    I think it was a mistake for Hearn to go to America anyway. He is killing it in the UK. Okolie - Chamberlain, Brook - Rab, Whyte - Browne, Khan return, Joshua Parker, Mystery April 14th show, and Haye Bellew 2, all in the first few months this year. Great lineup really.

    The human body can't just keep hydrating?

    You could have given Austin Trout 3 months and he still wouldn't have been as heavy as Jarrett Hurd post weigh in?

    There comes a point where you are just filling your bladder and your muscles are fully hydrated, the extra hours wouldn't have allowed Jacobs to put on more weight if he was already fully hydrated. He would have just felt more revived and comfortable.

    GGG had to drain down those extra hours which may have effected his performance but he still had more than enough time add the extra water?

    If you believe GGG was already fully hydrated at 170lbs then really he would have been comfortable as well?

    GGG is a massive 160lber despite HBO propaganda. He looks like a holocaust victim at weigh ins and then fight night he looks like a white Anthony Yarde. He obviously hydrates huge amounts.

    Agreed. imo 4/5 yr ago he could've cut to 154 and still been a monster. I think james5000 is on a downer with GGG down to the Eubank Jnr situation, and Jnr looking a tnuc !

    That's the last few fights, and purely age related. Peak GGG was a average size middle at best !

    I took no notice of your opinion the second you claimed Eubank JR and Quinlan was on 'free tv'....

    It was PPV....

    That's why he took a shot at the Eubanks.

    Never mind the fact that they also ducked GGG even though Hearn offered him to them before Brook.

    I didn't say it was on free tv

    Hearn made sure Brook got the pay day, made the deal impossible for the Eubanks

    nope, snr wanted the final say on everything, commentators, security ect and the first pound to drop to Jnr first pmsl. I wonder if he has the same requests for any of his other fights ??? No of course he doesn't. He was worried GGG would damage Jnr

    "Hearn said he would have been hung if he put Eubank vs Quinlan on free TV, and he has never had a better card on free tv which is pathetic really?"


    I could find you 20+ non-ppv cards which were better than Eubank v Quinlan......

    I have responded to posts like this 100s of times.

    The excuses Hearn gave were pathetic

    Eubank said Hearn initially talked about ticket prices and McGuigan as a commentator wasn't a deal breaker, even if it was why not have him he's a legend.

    Jr hadn't even headlined a big show before so what happened in the past means little.

    Hearn likes to claim that the fighters own the PPV so why can't they make some decisions? Sounds bs if you ask me.

    Its all on video with IFL, its not my opinion, it's fact. Snr made a fool of himself and Jnr. The first pound to drop to Jnr ???? What on earth makes him think he can pull that??Its unprecedented in boxing, and either an obstacle to stop the fight or Snr has seriously deep down mental health problems ! The same deal that Jnr was offered was snapped up by Brook !
