Hearn full Interview on Golovkin vs Brook vs. Eubank

[sunny31]

Brilliant candid interview. Going into the costings of how to put together shows was really good. Boxing promoters never go into this because they rip off fighters, but you can tell that the Hearn's conduct themselves in a proper way when it comes to the financials of boxers. The rest of the promoters out there are probably cursing Hearn for being so honest and revealing.

4 mins in i turned the interview off

Firstly Chaves signed up to face Brook....Brook pulled out

Lemont Peterson was willing to come and fight Brook, Hearn confirmed this in a previous interview

Spence's team called Hearn and said they will take the Brook fight in the UK....Hearn told them he is negotiating with Vargas...and used Vargas an an excuse to not want to make the Spence fight happen

Berto was willing to come to the UK, Hearn mentioned this in a interview

So this MYTH that nobody wants to face Brook is just that a MYTH

Berto, Petterson, Chaves Spence are more credible than Jo Jo Dan, Frankie Gavin and Kevin Bizier

Its just Eddie Hearn is scared to throw Brook in the ring with boxers who have nothing to lose.....He has stated on numerous occasions that he has made "NO MONEY FROM BROOK"....So now he is cashing Brook out against GGG.

I am not saying Brook is scared, but Hearn has no faith in Brooks abilities...Hearn wants to get paid first before he takes a risk with his investment....As a promoter/friend he should have advised Brook not to take this fight.

You should have listened to the whole interview and learned a thing or two. Instead you call Hearn a liar without even watching it. You don't like him, we get it, but I've never seen a promoter be so open about the details and financials - I found the whole interview fascinating.

Hearn is clearly telling the truth, he even gives the numbers that he offered Vargas, Broner and Garcia to come and fight Brook.

Just because someone says 'I'll fight so-and-so' doesn't mean that fight can get made. If it's so easy why don't you become a promoter and make all these easy top fights.

Exactly and he has gone into detail in an open forum where he can be challenged if someone wants to retort his version of events. He would have been aware of this point before he gave this interview so its hard not to believe what he is saying when it came to Eubank, etc.

Spence's team wanted to fight their mandatory for the eliminator. Why would they want to fight Brook when they had to beat a bum to become his mandatory, thus get more $/leverage.

Berto sucks. Who has he beat? He's looked terrible vs top level fighters. He beat Josesito Lopez and a washed up headcase in Ortiz. Sells no tickets and doesn't really gain any traction with the casuals.

Nobody credible was around to fight him. You have to be objective and state the facts. He fought those 3, one to get his mandatory out of the way for bigger fights, one which was after he had a serious leg injury and the other came just 3 months after to stay active after his injury and get back into the thick of things. His break after that WAS an issue.

Garcia won't fight him. Won't come to the UK and theres **** all money to be made in the States.
I don't know if Thurman would fight him in the UK, he is targeting Garcia I think.
Spence wants to fight him I think but wants to be in that mandatory position.
Khan won't fight him.
Porter would but why would Brook take that fight, been there done that.
Bradley is missing post Pac.

Berto would be Brooks second best win....so if he sucks then what does that say about the 36 other fighters on Brooks resume?

Spence's team called Hearn and said they wanted the fight, i made a thread about it weeks ago. Hearn said they were in "deep" negotiations with Vargas. Spence also confirmed in a interview with The Boxing Voice, that Brook had chosen to go with Vargas instead of him.

Brook has been looking for a big/cash out fight for quite sometime, be it with Khan, or Cotto or GGG. He just wants that "money" fight.

Brook/Hearn are scared to take a risk against a "decent" name for little reward....

Look how they played Chaves

At this moment in time fighting a Beto, Petterson, Chaves etc... comes with a risk and has the potential to derail Brooks career. Hearn is not ******, he's fed Brook to GGG for 20% of the profit.

Hearn is cashing in his investment.

[Box-Office]

Eubank Jr should pull a Shawn Michaels from 2004, show up at the press conference and give Brook a sweet chin music, sign his name on the contract and make it a triple threat

[LacedUp]

I would like to hear his side of the story, Eubank sr is definitely a deluded person but I still want to hear what he has to say. They were suppose to be getting 20% of the PPV money with sky keeping 80% according to Hearn. Hopefully the interview can be done.

Definitely.

Although Hearn said 80% Eubank and 20% Matchroom.
