Eddie Hearn Announces for Sept 12: Brook Vs .....

[gamefrk]

So who is it gonna be? Rios or Mayweather?

[LacedUp]

The "autumn" fight is Joshua vs Wach and the "looks like Sept 12th" was a direct response to "when is Brook fighting?"

Arum Rios is likely to go with an other option on Top Rank PPV on Sept 26. Rios doesn't want to go head to head with Floyd.

He said he was going to go with a Brooks & DeGale double header and that one of them would be in a major fight. My personal wish is for DeGale/Golovkin. I think Brooks/Rios is just going to be a beatdown on Rios.

It's against Rios

[PlasterWraps]

On the Mayweather undercard, otherwise this makes no sense. Not even Arum is senile enough to go h2h with Mayweather's "retirement" fight

[Greed.]

That's a good point. It would be a tape delay on HBO, so it would clash with the Mayweather PPV. In that case, can he face any high profile US based fighter on September 12th? The best bet would be showtime again but the Dan fight did bad numbers so they might not be keen.

It wouldn't clash with a Mayweather fight. Because the fight would come on at 4pm eastern time here in america.

Floyd fights at 11 pm eastern time.

It's perfect for an hbo afternoon telecast live from the uk.

Showtime ppv later that night

Nothing in that post confirms anything new ....

Matchroom Sport is running a show at the O2, in London on September 12th. Severale weeks ago, Hearn made it rather clear, depending on how certain things shakeout, the O2 show will feature a big UK fight and Anthony Joshua taking a step up.

Joshua-Wach is a meaningful fight for Sept 12th, but that's the only new bit.

If Brook gets the Mayweather fight, the Sept 12th O2 show gets headlined by James Degale(c) vs Smith/Rebrasse or Fielding/Vera winner, with Joshua-Wach as the chief support with British fights under that (with the timing of things, the full O2 event would be on PPV, with the full Mayweather-Brook card following it).

If Brook doesn't get the Mayweather fight, he headlines the O2 show, with Joshua-Wach as the chief support. (with the UK PPv exclusively focused on UK fights)

Who gives a crap about the date? Two boring clinching festivals in one night.
