Comments Thread For: Hearn: I'm Certain Eubank Jr. Didn't See Golovkin Contract

[hrt3333]

Could you guys just take it back and give Eubank Jr the deal if he wants it? Better style and he's the right size. Please?

So who is lying?

Days ago this site is flooded with news articles about GGG camp waiting for Eubanks' signature. Now he denies seeing a contract. Do this media ever verify the other side's story before presenting news? They could have contacted Eubanks' side about the contract first.

Well, at least Hearn is being honest about that. This situation reads like Hearn bailed on Eubank negotiations while they were working out the final details, in order to push Brook though.
Considering Hearn's relationship with Eubank Jr, I'm not entirely surprised that he'd pull the rug out from under him.

Pretty much this^^^^, I think they have a two fight deal. One already gone and one left, they have previously left Hearn at the table when they went to Hennessy promotions for a few fights. Don't think Hearn believe they are loyal people so he threw them under the bus. At the end of the day GGG v Eubank sell more PPV than a GGG-Brook fight, the Eubank would have sold that fight to the end of the world. I doubt GGG-Brook do 75% of what GGG - Eubank would have done.

And after GGG beats Brook I could see him and Eubank going at it without Hearn

Someone that's not a freakin welterweight. Jeszuz why do people still defend this crap

I'm not defending it. I don't like it. I just see very few better choices.

Respond with your list of better choices as it's so obvious.

It's a horrible fight but starting a whole new negotiation process is time consuming and throws off any potential fight schedule.

Who should they have started negotiations with and how quickly would they have gone through? Lara's about the only decent person who might be available and he is also a smaller fighter who'd be moving up. He demands a lot with not a lot being brought to the table. For what it's worth I'd rather have seen Lara but with no guarantees that the demands of all parties could be made I'd probably accept the immediate offer with all logistics covered. It's quite a good set up to have the venue, great likelihood of big seat and view sales, undercard, etc, etc all covered.

Not happy with it but he's now been turned down or avoided by every middleweight of any standing.

so what, it's a **** fight ?

So what ?

So, delay the **** schedule, and the **** fight..... and make a better one.

According to Hearn, if both fighters want it, a fight takes 24 hours to make.

For how many more years will I need to listen to these silly excuses ?

All ggg's team had to do is say NO to the brook fight.

I reiterate; Make the fight with whom?

I keep wanting to criticize this fight too. I don't like Kell Brook and won't be sorry to see him sparked but that's the only upside I can see to this.

Who should GGG fight? Lara is all I've got and he's got no fanbase, no great cache, isn't a middleweight either and is also likely to price himself really high according to reports. I'm not even going to consider the whole 'network' thing as I don't follow it or care but I'm generally told it's an issue.

Who? I'm expecting a list of available, viable, reputable fighters.

You're dealing with a gnat that was last week was saying that Ggg ducked Brook, as well as Canelo, Floyd, Sergio Mora etc. I **** you not. Total waste of your time

You are off your rocker if you think that Kell Brook is the best available opponent for..... well, anyone quite frankly..... including most welters.

Get real, why ask me a question like that?

How about 1) Canelo?..... no way should the guy who ran around saying this for FOUR YEARS..... "anyone from 154-158"..... have ended up killing his biggest payday over the weight. It is totally inconceivable that they killed that fight over the weight..... 2) Jacobs/Saunders?..... they got caught lying about the Saunders offer, and Jacobs said they low-balled him...... 3) how about some of the SMW's that they have been bull****ting about for years..... 4) how about Lara?..... and no, don't reply and repeat the same weak excuses that team Bull**** used to kill talk of that fight.

Canelo did not make those silly excuses to avoid Lara, and he is waaaay bigger than lil'G in terms of star-power..... those Lara-excuses are fkn shameful.
