Re: Eubank Jr v GGG figthing in autumn
We dont know the politics behind the scenes and most of the time its not solely one parties fault but I dont see what reasons Hearn has to lie about what happened here?
When I heard the GGG Eubank fight was on the cards I was pretty shocked and was fairly certain it was just Eubank trying to get his name in with GGG. He had already turned down world title shots to stay at british level (which is fine for a young prospect to do) so why would he suddenly go for a much harder shot. If he beat Saunders (or Jacobs) hed be in a lot better position to negotiate with GGG so surely those routes would make more sense?

Money.
Hearn makes more with this fight, they can trick the audience saying nobody else would fight GGG so Brook stepped up. Excuses GGG. Then they will say Kell had outgrown WW to build the fight. Meanwhile Eubanks go off about no contract, sets up the 2nd fight for Hearn and GGG will be bigger in the UK making more money than it would make now. Hearn more than doubles his take, he probably gets 4 times as much.
And after the Kell demolition they just say 160 was to big and move back down. All the way back to 147 because the guys at 154 are huge. Many well over 6' with long reaches.

So now its going to be Brooks vs this guy o well i am sure the next fight will be something. I must say the MW Division is as barren as it has ever been which is funny because think the weight class would have more talent then it does. Brooks vs GGG is not very interesting but o well should be fun while it lasts which should be at least a few rounds i hope this is a build up to a greater fight which i am sure it is but just going to have to wait longer for it will make it better when it finally happens.

I haven't been shown one contract since my fight with GGG was announced. I'm still ready & waiting to sign. Fighting Brook is a joke #2Small
