Comments Thread For: Eubank Jr. Should Pass on DeGale and Fight Golovkin, Says Hearn

[thack]

Yeah, but that's not a UK fight. The US PBC shows will be free, but I'm sure this fight will be on PPV....And it absolutely not should be on PPV. This will be the first live show in the UK after the PBC/ITV deal.

Does this even do 50k buys?

Sorry PBC/ITV are shwing two fights for free , this inc. here are you saying it will be PPV in the US ? and 50k where?

So what I'm saying is that Eubank/Degale should NOT be on PPV in the UK which it in all likelihood will be. I am aware you guys are getting the Broner/Pacman fight on ITV4, but should Eubank/Degale not also be on ITV and not ITV Box Office? Will it even do 50k buys in the UK?

Wait, wait, wait haha Hearn thinks Eubank Jr should fight GGG next over DeGale lol I mean this is the same guy whom got his @$$ handed to him by Groves!! No Way! This is a set up to make GGG look unstoppable again in order to promote the trilogy with Canelo!! Eubank definitely has a better chance to beat DeGale.

O.k. Yes agreed Eubank /Degale should not be PPV and as you say probably will be and unfortunately (please don't ask me why) there's talk of Khan/Brook that will definitely be. Placing two broken fighters well past their sell by dates opposite each other for around £5m each and the suckers here will lap it up....personally I won't part with a bean for either!

I mean Brook/Khan on PPV is still doable since they have big enough names and some beef to do good numbers. Degale/Eubank though? I can't see that PPV doing more than 50k buys, and that may be pushing it.

How many buys did Eubank/Groves do?

Apparently around 60k

The only thing Eubank has going for him is his gas tank. He should have gotten into being a boxercise coach

Haha yeah he's a beast filming videos on the punch bag. A punch bag doesn't move or hit back though.
I wouldn't mind him so much if he wasn't so deluded about how good he is, but because he is, I'll always think he's a complete **** and celebrate whenever he has to face reality and lose.

When will Golovkin decide which network to join?

If Eubank I imagine PBC. Showtime have been tempting PPV which I believe Loeffler and Abel like.

For Callum Smith DAZN and that includes Canelo later?

Golovkin is not a PPV fighter

DAZN would be the best deal, surely.....

then again, DAZN will want him to fight Jacobs Andrade Charlo-level opponents

[PRINCEKOOL]

Chris Eubank Junior would be Canelo and 160 or 168.

Infact stylistically, that match up would probably produce the fight of the year.

In reality Eubank Junior is a 160 pound fighter.

Zero chance this is happening. None. Makes no sense for Golovkin at this point of his career. Eubank was offered the fight when it went to Kell Brook. Golovkin was willing to fight Eubank in England, but Eubank was not interested in the money offered. Brook jumped at the challenge. back then, Eubank was an interesting fighter and Golovkin was looking for names and recognition to further his career. Now? Nah. Eubank might have a nice run left in him, but Golovkin is on a time crunch and has only a couple of wars left in him. He needs big money matches.
