Comments Thread For: Hearn Disagrees That Eubank-Benn Is Comparable To Golovkin-Brook

[IronDanHamza]

benn is the real deal and eubank jr isnt GGG. its a lazy comparison made by morons on here.

Normally someone who's the "real deal" has beaten somone in the Top 10 in his weight class.

[A.B Counterhooks]

Well eubank jr aint nowhere near golovkin level thats for sure

[Corelone]

This is as good as any of the Paul fights. I think it's an easy sell. The US market is wide open, but can Eddy hawk it? Two black men with English accents? Pure late night gold.

Made at 157 and Eubank struggles to make 160 .Our sport is dangerous enough with out this money grab bollocks. When Brook fought GGG he was IBF welterweight champ and GGG was unified middleweight champ , these two clowns haven't won a title between them in their own divisions. Their dads should be embarrassed .I was there at the NEC the night of the 1st Benn v Eubank fight 1990 , now that was the real deal this is just a smash and grab.

Thoughts on potential undercard? Good chance of Gorman v wardley, Harlem Eubank, Felix Cash

Kell Brook fought Golovkin at 160 pounds, not 156 pounds with a re-hydration clause.

Because the thinking will be, that if and when their both champions, there's an easy to make unification fight there. Their not gonna get unification fights with PBC champions, so it kinda makes sense.

Yeah but they never made Munguia vs. Andrade, nor Ryan Garcia vs. Haney, when Haney was still at MatchRoom! Add to that, if Hearn had his way, they wouldn't be doing Bivol vs. Zurdo either. How do you explain all that?

What's to explain? The Ryan Garcia and Munguia situations are well documented. Those are fights Haney and Andrade respectively wanted. That was all Golden Boys doing. And I know you know that as we had conversations on it before. And I'm not gonna try and defend him for the Zurdo situation. It's the same scenario as was happening to Leigh Wood but against him. So it's a bit hypocritical. But suffice to say, they all try it, so it's not as if he's guilty of something exclusive to him.

You said "...there's an easy unification fight for them to make." I'm showing you that it's not that easy! GBP and MatchRoom have not had an "easy" partnership, even though both are on DAZN. It really isn't any easier than making a fight with PBC.

Of course, nothing is ever easy, but they are on the same network, therefore it's as easy as it gets. For Matchroom, making a fight with PBC is an impossibility. They hate Hearn. To coin one of your phrases, it's no bueno. And GBP aren't going to have any more success. As the PBC philosophy is to do in-house fights. And if there were an extremely rare time they might consider a fight with a non PBC fighter, it's on Showtime and Showtime only. That leaves little room for negotiation. It's dictating terms, and take it or leave it. Matchroom and GBP have more chance of making a fight. There was just one at the weekend at 147. And there will need to be more. Because neither Benn or Ortiz jr, will get to fight any PBC fighter, except perhaps if a vacant title match up is ordered. And there will definitely not be any unification fights. As where, Benn and Ortiz jr can unify if they become champions. That's why they have no interest in each other so far. Imo.
