I am struggling to find out what Kell brook sees in beating triple GGG.
I would understand if he was a fast,elusive fighter but he isnt.
Maybe its just for the pay day lol.

The simple answer is that 1) he's set to make a **** ton of money in keeping the upside on the event and 2) Gabriel Rosado and Willie Monroe Jr , among others, have shown that Golovkin is there to be hit with some boxing craft.
You add that the IBF isn't putting his 147 title into the lurch , and there was really no reason for him to say no.
Warren actually made Hearn an offer for that fight, unfortunately is was for less money than Brook normally makes. I picked Brook to beat Smith back then and still would.
If he looks ok vs Golovkin, I'd like to see Brook fight the winner of Jermall Charlo/J-Rock for the IBF 154 title. Brook vs J-Rock would be a very interesting fight I think.
Heard the offer did not even broke 7 figures, I personally think he beats most of the top dogs @154 including lara

He still campaigning at ww though... He's not going to move up to fight a higher weight class for less money. Still waiting on that Garcia/Khan fight lol.
It matters not if he is a fast, elusive boxer or a hard punching slugger. A victory of GGG is a huge win and instantly makes him the most talked about boxer in the sport. The amount of money he would get for fights after beating GGG would probably double.
Absolutely. I was talking from a boxing perspective. We all know both guys are getting paid well and it will be a huge event. I understand why both guys took the fight. I just mean GGG has little to gain from a boxing perspective for beating Brook because his win will always be discredited by a lot of people because of the jump up in weight.
I personally don't think it's as bad a fight as people think. That said, i hope GGG jumps up 2 divisions to fight someone like Ward of Kovalev. I'm a fan of his but if he has no problem bringing a guy up 2 weight classes, then he should have no problem being on the other side and doing it himself.
I don't think GGG has the physical ability to jump so high, 168 at best perhaps and even then he would be at weight disadvantage on fight nights. His height isn't very good to gain a lot of muscles and that too very quickly. He also doesn't walk around with 30 lbs higher than his fight weight.
I just find the trashing in this forum hilarious in general. If he is to fight canelo, they say he should take the catchweight because he isn't A side, but when he takes fight which gains him enough popularity to be A side, they cry. I would prefer Eubank fight to this one, but considering this is his only option to fight in UK, he should absolutely take it. If he can pay say 6m to Saunders in a bout in UK, I don't think Saunders will decline that offer. That seems to be the goal.
He's getting $5m guaranteed payday
who wins this fantasy fight: Liam Smith vs Kell Brook @154

What does GGG gain? Massive popularity in UK. He can pay big money to Saunders for the belt after he is out to the UK fans. The PPV on that is gonna be massive and they can fill out much much bigger stadiums.
Much better than fighting another wade because Eubank ran away right?

It's a great opportunity with nothing to lose and good money.
Yeah Brook can lose the fight, he won't lose any credibility though, he's expected to lose. He has everything to gain. The question really should be what does GGG have to gain by beating Brook apart from money? nothing really.
I'm a fan of both and think the size difference isn't quite as big as some think but it does exist, Kell should be a 154 fighter but he can make 147, no way GGG could, so there IS a size difference.
So yeah, as it stands Kell is going up 2 weight classes no matter how naturally big he is. He's used to fighting 147 fighters. So he really is in a no lose situation in this fight in terms of his career and credibility.

First of all Kell is fast. It's deceptive because he changes punch speed all the time but don't doubt that he is fast. He counters with the best of them. Above average defense.
I think he expects to stay a step ahead of GGG and walk him into counters while taming him with the jab. Basically what Frampton did to LSC.
