Brook is big, probably better than eubank. Eubank denied the fight. I'm happy for brook he deserves a fight like this.
That's ****ing ridiculous. A fine WW talent in Brook is going to get a career altering KO, and we still don't get to see GGG against a top level MW.
Vargas is an idiot for pricing himself out of the fight. Eddie should have got catch weight at the bare minimum
This is mega as Kell Brook is a big lad,wonder what the story is here,sounds like Hearn had Vargas demanding more money and Eubank was never gonna play so just maybe behind Eubanks back and Vargas HeRn and Loeffler have sorted this between em,I actually like it as Kell Brook is really stepping up here.
Its a BIG PPV fight in the UK...so big money. And Brook can just go back down to WW and still has his title. Gotta say I didn't expect this - this is like when Khan announced he was fighting Canelo !! Probably a similar result for the smaller man. And Eubank can sit and watch and keep talking.......
Didn't see this coming. At All. I'll give Brook credit - he's got *****. GGG will give him the business though.
