meantime. Not exactly the glory game, but far more prudent than taking a **** purse split against N'Dam and losing any possibility of a fight with Lee with every traveller in the UK queuing for a ticket.

Seeing this and watching his IFL interview makes it more understandable, but if I was BJS I would prefer a shot at Lee in Ireland than waiting for the winner where I think Quillin will probably win and then a fight with Quillin in America would be tougher than the Lee fight but he's obviously getting well paid for it all.
