    Surely has to take it financially will be made for life, it's a no lose situation he is expected to get murdered, even if he loses but does it valiantly it will gain some credit

    Could tie it in with Ward v Kovalev across the pond as a ppv double header.

    I can't agree with that, the Eubank's play the publicity game, just because he says it doesn't mean he actually wants it, Golovkins name is a very good way of getting your name mentioned.

    Also Jr shouted about a rematch with Saunders and that was agreed in principle and they went silent and walked away, then they were very vocal about Jacobs and walked away and went back to British title level.

    If the fight doesn't happen it's because the Eubank's didn't want it, for whatever reason, it could be he just isn't ready right now but it's been pretty much said Golovkins side are happy with everything and it's waiting on Jr.

    The reason I don't think it happens in September is because with respect Tom Doran isn't exactly ideal preparation for Golovkin, I wouldn't be surprised if Jr wants to win the Lonsdale belt outright and it happens after the new year.

    He can't go from being an undercard to a ppv fight can he?

    Golovkin would have him out of there within 5. Jr has rubbish footwork, only fights for half a round at a time and is technically very average.

    FW is on record saying they rejected the Golovkin fight before. It's difficult to tell with the Eubank team as they do say all sorts of things. Either way, let's say it does happen - I really don't think he has had anywhere near the right sort of prep for this.

    I have no doubts that GGG's team will be willing if they can't get Saunders or Jacobs in the ring. It all depends on the Eubanks. Sadly, I think they have no intention of taking the fight and are merely using GGG's name to garner publicity. Seriously hope I'm mistaken.

    Jacobs decided to rematch Mora so that fight is gone unfortunately
