Isn't 20 foot the largest size the BBBoC will allow?

If so how can he refuse to fight in a ring that is as big as any allowed in UK? If this fight was in England it would be 20 foot ring.

Yeah - that’s what I flagged earlier. It’s not a small ring as Tom tries to make people believe.

If Billy Joe loses that Eddie will likely just cut ties (as Team Saunders seem to want). He’s a good fighter but it’s not worth the hassle when the fighter’s dad is telling people to get refunds for their tickets and DAZN subs and is talking a fair bit of rubbish.

Completely prejudiced against travellers not letting billy joel have a ring the size of a football pitch so he can run round the ring like mo farah all night.

You ought to he ashamed of yourselves you political bastards.

He said in his interview yesterday how poorly Billy Joe had been treated with this and that travellers have always been hard done by. He even said they had it worse than the Jewish in the Second World War.

20ft is the size they used in Canelo Vs Mayweather and Mayweather Vs Pacquiao, and it didn't stop Mayweather sticking and moving.

Eh? This Saunders character is the one spitting his dummy out and insulting the man who picked him out the gutter and chucked him $20million quid for doing jack.

Just watched the interview. BJS's "manager" sits there and doesn't say a word. Probably silently waving goodbye to his six digit cut of the purse.

I wish that the guys interviewing Tom Saunders would call him out on it. Ask him why, if this was such a big issue, it wasn’t sorted sooner. Ask him why a 20ft ring is too small when it’s the biggest ring the BBBC will allow, it’s the standard ring Nevada allows etc. If a casual watches his video they’ll think he’s been harshly treated whilst in reality he’s asking for more than he should be.

$20m? Stop it, Cog, stop it right now. And i don't think he was ever in the gutter.... Bill Ives was his biggest fan.

Saunders playing the heel to try and create some interest in the fight And shift some DAZN subs. All very predictable and low quality IMO. The fight will happen.

Honestly fighters today would be laughed off the earth by fighters of the past - imagine these fakes having to fight with horse hair gloves or go 15 rounds, or fight twice a fortnight for $50 a pop.

To be fair to the interviewer he's sitting in Team Saunders room full of team Saunders members. It's probably not the best situation to be in, especially when he's more of a boxing fan come ifl bloke than he is a legit journalist and that's why he's getting the interview - Saunders camp can whinge like this and control the narrative with people like him.

For sure they need calling out though - Anyone who isn't thick as mince, can see this scenario is painting the Saunders camp very poorly.

They don’t have to be dicks about it but they should be able to ask them ‘why does Billy Joe need a 22ft ring when then BBBC only allows a 20ft ring’!

Reminds me of Fwank telling Eubank he was the most unprofessional man hed ever worked with when he said Jr would be training instead of attending a presser and theyd have to go to Brighton to do it! That great fight town!
