It was a very smart move by the Eubanks in not signing a long term promotional contract. Had they have done so, Hearn would not have made this fight at this point. He would've been looking to protect his long term interest.
They've made the promoter work for them (as apoosed to what usually happens despite the rhetoric) by stating that any future working relationship depends on Matchroom getting them the fight that they want right now.
Fair play to them. I'd like to see others displaying the bravery to follow suit. Boxing would be much better for it.

Definitely a big gamble. If we remember back to the start of his career Sr. was making sure he was in with guys that would test him in some way. He's never wanted him to have an easy ride.
Do you think a loss would have too much of a negative effect on his career given the current mood? Are we not all that sick of fighters avoiding each other that anyone who steps in with the best challenge they can would automatically earn our support and respect?
For the record, Jr doesn't appeal to me either in the ring or out. If they make this fight though, I'm onboard. I'd have no choice, they would have done what's right for the sport.Last edited by - Ram Raid -; 06-24-2016, 09:00 AM.

If the GGG vs Jr. bout happens there will be naysayers. Eubanks not an elite fighter, etc...
This is a good match. Who else can GGG draw in for a fight? Canelo, Jacob, Billy Joe? They're not willing to risk it...
GGG is the MW champion who's willing to go the UK; on challenger's soil, to defend his titles.

We don't even know what kind of money K2 is offering the fighters that are supposed to be ducking that old BUM.

Where else can GGG make any good money besides Canelo?.
Alvarez will get paid fighting anybody...he doesn't need GGG for anything.
Alvarez is almost a full decade younger than GGG with plenty more options.
Golovkin should have taken the catchweight like Hopkins did w/Oscar.

Double standards....
