Eubanks are just trying to build some hype around them by keep saying they want Golovkin. They would probably price themselves out from the fight by saying the offer wasn't fair enough.

Except the Eubanks have backed themselves into a corner just like Canelo did.

The money will be there for both fighters, so they will end up with an egg on their faces if they don't sign.

All are wainting for GGG to age overnight and look very weak. GGG should somehow bait these cowards in his next fight by taking a step back, take some punches, look hurt and exhausted. :OhYes:

There wouldn't be much pathetic showboating abd posturing from Eubank Jr in a fight with Golovkin. He'd get the pasting if his life. His defence is pretty poor.

If the fight is made, it will happen next week. Let's just wait and see. Eubanks keep mentioning Sky as a possible obstacle, and I am not sure what they mean.

Golovkin will not wait long. He already got screwed up this year waiting for Canelo. If the fight is not made next week, they will make a fight with a mandatory like Heiland or Turreano.

Don't know why but I have the feeling Eubanks will pull out from negotiations by saying Sky didn't treat them right in terms of money or something like that. Anyway I still think it's some kind of marketing stunt from Eubanks to draw some attention on them.

After the Eubanks fight the adrenaline is flowing. Thing's were said. When the adrenaline dies down reality hits. Ask Canelo...

IMO.. From the looks of it Eubank won't be much of a match for GGG.

Eubanks were talking about fighting Golovkin before the fight. Both Hearn and Loefler said that the fight is close to be made, also before yesterday. Unless Team Eubank pulls some obstacle from their sleeves, we should see that fight.

Jr has a huge reach advantage over Lemieux and has enough pop to keep him away with his jabs. Lemieux also gases out. I would say it is 50/50 fight.

Looks to me the Eubanks are after the money big time, and are using Gennady as a cash cow.
6 millions for a junior guy with one defeat already is unheard of money.

Eubank Sr's finances must be running on low; he's using Jr and throwing him to the wolf and wants to cash out at the max.

This is why they didn't go after Jacobs; they might have lost to him, and the monster payday would be gone.

These Brits certainly know how to get publicity off of GGG... First Carl Froch ran Triple-G around for a year, putting pictures of himself all over social media saying he's too big and strong for GGG... Then Froch decided he didn't want to fight after all... Then it was Billy Joe Sanders who said he didn't want GGG... Then Saunders said he DID want GGG... Then said he didn't again ... Perhaps Eubanks is sincere... Perhaps not... We'll have to wait and see if this is more British BS ... or if Eubank actually wants to fight.

GGG should ask to fight this clown in Wembley so he can murder Jr. in front of 100,000+

This may be true. I rate Eubank Jr on the same par with Curtis Stevens, so GGG should stop him.

I the Eubanks really believed they could beat Golovkin, the money would be secondary; only the titles and the glory would be talked about.

Here we have a Eubanks sr obsessed with money guarantees, or the fight doesn't happen.

It's obvious they want to cash in on their past and current boxing fame, and know Gennady will accommodate them financially much higher than would any other middle champion.

I think Eubank is a bit better than Lemieux but not good enough to really give Golovkin too much trouble.

It would be a good fight but I'll be damned if I'm paying PPV money for it.

Got a feeling this does happen.

Eubank has walked away from Matchroom once. Team Eubank have made it clear they only stay with Sky if they make the GGG fight.

Eubank is far too easy to catch with a left hook. GGG stops him first 6 rounds.

Eubank has some good skills. I like watching him fight more than any other UK fighter.

I don't think he has the physical gifts to compete with GGG.

Golovkin-Eubank: Hearn Explains Why Deal is Not Finalized, Yet

"It's very, very complicated. And actually when you have contracts coming through... you have a contract with Matchroom and Eubank Jr., you've got a contract with Sky Sports for that particular fight, you've got a contract with HBO, you've got a contract with Gennady Golovkin - and you have three or four contracts to draft, and these contracts go backwards and forwards with so many changes on so many different points - international TV, sponsors on the ring mats, press conferences, drug testing, hotel rooms, flights, gloves, ringside officials," Hearn told IFL TV.

"At no point has anything come back to make me think this fight won't happen. Again, we're on the fourth or fifth redraft of the contract. Now there might come a time where everyone agrees on everything and then there are only small things left - and then the contract is put in front of someone and someone says 'no, I'm not taking the fight.' But I cant see that happening."

"I believe the fight will get made and I believe that it will get made this week. But again, if come Friday there is no announcement - don't start tweeting me that I'm a fraud and I'm liar. I'm just telling what I think. Things can change. People can change their minds on certain things that can disrupt a contract."

Jacobs, Saunders, Lemieux and Lee would've been more credible opponents for CEJ before he was starting to yap about a fight with GGG.
