    Just seen the most recent IFL interview with Mr Hearn. According to him, team Golovkin have agreed the financial package and to travel to England.

    As a huge Golovkin fan, I'd love to see him perform in England, but this has strains of Kell 'mandatory' Brook's call out of Golovkin for me, as in linking yourself to 'GGG' to gloss over sub-par opponents like Bizier and Doran.

    Immediately after saying that Golovkin had agreed terms Eddie said the fight will happen ''if everybody really wants it,'' obviously meaning team Eubank. What do you think guys? More BS from the Eubanks, or a genuine possibility?

    If Eubank agrees then I'm going to have to attend :yep

    We will see if Jr really is the real deal in every possible way. They have been shouting loud enough for Golovkin and they have basically got it so if they do turn it down then they have no excuses.

    And if he does take it then we will see just how good his chin is because he has almost no defence and Golovkin will find him.

    I have a feeling Doran will prove a problem for Cej. If so they might go back to the drawing board and have a few more "learning" fights before he is ready for the big boys.....

    Agreed. You and N17 have it spot on. Hearn just publicly served the ball hard and fast into the court of Eubank. In all honesty I think it's a publicity stunt that's backfired, but if it did happen I'd be right there with you in desperately trying to get a ticket to see Golovkin in person.

    Can they do that len after both Eubanks slated Golovkin's technical ability and demanded the fight? Then again this is a guy who became WBA mandatory before dropping back down to domestic level, so who knows.

    You have been saying every **** beats CEJ, **** no Doran gets comatosed, this shouldn't even be sanctioned. Doran is in danger, I hope he quits early before he takes a life threatening beating.

    I have yet to find any info on Hearn saying GGG has agreed to anything, all Hearn has said is

    "We are in deep negotiations with Tom Loeffler (Golovkin’s promoter). We’ve given them a wonderful deal, we are pretty much agreed. We’ve got to beat Tom Doran next Saturday and then if everyone really wants that fight, it will get made"


    That doesn't say GGG has agreed to anything

    I'd say Doran is worse than Blackwell so Eubank finishes him in six.

    As for Hearn, a lot depends on how he can manage expectations with Sr, I fancy he'd favour three or four more fights before GGG but his contract is only for three fights total.

    An early KO loss for Eubank could end his marketability as a PPV fighter for Sky. Interesting times but I'd bet GGG isn't fighting Eubank this year.

    If he doesn't fight GGG thats because GGG don't want none, and that will all be on him

    Eubank jr is shouting for it from the roof tops

    A loss will hurt but it isn't a career definer, imagine what a win will do though.

    GGG is p4p top 3, Jr will take his spot you would have to say, even the haters will have to admit he is atleast p4p top 3, maybe even no1

    Right on. Team Eubank have been calling for Golovkin for a while now. So, if GGG and K2 call Eubank's bluff and offer him the fight, and Eubank Jr subsequently bottles it, Junior will be making himself look like a massive tart. :lol:
