A week before Lil G chose Brook.

A week before Lil G chose Brook.

A week after saying he didn't want the fight for another 18 months. Also, the same week talks with with Eubank had became public.

I'm sure he was sincere though

Did they enquire before choosing Brook? I doubt it. Did they enquire about Degale? Nope. Lara? Nope. No options though.

Examples of fighters being called ducks for not going up in weight when the guy negotiating with turns tail 2 months from fight date?

Zurdo had a fight against a bum scheduled then dropped out with hand injury, dummy. Out 5 months. Follow boxing any?

Not enough that I would write something lame as that, but then again I have other interests. No offer was made while negotiations were going well or choppy, they put all of their eggs in one basket. Didn't mention DeGale at all either until now.

Good promoters have 2 or 3 options open just in case one falls through. I think K2 did too and Brook was one of them all along.

K2 are not the lead promoter for GGG vs Brook. The lead promoter is Eddie Hearn and it was Hearn who picked Brook to replace Eubank.

How many times do you need to be told that?

K2 are the promoter of Golovkin and if you think they didn't discuss a back up option (Brook) with Hearn when in negotiations with Eubank you're a moron. Brook and Vargas negotiations were delayed for this. Makes perfect sense.

So what?

Eddie Hearn is still the lead promoter, not K2, and it was Hearn who picked Brook to replace Eubank.

Hearn can't make Golovkin fight anyone, Golovkin isn't signed to Hearn. Golovkin chose to accept that fight. He chose not to try and get DeGale, he chose not to try and get Lara, he chose Brook. Not Hearn, Golovkin chose Brook.

Nobody can make anybody fight anybody. If that's the best answer you can come up with, you might as well just give up.

Golovkin signed to fight Eubank Jnr, which most people thought was a great match-up. But Eubank wouldn't sign the contract, so Golovkin accepted Brook on the same terms.

Those are the facts. Now spin away.
