The Lies Being Told By Eddie Hearn and Tom Loeffler

all these people with their conspiracy theories crack me up. This fight is actually the WORST scenario for Hearn and Loeffler.
Lets start with Hearn. Instead of cashing out his last fight with Eubank on a big PPV, now technically he still owes them a fight that he will likely make ZERO dollars on. And in addition, instead of Brook fighting Vargas, and likely ending up a unified champion at 147 and in a great position for Thurman, Garcia, etc, instead now he's going to get his brains bashed in at 160. Sure, its easy to say there is no shame in losing to GGG, but if Brook gets blown out his stock could take a HUGE hit, before Hearn has even made any real money on Brook yet.
And as for Loeffler, why on earth would he prefer Brook over Eubank? GGG likely ghouls both, but the bad PR on GGG-Brook is off the chain, and truthfully Brook is probably a tougher fight, if his chin holds up.
So im not sure why both Hearn and Loeffler would go to all this trouble just to take a worse fight. Makes no sense.......
But Arum said he hadn’t heard from Brook promoter Eddie Hearn in some time, and Hearn never alerted him he was going in a different direction, according to Arum. “We were (talking with them) but they’ve gone silent in the last week,” Arum said in a phone interview. “So that may very well be why.”
The decision by British voters on June 23 to exit the European Union — “Brexit” — complicated the deal in that Brook’s purse had to be modified, Arum said. “The only issue was we had a deal with Eddie and then we had the “Brexit” thing and then the question was — we had to adjust the purse and everything,” Arum commented. “But we were in the middle of doing that and then we didn’t hear from them.”Comment

I don't know what's fair but Jacibs should get more then he got for Quillen and Saunders holds the last belt so he has some leverage. But Brook is getting more then Saunders asked for but K2/ Gennady about getting all the beltsComment

I think the only people that thinks Jr a clown are K2 apologists trying to defend this pick

You're missing an obvious thing:. Team Ggg are not paying Brook, it's the other way around. He can't pay 4m for an opponent or even close, it's only possible due to UK ppv. Saunders got the same deal the more exciting fellow champ Lemieux got. Ditto Jacobs, and he doesn't even bring a belt for Ggg. I'm sure there's Ppv upside for both, so if Jacobs brings that much more interest, his final purse will reflect that. Quillin was a total disaster ratings and gate wise, it's only evidence he's not worth that muchComment

The Vargas fight was made a month ago and Brook still hadn't signed his end of the deal. Hearn set a deadline for Eubank Jr vs. GGG but didn't set a deadline for Brook vs. Vargas?
My next fight is confirmed for September 3rd in the UK vs Kell Brook. We are preparing for a KO victory and on becoming the #wbo & #ibf world champion. @dcblackkobra bigtexas4191 davidllevi Thank you for your support.

Why did it take Brook a month and still hadn't signed his contract?Comment

probably because I doubt Hearn had put one in front of him yet. My guess would be Hearn was operating off a verbal with Brook (its his own fighter so its not a big deal) until he could work out the provision of services with Arum, which he was unable to do.......Comment

Arum and Vargas said the fight was ready to go on their end. Bob was waiting on Hearn to get back with him because Hearn told Bob he had to adjust Kell's purse because of Brexit or something like that. But Hearn did the same type of thing with the Chaves fight. The fight was set to go and it was supposed to be broadcast on the undercard of Klitschko vs. Fury undercard. That fight got postponed and suddenly Brook pulled up lame with an injury. The Rios fight was also made but then there was some B.S. with the glove choices. For some reason when it comes to Brook it's always something else going on. And I think that relates back to what Hearn had said earlier. He'd never made a dime off of Brook and has millions invested in him. He said he overpaid Brook for his last three fights. I don't think Loeffler had anything to do with this but Hearn was saving Brook for his trump card. And he knew Loeffler would be in a position where he was forced to either move the date or take the fight. And for the amount of money being offered he took the fight.Comment
