    Brook was the bigger draw. Hearn had to deliver Brook a contractual PPV... They were paying Vargas way too much to come over and it wasn't possible to do the Eubank vs GGG PPV in the same month.
    Brook ended up getting Golovkin and becoming anther guy to take a loss for big money that comes with a built -in excuse for getting stopped.

    Yep. Andy Lee is a lot more accomplished than him and he's trying to make a fight with Heiland to get a title shot instead of relying on his daddy's name value while fighting a bunch of no hopers with most padded records.

    If you're gonna spread bull**** around, get out of the thread. There was a poll on Froch's Facebook page in 2014 for his next opponent. The three choices were Degale, Chavez Jr and Golovkin. Golovkin won the poll, but Froch pursued a fight against Chavez claiming fighting in Vegas was his dream. I don't want to get the timeline mixed up but either Chavez was injured or was pursuing a fight with Golovkin and Froch ended up retiring.

    The Barker thing was in 2013, when he won the IBF belt against Geale. He wanted to fight Barker for a belt, for free. What's wrong with that ? Barker decided to fight Sturm instead.

    You lose credibility by talking about Eubank. His been clamouring for a fight against GGG for 2 years now, he had his chance and didn't take it. Golovkin's team having no interest in him after the Brook fight indicate they have better things in mind than going back in negociation with someone who didn't want to sign in the first place.

    I'm from the UK and Eubank is a bigger draw to the casuals than Brook. Hearn cares about money or else he would never have let brook get in with a p4p banger who's two division above him, trust me if it came down to Eubanks or brook for GGG he goes with the bigger seller.

    No that never happened. Ive followed Froch since he blasted away Damon Hauge so you can take my word for it.

    Nah , Brook was the bigger draw. He already topped Sky PPV shows and was a champion. Eubank never did and still isn't a champ.

    Are you from the UK? Trust me more people talk Eubank and know of Eubank than brook, he topped a show but how much did that make peanuts, Eubank was co-feature on the Aj card which sold out.

    I'm from the UK.

    Eubank only really became that familiar to casuals when he was linked with the GGG fight and it was plastered all over Sky Sports. I'd have said Brook was still the bigger draw personally.

    I remember when Eubank fought Saunders casuals were talking about plus his dad being on I'm a celebrity got his surname out there. The only time I've heard kells name get mentioned by casuals is when it was linked with Khan who is well known and when he fought GGG.

    Casuals don't own Boxnation though as a rule and it wasn't really promoted outside of it. He is much more known now though but a lot of that is also down to his poxy Twitter account. Maybe I'm being bias because I hate the guy but I am yet to see anything to suggest he'd shift more tickets than Brook would

    Yeah but a lot of people watch fights in pubs, I like his fights not keen on him and his dad outside the ring. Anyway don't take my word for it go and ask some casuals who have you heard of out of the two and see what they say.

    The sad part is Korobov would actually be GGGs best win.

    Your word is worth nothing. Go do your homework and educate yourself.

    Yeah and its crazy to suggest Eubank is a bigger draw. Hearn gave Brook the Glovkin fight because he was going to sell more PPV's , because he was the bigger name amongst the casuals.
    Brook has being headlining Sky cards for years and years. He headlined a PPV against Frankie Gavin ffs. Eubank has never in his life headlined a Sky card never mind a Sky PPV. Guys who box on Channel 5 are not bigger draws than Matchrooms biggest name's.
    Eubank is still a big name , but he's not as established as Brook.
