    I'm a GGG fan but of course Loeffler would say this, because it makes GGG look even better lol

    Good question. He won't be feeling very happy just now.

    Honestly I expect he finds some old shot fighters to beat up, he wants to fight the best but his promoter won't let him take the risk.

    Indeed so, promoters have to be taken with a large grain of salt.

    However I do tend to believe it, GGG would lose a ton of fans if he fought another can in September, and if not Saunders is about the best / most profitable opponent around bar Canelo.

    Gotta suck to be Saunders right now. He’s been left out twice now, almost in the same way.

    I was watching Ice Age with my son few days ago, that squirrel reminded me of Saunders. Always chasing the nut and whenever he gets close to it, he gets shafted.

    He did sign the contract last summer so hard to tell.
    P4P squirrel beats him tho, based on number of failures alone.

    Best most probably. most profitable hell to the no he is????

    Saunders wouldn't draw any bigger numbers and even if he did would demand a fair deal which tbh he deserves.

    Other guys don't have the leverage of the belt and the resume as Saunders

    Saunders = high risk, low monetary reward (but a great legacy win)

    GGG = money over legacy

    ESPN now running the story, apparently an agreement was in place for late August.
