Comments Thread For: DeGale: I Look Forward To Beating Golovkin, Brook Must Use Speed

[Eastcoast]

Today is the deadline for Jack/DeGale to be made. Later today the WBC will mandate Callum Smith to fight Badou Jack.

You might see DeGale take a voluntary defense and then fight the winner, but Jack has said that he planned on moving up after this fight.

im the idiot, but ggg's prmoter just said degales name and it is the top article on boxingscene this morning......irony bru...irony.

why am i a boxing fan, if i dont know that u can negotiate with more than one person at a time and select the best option?? ARE U FUGGIN TROLLING ME?? or just fuggin ******...

GGG's team mentions DeGale because DeGale himself has shown interest in some day taking that fight...he said he'd take the fight at 168 long before they even tried negotiating a Chris Eubank Jr. fight. The video is out there if you want to put in an ounce of effort. DeGale said it himself...he'd fight GGG. But he was never, ever available to fight in London in November due to an ongoing negotiation to unify against Badou Jack. That's why I called you an idiot. DeGale was never on the table for November. Hearn knows this better than you or i...he's his f#ckin promoter ffs. If Hearn had offered DeGale when it seemed Eubank wasn't going to sign the contract, I'm sure GGG would have taken that fight as well. But as it stands, & Hearn backs this claim up if you ever want to do some research on it, that DeGale was not available to fight GGG. Of course you can negotiate with several different promotions at once. But in the end, only one can be chosen. And since Hearn knows the situation better, he never offered up DeGale...he offered up Kell Brook. And this is after GGG was ducked by Canelo, Saunders, & Jacobs. Kell Brook was the 5th option that K2 had to settle for. You understand now?
