Modern boxers fight infrequently enough as it is to be wasting time in uncompetitive bouts, but if people are happy to see them waste their primes with mismatches then I hope in future we get the likes of Anthony Joshua feasting on light heavyweights. ? he might as well call out Kovalev next. Hell Terence Crawford should call out Rigondeaux after he deals with Postol. If catchweights and mismatches are the new trends then ? help this sport.
That's the man doing the deal. There is no other info to go off. Except the odd conspiracy theory.
He was ONE of the men involved in the negotiations. If Eubank Sr comes out and contradicts him will you believe him as he was also doing the deal? Eddie Hearn is a promoter and promoting is all about public perception. This guy actually wants us to believe that he was able to get lawyers, broadcasters, fighters and sponsors to agree to this fight in 24 hours with little to no negotiations? If you believe that I got a bridge to sell you.
Now the Eubanks may have made outrageous demands. Given Sr's history that is very possible so I wouldn't blame Hearn for that. My main beef is with GGG for selecting Brook as a 'replacement' and Eddie Hearn with trying to play us like this just magically happened.
With the amount of people that have to sign off on a fight the likelihood is that this has been in the making since it was first talked about a few months ago and Eubank was used to make us think GGG would have a credible opponent for his UK debut. As it is GGG is getting that nice UK money with NO risk!
Ok, I just read yesterday that Brook had to accept the exact same terms that were offered to Eubanks Jr.
If that is indeed the case, then all Brook literally had to do was sign.
Yes Brook could just sign but what about lawyers and broadcasters and sponsors? I find it hard to believe they ALL signed off in 24 hours even if Brook did.
Eddie Hearn is a very shrewd operator and for his business he has pulled off an amazing coup here but as a fan of the sport I don't like this at all.
Smh I see you not letting this go. Lol I really don't give a ? how it happened bruh. From what my eyes and ears tell me, Eubanks didn't accept the terms as layed out, Brook did. End of discussion for me.
But you be mad about it, I'll be watching the fight cheering for my boy Brook.

It just looks like Eubanks and his pops was unrealistic with their demands, especially when the fight was ready to be signed. Brook swooped in after a call from Hearns under the same terms and the rest is history.
Yeap pretty much I said this a few pages back. If it's good for Joshua it should be good for Eubank JR. Joshua is the biggest star over there you arent gonna get a better deal than him unless you are your own promoter or something like that.
Can´t blame the guy for wanting a better deal tho, hence, why fighters become their own promoters and start up their own promotion companies...
There's a better deal then there's greed and being unrealistic. -

? running from Spence as we speak. Spence gonna beat Brook after this next fight then it's Keith Thurman -
I think Postol has more of a chance than people are giving him

C'mon fam, you doing too much. You acting like you the only ? against catch weights, uncompetitive bouts, etc... Not one ? came in here and flat out said it's a fair fight, it's a good fight, etc...
We all know what it is man, you preaching to the choir my ? . Most of us said the fight is ? , Brook getting KO'd, etc... same ? we said when Khan signed up to fight Canelo. It's no different.
But I'm not going to sit around and continously gripe about something 24/7. I said my peace about this fight and I've moved on. Rooting for the underdog.
I know you're fairly new to posting in this thread on the regular like most of us in here but we go through this constantly. We've had lengthy conversation about all of the ? in boxing.
But ? help this sport? Bruh, no matter the match ups, boxing ain't going nowhere, it never died, etc... -
You think GGG going to ruin Brook? Is that why you've switched your position on who wins vs Brook and Spence?
@JLacey -

A little bit but nah. I just think Spence will beat him now -

Not new at all bruh. Been browsing Allhiphop since 2002. Was an active poster from 2003 - 2006 and was here for the original boxing thread so I know what it is.
Of course boxing ain't going nowhere but in the absence of Floyd and Pacquiao nobody is striking to take the mantle they held. GGG star is being forced on us without the guy proving it and I think it's farcical. Also i'm a Brook fan and think he could be ruined after this fight. I think this will turn out to be very bad decision career-wise for him after he gets knocked out mercilessly. -

Hey man I just want to see competitive fights. Imagine since Brook beat Porter this will be his fourth uncompetitive fight in a row. Just so happens this time he'll be on the end of a beating.
For years in the UK Brook moaned about how he wants the big fights, he beats Porter and we all think he is going to kick on. Since then his career has been a dud. He's going to become a cautionary tale on how not to manage a top fighter's career. -
I might just agree with JLacey, I hope this fight doesn´t ruin Brook, and that this doesn´t end up as a devasting knockout, as we all know the effect they have, some never recover, I hope this isn´t the case.
The welterweight division is now Keith´s and Spence´s. -
So basically Eubank Sr. wanted operational control of the fight. He wanted to control the ticket prices, who would be on the undercard … talking about security and hotels, etc... everything the promoter is supposed to do haha
No wonder they lost out on the fight. Smh -

Negative. ? Thurman. He proved he's top 5 with the Porter win. He knew what he was doing taking a porter fight and not fighting Brook or spence. Thurman still over rated but that was a good W. Honestly Carwford is big at 140. I don't think Thurman can beat him now
