    Who would bring more money than Saunders, apart from Canelo?

    Derevyanchenko? No. Charlo? Probably not. Murata? Maybe if in Japan, but there was never any talk of doing this fight earlier than December. Also both GGG and Murata have other mandatories.

    Charlo easily
    Jacobs yes
    Murata obviously
    Kell Brook rematch yep
    Errol Spence no doubt
    Charlo Jr yes
    Danny Garcia yes
    Crawford yes
    Mikey Garcia yep
    Amir Khan yep
    Adrien Broner
    Derevyanchenko would not make more total purse but GGG would take home more and thats all he cares about

    Didn't Saunders within the last few weeks say their preliminary offer/terms were laughable and went to the media to bash them? Yeah. I don't think that was next on the agenda... Canelo/Golovkin II was always on tap.

    It was always just a backup … but Saunders did pull out of the Murray fight so I guess he was hopeful lol

    Now Billy should just put his money where his mouth is and fight Jacobs.

    And now BJS with those two very suspect injuries is in a really stupid position, lol.

    I would have preferred that fight. But I doubt that was a real possibility.

    If that was true, he should have fought BJS, then looked to fight the Derevyanchenko-Jacobs winner to reclaim his belt.

    Then say hey Canelo what’s good for cinco de mayo 2019 as undisputed.

    But it is what it is and secure the money/win now, then go collect the belts.

    Not buying BJS would’ve agreed. GBP if anything would have tried to swoop in and offer 4x for an easier fight for BJS.

    You might as well add Sugar Ray Leonard and Hagler while you are at it, as realism appears to be out the window here!

    Unless he negotiated something with GGG in advance? Saunders pulling out of the Murray fight gave GGG additional leverage in his dispute with Oscar. If it helped swing the percentages his way maybe he'd have been willing to incentivise Saunders fight or no fight?
