I read Eddie Hearn''s interview last week in Boxing News. He made comments which suggest that Brook will surprise all the 'so-called' experts.
Well, then , Eddie , let's hear it. What is your prediction. If you're so confident in your man let's hear your forecast.
I've given mine in another thread - second round clean knockout for Golovkin.

He's the promoter it's his job to talk Brook up and make it seem as if it's going to be competitive.

Even if Brook gets cleaned out in two rounds, it will all be forgotten by Tuesday.

He's a promoter, his job is to sell fights and he does it very well, even if he thinks Kell gets sparked in a round, he'll still sell it like its gonna be like the thriller in Manila.

Agreed. I'm more than happy to join in slagging off Camp Eddie when I feel he deserves it, but it's a bit silly to criticise him for putting on a huge fight and then doing his best to sell it.

They get top money and top opportunities for relatively low risk.
When the big fights come up they get paid accordingly.

Eddies done a great job overall. Played a big part in britains recent upturn in boxing in recent years. Plus great at building up the fights.
Only critism is things like the brook fight. Makes you wonder if he has the fighters best interests at heart or if it really is all about the money.
Golvokins feared in the middleweight division. No ones really wanting to face him up there. Heard reports hes hurting sparring partners much bigger than him. Broke macklins ribs with a body shot. Meant to be a devastating puncher. Yet he puts brooks whos a welterweight up for the fight. If you take out hearn,s "brook is special" "brook is really a middleweight" "brook is the best 140 lbl er" etc. it really is madness the fights been signed.
He deserves to make money cause he does a great job and works hard hopefully not at the expense of a fighter getting hurt tho. Hopefully brook puts on a decent account of himself and its not an issue. But can see there being a backlash if brook does get destroyed. Personally think he will but not worth the risk when hes sitting with a belt etc in the welterweight division
