    Eubank pulled out in the last second, you rather have GGG sitting out until December?

    I don't understand you boxing fans.

    GGG tried to get all the top MW in the ring this September.

    Middleweight:
    Canelo dropped his belt, fights Liam Smith, he basically triggered that situation with his taunts and big talks that he would face GGG this Sept.
    Danny Jacobs will only face GGG in ~18 months, when the fight makes more "sense" and money.
    Saunders priced himself out multiple times, probably fights on the Canelo undercard.
    Eubank had over 3 weeks to sign the fight and wasnt able to because his father made ridiculous demands and wanted to control the whole show.

    Super Middleweight:
    Gilberto Ramirez had a fight scheduled and now is out with an injury.
    Badou Jack: In Unification talks with DeGale, plan to fight end of this year.
    DeGale: Same as Jack
    Abraham/Groves: Both protected by Sauerland, not getting close to GGG.

    Jnr Middleweight:
    Charlo brothers: No intention to fighting GGG, drain themselves to 154.
    Andrade: Wants to face GGG once he unifies 154, maybe in 2 years.
    Lara: Talks big on Social Media/Interviews, but never once contacted K2, PBC promoter even says fight can't happen because of TV problems

    GGG had the fight with Hearn and Eubank basically locked in, the deal with HBO for a UK fight on Sept 10th was in place and Eubank Sr pulled out, made the deal impossible. Now Brook stepped up, took the deal.

    For GGG it was either, say no to Brook, probably not fight at all until December or accept the Brook challenge which gives him the criticism but he stays active, he wants to fight and build his fanbase in the UK, open more markets and build his name, so the the other UK fighters, like Saunders, DeGale, Callum Smith and even Eubank can't ignore GGG any longer.

    You seriously rather have GGG sit out and not fight at all until December, or where does he magically find another good name opponent within a coupe days? Give me the list of fighters then.

    You need to focus your hatred and disappointment to the fighters who are responsible for this! You know GGG wanted to face the top MWs in September.

    This is what any unbiased person understands from the whole situation. This is the context I've been talking about since the fight was announced.

    Don't expect anything more than attacks to you without any valid reason behind.

      Lil Gs team only negotiated with Canelo, Eubank and Brook AFAIK. That's not trying to make fights with everyone, not even close.

        I agree, you don't see many GGG fans saying that this is a great ultra competitive fight for the ages (there are a few, but they are known to be trollish at times), this isn't a legacy fight on paper, it is a money fight that only happened because of the circumstances... nothing less nothing more.

            Eubank never pulled out of any fight.

            Hearn and Eubank Sr couldn't come to an agreement in time.

                    So out of the 1,568 registered MW Boxers none were available?

                    didnt GGG go on this entire rant about respecting boxing etc etc.

                    Like i said ggg is like every other boxers they want to win and get paid and will take any advantages they can this is why he wanted a catchweight against ward, this is why he was okay with a catchweight against rosado, this is why he refuses a catchweigth against canelo this is why he had no problem fighting pac or may at 154. Respects boxing my ass just trying to fill his pockets while taking the less risks as possible.
