    hearn went behind his back and did the deal with brook

    hearn makes more money with brook vs ggg
    I seriously doubt this.

    Likeliness is that Eubank stalled/wanted too much/just being a pain, GGG was going to go, Hearn asked what about Brook, they said fine, he asked Brook, he said fine - they made the fight.

    I 100% believe Eubank was the priority.

      it was eddie hearn who offered the fight to brook because eubank was asking for too much
      Eubanks said that was ready to go just waiting for matchroom to send over contracts.

      Hearn snaked them.

        So basically they (most likely Snr) priced themselves out?

        Seems like Hearn made the best out of a bad situation to me.

          There ya go, Eubank was offered 4m and balked, so he's going back to fighting on undercards for 70k

              Im interested to see what Hearn has to say or if he avoids this subject and lets Eubank burn
              Some saying it was a money thing and Eubank wanted idk how much but a certain amount from every ppv sold. But ya, Hearn will have to answer questions.

                  Reports coming out now that Eubank's team did receive a contract and didn't sign.

                  Brook stepped in .

                    Jr already tweeted he never got a contract. Kell probably took the fight for less money because it's the only way he can get a big fight.
