    Forgive me if I don't weep for the finances of a man with a net worth of $25m Loudon.

    I think it's quite clear that Hearn wanted this fight over the CEJ one as soon as he knew GGG was open to a fight with Brook. They could have used this to force Eubank's hand but instead took the easy option IMO.

    I'd have rather started the search for an opponent from scratch than entertain this farce.

    Fair enough.

    All I feel is that if Eubank had agreed to the deal upfront, GGG would have been fighting Eubank. Which is the fight that we all wanted.

    He's 34. He can't be idle. He needs to stay active, which he has over the years.

    so what changed? brook went from being too small to being big welter who can easily handle this without being much of a size difference

    I didn't say lowercase gee was ducking eubank...I just don't think that fight was ever serious...this is the one they preferred.....eubank is a domestic level mw.....and he doesn't fit the mold of a "mandatory" or "champion".....

    what does hearn being eubanks promoter, and not gggs, have to do with anything??..hearn also promotes brook...

    why did eubank tweet that he never saw a contract and that the brook fight is a joke?

    who else was willing to fight GGG at that time please tell me?

    saunders basically admitted GGG was the king and he might not be ready

    lara? the guy who was never serous fighting GGG all he did was speak a fantacy dream

    Lara is with haymon and is with showtime you think he will fight on hbo?

    Lara will get wrecked more easier then some of the middelweights GGG stopped like stevens,lemeux,murray those guys a bigger punchers and have better punch resistance

    Lara got put over by angulo lol that would not even be a competitive fight

    I rather see GGG test himself more fighting ramirez at 168 in the future then waste time fighting someone like lara lol

    dom wade fought on hbo.....amir khan fought on hbo...they are with haymon

    bob arum recently said haymon was "sincere" in efforts to match broner and pacquiao......broner is with haymon

    stop that phony haymon nonsense

    lara beat angulo......stopped him....angulo beat joachime alcine in 1 round...the same alcine that beat david Lemieux....lolol

    did k2 even call lara and ask if he was available? nope...I guarantee they didn't....

    peel yourself off of lowercase gees taint

    lol...I love how the story always changes...first its "hes with haymon cant make that fight"...I show you what an idiotic statement, like most you make, that is...and then it turns to "well lara cant last 3 rounds"

    so lara stops angulo...angulo knocks alcine out in 1 round...alcine beats Lemieux

    go figure

    But a fight against a 147 pounder is better?

    The Golovkin casual fan = :patsch

    I still think he's too small, simply because this is Golovkin that we are talking about and I don't see anybody within a sniff of his weight having a chance. That said, Brook is a lot bigger than I thought. This could be a fun fight for a while.

    Of course the fight was serious. That's why Golovkin SIGNED THE CONTRACT. Eubank is very popular in Britain, why on earth would Gennady NOT want to fight him? :huh

    Hearn is the guy that got Brook as a replacement and pushed him onto K2. If GGG wanted a fight with Brook, surely they would be the ones dragging him up?

    Because Eubank Junior most likely never did see a contract. CE Senior won't even allow Junior's own promoter to talk to him. CES is a colossal bellend. HE is the reason why this fight is not happening. Eubank / GGG was a great fight. No reason for it not to be made, unless of course Eubank Senior scuppered the deal with his absurd demands.

    Of course Eubank Jr is pyssed off. This was his fight, and Brook took it from under his nose. But maybe he should look at daddy dearest and see the real problem.

    Eubank / GGG could still happen. Hearn all but said that the door is not shut. So let's see what happens after this.
