No , mandatory fight only offers 25% to the challenger. GG can give Eubank a fight like he gave Brook the fight. Why didn't he tell Brook to go off and become mandatory?
Eubanks didn't wanna be a mandatory because he didnt fight Jacobs if I remember correctly. He went for the British title instead.
I think he was supposed to fight for the interim strap first. Either way, I don't see anything from CEJ to suggest he's willing to step up and fight the best. He didn't want the Saunders rematch either.
I'm done with Eubanks either his not striving for greatness or his dad is holding him back either way his career has stalled big time.
Because brook offered big $$$ and this was a very easy way for ggg to come out to the UK fans. this was ggg getting paid and huge exposure for a sparring session with zero possibility anything could go wrong . Eubank is a real fight, probably the best fight at MW, Eubank is unbeaten in my eyes (I haven't seen him beaten truly) and I've seen all his fights . I've seen him get hosed by bjs and have another tough decision but, never seen him beaten down. That's a good fight, GGG was supposed to be fighting Eubank not brook. brook stepped in because he didn't want to lose to Spence , accepted losing to ggg. These fighters think moving up and losing is better than risking losing in their own division , silly kids
Come on dinovelvet, the fight was offered to Eubanks first then for whatever reason they didn't take it and Brook took it instead.
Your right Brook stepped in to avoid Spence in my opinion too but I have to think Eubanks stepped out because they were negotiating with him initially with no mention of brook.
%25 of the big money from the Sky Box office against GGG would be a lot bigger than anything he makes against all those British no hopers. GGG was serious about wanting Martinez, so he tried to become the mandatory. Eubank could do the same with GGG instead of running his mouth, he refused. He ain't stepping up any time soon, and noone is gonna buy that GGG ducking him crap until he does so and proves himself a legitimate threat.
It was a bait & switch. . They were working on GGG vs Brook all along behind closed doors. You don't makes fights with guys on different networks in just 24hrs.
That's possible but why would hearn do that with Eubank when he's a bigger draw than Brook? Not to mention the Eubanks have now come crying back to Hearn saying they wanna be on the Joshua undercard, why would they come back to hearn if he did them dirty like you say he did?
Eubank brings the Sky BO money.. Why would he accept just 25% of it? Did Brook risk his health and career for just 25% of his own show on his own network? hahahahahahaha
Your right I can't believe GGG is ducking someone who takes a fight with Langford after his GGG fight doesn't happen.
Because he's some contender who's going up against the unified champ. Brook is a titlist who moved up for the fight. Eubank is talking the talk, lets see him walk the walk and prove himself a legitimate treat instead of just running his mouth about it.
