Here's the thing though. Brook was heavier than GGG on fight night and weigh in.
Khan was outweighed by 20 lbs. But GGG, relatively hits quite a bit harder and applies more pressure than Canelo, but I don't think it was that crazy. It was a gamble, not an insane gamble, but a gamble that didn't pay off.

hearn and brook's management could have taken an easier fight and built toward the khan fight for a lot of money in late '17 or early '18. they could have taken a fight at a catchweight to allow brook to adjust back to 147. spence, porter, thurman, pacquiao, those guys will still be fighting next year.
TS may very well be right. hearn made him a lot of money, but two tough fights in a row, dropping two weight classes, against two punches who break orbital bones on both sides of your face probably ends your career as a top fighter. i mean FFS a world class boxer just quit. the only fighter i can think of who went on to have legitimately great wins after quitting was roberto duran.

Idk what the leg would be to stand on. Are you suggesting Brook doesn't have a say or Hearn forced him into GGG & then Spence? Whats your evidence of that?
Hearn is all over the internet saying before this fight thinking it wasn't the best move so Brook vetoed him right there I know that much 100%.

no, that would be a straw man and frankly the rhetoric of somebody who doesn't undestand a ton about boxing management and administration.
