Comments Thread For: Eubank Jr. Should Pass on DeGale and Fight Golovkin, Says Hearn

This would be an awful fight why is Hearn into these mismatches

Even this version of GGG would end Eubanks crappy career for him. Degale is a strong UK option and would put Eubank in a strong position if he won the fight (which I doubt he can). Eubank is an Instagram fighter, hard to take him seriously at the top level.

DeGale-Eubank Jr. is a very good grudge match. Fairly evenly matched and would do good business in the UK, could even end up on ITV Box Office and get big exposure. No doubt that idea scares Eddie Hearn. In my opinion, at this stage, it would be a 50-50 fight. Whoever wins would be in a great position. No wonder Hearn would rather Eubank Jr. boil down to 160 and go to America to be the B-side against Gennady Golovkin, with all the cards stacked against him. Even if he didn't lose, it would be on BoxNation at about 5 in the morning, and people would say Golovkin is shot.

Zero chance this is happening. None. Makes no sense for Golovkin at this point of his career. Eubank was offered the fight when it went to Kell Brook. Golovkin was willing to fight Eubank in England, but Eubank was not interested in the money offered. Brook jumped at the challenge. back then, Eubank was an interesting fighter and Golovkin was looking for names and recognition to further his career. Now? Nah. Eubank might have a nice run left in him, but Golovkin is on a time crunch and has only a couple of wars left in him. He needs big money matches.

Chris Eubank Junior would be Canelo and 160 or 168. Infact stylistically, that match up would probably produce the fight of the year. In reality Eubank Junior is a 160 pound fighter.

When will Golovkin decide which network to join? If Eubank I imagine PBC. Showtime have been tempting PPV which I believe Loeffler and Abel like. For Callum Smith DAZN and that includes Canelo later? Golovkin is not a PPV fighter DAZN would be the best deal, surely..... then again, DAZN will want him to fight Jacobs Andrade Charlo-level opponents

The only thing Eubank has going for him is his gas tank. He should have gotten into being a boxercise coach Haha yeah he's a beast filming videos on the punch bag. A punch bag doesn't move or hit back though. I wouldn't mind him so much if he wasn't so deluded about how good he is, but because he is, I'll always think he's a complete **** and celebrate whenever he has to face reality and lose.

I mean Brook/Khan on PPV is still doable since they have big enough names and some beef to do good numbers. Degale/Eubank though? I can't see that PPV doing more than 50k buys, and that may be pushing it. How many buys did Eubank/Groves do? Apparently around 60k

O.k. Yes agreed Eubank /Degale should not be PPV and as you say probably will be and unfortunately (please don't ask me why) there's talk of Khan/Brook that will definitely be. Placing two broken fighters well past their sell by dates opposite each other for around £5m each and the suckers here will lap it up....personally I won't part with a bean for either!

So what I'm saying is that Eubank/Degale should NOT be on PPV in the UK which it in all likelihood will be. I am aware you guys are getting the Broner/Pacman fight on ITV4, but should Eubank/Degale not also be on ITV and not ITV Box Office? Will it even do 50k buys in the UK? O.k.

Wait, wait, wait haha Hearn thinks Eubank Jr should fight GGG next over DeGale lol I mean this is the same guy whom got his @$$ handed to him by Groves!! No Way! This is a set up to make GGG look unstoppable again in order to promote the trilogy with Canelo!! Eubank definitely has a better chance to beat DeGale.

Sorry PBC/ITV are shwing two fights for free , this inc. here are you saying it will be PPV in the US ? and 50k where?

Yeah, but that's not a UK fight. The US PBC shows will be free, but I'm sure this fight will be on PPV....And it absolutely not should be on PPV. This will be the first live show in the UK after the PBC/ITV deal. Does this even do 50k buys?

I agree with him that Eubank hasn't had the right guidance so in his career. But I don't think a fight with GGG would be a good idea either. He'd get wrecked. I really don't get what the deal is with him. He trains with Floyd Sr for a few weeks and then goes back to the UK. Is there an issue here with him wanting to train back home and not in the states? Because I'm pretty sure Sr won't leave Vegas to go to the UK to train Eubank. But his pops pretty much runs the show. Even becomes his trainer on fight nights and he's not cut out for that.

Manny v Broner free to air ITV Yeah, but that's not a UK fight. The US PBC shows will be free, but I'm sure this fight will be on PPV....And it absolutely not should be on PPV. This will be the first live show in the UK after the PBC/ITV deal. Does this even do 50k buys?

Nah, the Degale fight is perfect for him. Actually perfect for both fighters. Why the hell would GGG want to fight Eubank at this point? I'm just not sure how this fight will be PPV in England though. A match up like this one at this point of both their careers being on PPV just seems dirty as hell. Would be a hell of a PBC/ITV opener though. Manny v Broner free to air ITV

Why on earth would top flight G. be interested in fighting Eubank Jr. . Degale is about finished therefore they are a perfect match .....PPV NOT!
