    It’s so laughable it’s unreal.

    Canelo will win a wide decision that should be a close one. Barring a stoppage. Everyone knows exactly what’s gonna happen. BJS will be competitive. The cards won’t be. BJS will cry foul. The end.

    Then Shadow sportsman & Olu Asswipe will claim a master class win, without a hint of embarrassment...

    I'll be happy with that.

    I can't stand Saunders.

    How is it a "victim mind set", that is just gaslighting.

    So if me and you set up a fight, we agreed to certain things, our promoter who works with both of us agreed to certain things, we were all good to go.

    Then we paid you less because there are no crowds, changed the agreed ring size, I wanted questionable custom made gloves, I picked the judges and so on and so on.

    Then a 70,000 crowd were suddenly turning up and your money stayed the same, members of your team from the Uk were not allowed over,.. and so on and so on

    The moment you raised these issues, I just turn around and say "Victim mentality"

    Come on, you're better than that, BJS trusted Hearn with some of these issues, he is his own promoter, he made the fight, he convinced BJS that taking less money was the right thing to do because of no crowds and then brings in 70,000 and basically says "yeah great isn't it" without even the deceny to sort ot out and say "we will add a few more pounds on to both fighters"

    Hearn has said ZERO about the ring size, gloves, more money for BJS.. and said basically nothing about the judges except "we will send the list of judges to BJS team and they can object"

    And that objection won't be worth a toss because of the pandemic, travelling and all sorts of other issues so they will get what they are given.

    I can't ignore and I won't cheer this sort of craphousery, you may not like it because it exposes what an absolute snake Hearn is and the lengths Canelo is going to for advantages.



    Also. I'd like to add, if this was Fury Vs AJ and Fury pulled all this crap, you'd be on with a few things to say.

    Everything you refer to is what contracts are for. You negotiate and sign up to and enter contracts. If Saunders did not get the things he wanted in the fight contract then he and his management are incompetent. Hearn is the Promoter and Canelo his opponent. It’s the job of Saunders management to get him the best deal. AJ won’t get caught by such crap because not only is he the A-side , 258 Management know their onions. When Floyd fought Oscar he did not complain about all of Oscar’s and Golden Boy’s A side moves such as choosing ring size, gloves, weight etc.Floyd knew he just needed to secure the fight and kick Oscar’s ass.

    Saunders is quivering in his hotel room tonight as massive thunderstorms pass through the Dallas area.

    Yeah, fair comment, these things should have been secured in a contract, apparently a couple of them are, so we will see what happens.

    We obviously will not agree about Hearn, the man is a two faced snake in my opinion.


    Also, Fury Vs AJ, there is no A-Side, the first fight is 50/50, no "A-Side" until the second fight, but sure AJ won't get stiffed because HEARN who is dealing with the contracts won't allow him to be stiffed, HEARN IS DRAWING UP CONTRACTS because he is AJ promoter, just like he is BJS promoter.

    It amazes me that Hearn slipped in a rematch clause for Whyte Povetkin because as he said "it would have been negligent" if he didn't, yet didn't see any of this coming.

    And Hearn will make sure AJ won't be stiffed, Warrington had a rematch clause for a keep busy fight, yet somehow promoting BJS it's nothing to do with him, all down to BJS and his management team.

    Hearn describes his role very differently when talking about other fighters he promotes. Oh well, I suppose it depends on how you look at it.


    Finally, Mayweather didn't kick Oscars backside, Pacquaio did, Mayweather squeaked a decision.

    It’s not my role to defend Hearn but he is a promoter and I have seen worse definitely.

    Do you actually believe that Saunders' check with a 70k crowd will be the same as with nobody? I don't believe that for a second.

    You probably think he was just using a nasal spray.

    Or it could be that bJ was negotiating a shitty contract without considering crowd size.
