    Of course he isn't, but he's the one that set everything up in the UK for the Eubank fight. Hearn promotes both Eubank and Brook, so when it was clear Eubank wasn't going to happen, Hearn offered Brook to step in. Everything was exactly the same just the name changed to Brook. If Eubank vs Golovkin was being worked on for a US fight in New York or wherever, than it would solely be on K2 to promote everything , secure the venue, etc etc. If that were the case, Brook probably wouldn't have made any sense to take. What sold this fight to k2 was it's in the UK and the exact same deal in place that they negotiated for Eubank. All they did was change the name to Brook. It was an easy for k2 to take Brook because they literally didn't have to do anything since all the details were already in place and ironed out.

      Stop blaming them, they only take what they're given. The mods are useless, almost impossible to have an actual conversation but sure all they care about is traffic to the site.

        Let's not act like GGG is actively seeking out welters.. Every major,middleweight passed and Eubanks had the fight and passed, Hearn just happens to have welter champ Brook, the accepted the terms that Eubanks rejected.. This is more of great timing and coincidence for,Brook than ggg looking to beatdown welters. If spence was with Hearn, spence maybe would get the fight

          i completely understand hearn offering brook, but at the end it was eubank who screw that for hearn, it wasnt gggs fault , ggg could just move into something else and let hearn deal with his own fighters... and i agree that it was easy for k2 to take the exact same deal, but taking the easy way is not always the best ... still you made valid points ... i just have to agree to disagree...

            I'm not saying it was the right thing to do either, I don't know what the right thing to do was - tough situation to be in. Take a good deal on the table after negotiating for about a month with Eubank or walk away and hope to find something fast, with a good chance of just having to sit out for a while and not fight till November or December. Either way it's not what anyone wanted for Golovkin. Good news is it's just one fight with the potential of more UK fights to come later as a result like DeGale for example. They better hope to get a significant middleweight fight after Brook or just fight Ramirez at 168 at least. I'm sure K2 is well aware of the backlash around Brook.

              GGG didn't want no part of no slick American dude

              He knew his caveman skills would be shown up so he went for a British guy who everyone knows ain't slick

              Yet another black supremacist speaking wonders of the slick American style.

                agree with you, this is like canelo-khan, wait until is over, hide it under the rug and move over, really nothing to brag about it...

                    That doesn't take away that he is always praising the American slick style and making troll threads like this one. BTW you are also a black supremacist always praising the American slick style. When was the last time you picked a non black fighter to beat a black man? I bet only in cases where it was too obvious the black guy would lose. Supremacist isn't a racist term for you 2, not when you're always backing the black guy and making and defending troll threads like this one.

                      Spence just beat that crossfit guy Aligieri and you want to put him in with a guy that has a brick for a head, hits like a mule and outweighs him 15lbs? Spence could be a superstar, in what universe does this make sense?
