christ, camp eddie will be like a cheshire fvcking cat here, he'll hit smug factor 12, fucksake

[Autobarn]

What?

Has Brook really pissed Hearn off?

Very bold challenge. But Brook was clinching a lot against Porter.

But you get the feeling the wrong guys are all facing each other, Alvarez v Khan and Liam Smith, and Golovkin v Brook!

[lefty]

damn ..... fair play to Brook. The Eubanks have got to be fuming though lol.

"Eddie you fucked up by not getting Brook Vs Vargas or GGG vs Golovkin, you'll have to give us something big!"
"Yeah...Hey Kel, can I offer you up as a sacrifice to keep Sky happy?"

Be interesting to know what weight this will be at.

Be interesting to know what weight this will be at.

Middleweight.

[mickey1975]

Brook is a big Welter, GGG a smallish middle. It looks like GGG-Jr was ready to go, Jr didn't want it so Brook's stepped up!

Be interesting to know what weight this will be at.

Middleweight.

I get that I mean whether it will be at like 157/158 or something.

[Stuarty]

Fair play to Brook here. Didn't see this coming at all! Can't wait!

It's not Canelo or the WBC, it won't be a catchweight

[Verdi]

Good matchup, could be the fight of the year. Didn't expect that, can't wait!

[Manchester Hitman]

Fooking hell

[Autobarn]

Obviously, home advantage and a big payday were the deciders.

Now all they have to do is figure out a way to beat Golovkin.

[lefty]

I actually think Brook will surprise people with his performance. He's technically good Brook and has a good boxing brain. I say that even though I've criticised him for the subpar opposition.

Brook wouldn't be taking the fight if he didn't think he could win. It's keeping Brook happy.

On PPV, I wonder if they will bother with a stacked card or just sell the main event ?

I think the Smith boy has a good chance against the Mexican if he’s 75% as good as I’m led to believe he is, and a similar size

Certainly get the feeling this one (Brook GGG) has come as a big surprise to everyone.

Imo the sizes could be a bit off, but Eubank Jr. seems a year or two green to be chasing GGG and I am very surprised at a man of his Dad’s experience in this sport trying to build it up...

Brook wouldn't be taking the fight if he didn't think he could win. It's keeping Brook happy.

Or it's a cash out given that he wasn't getting offered "enough" to face Vargas...

[lefty]

Be interesting to know what the odds will be.

[Andrew]

Mental but seriously Brook is getting executed
