Before the Alexander fight was made the Jones camp had pushed for a rematch because it was such a close fight. Brook said he'd give Jones a rematch but he had a world title shot against Alexander instead. Then he spent the next six months repeatedly bottling out of fighting Alexander and that fight was called off as he was never going to get in the ring for it. At that point Hearn can hardly take a step backwards even from Jones and put him in with some cab driver. He had to make the rematch and Brook had to take it.
