The fight was rescheduled for February 23rd. Alexander withdrew a few days ago with a right bicep injury - and now the news hits the net that he's close to a Mayweather fight.

Just take the step-aside money and bug off. There are bigger things going on in this world than a guy named Kell Brook.

Hearns is an idiot

Hearn is a brit promoter, has some fighters that GBP is matching with their own, eg. Brook-Alexander, Rees-Broner.

Already bought airfare for Vegas. I hope this is a hoax. A counter puncher vs a defensive fighter is not a good match up. I don't want to see this crap! This does not sell tickets!

No, he mentioned it because GB will make a lot of enemies with the UK boxing fans if this injury withdrawal was all a swerve to make a Mayweather fight. A lot of UK fans had to cancel flights, hotel, when the injury was announced.

Think he's trying to go along the lines of "is this how you do business"?

While waiting to hear from GBP about Devon's injury and what the deal is with the fight (which they signed a contract for) they've potentially gone and maid another fight without even disclosing it to the Hearn/Brook camp.

Plus a lot of UK fans are going to be pi$$ed if this is the reason it's not on because they've paid for flights, hotel, etc.

I can see why he's doing it.
