GGG to Eubank Jr : "I have stopped paying attention to people calling me out."
"I have the perfect style to stop Golovkin even though it's never been done before," Eubank said.
"I have stopped paying attention to people calling me out. It's the same thing. People claim things, they say that they have certain arrangements. It just looks cheap. It's not worth my attention at all," Golovkin said.
"I remember coming to the UK. I liked that night, I enjoyed it. It was an entertaining fight. I would not limit myself to any individual country," Golovkin said.
"It depends on many factors. I'm sure the conditions offered for a fight in the United States or in my home country of Kazakhstan would not be any worse than those offered in the UK. So let's be realistic."
So Jr is trying to get 40 y/o GGG but he quacked out in 2016 from fighting G. lol
Why Eubank Jr didn't call out Andrade or Charlo ?

Re: GGG to Eubank Jr : "I have stopped paying attention to people calling me out."
"I believe Eubank Jr. genuinely wanted the fight and we worked solidly for three weeks trying to make the fight," Hearn told ESPN.
"We had several meetings and contracts went back in forth. We sent them a final contract on Tuesday and said you have 24 hours and they never came back to us. We just ran out of time, so I offered it to Kell.
"The deal that Kell Brook is on is the same as what Eubank Jr. was offered, it's the same same pay-per-view deal as Anthony Joshua is getting and what Carl Froch got.
"It was so frustrating. It was the crazy demands that meant the fight could not happen for Eubank Jr. against Golovkin. They think it's negotiations but it's not a bluff when I say it's 24 hours to sign the contract. They were given a deadline and they chose not to take the fight.
"They wanted full operational control of the promotion. They were even asking things from Sky Sports like 'We want these commentators', which is ridiculous.
"I feel for Eubank Jr. because I don't think he knows what's going on and he was going to earn three or five million pounds. They have to understand that it's not playing a game.
"Chris Eubank Jr. hasn't made one decision, he doesn't breathe without his dad's say so. All the negotiations were done with Chris Eubank Sr. and the lawyer.
He added: "They sent through their suggestion for ticket prices and I would have got publicly lynched if I had agreed to that."
And now they want 40 y/o GGG. Ain't gonna happen.
Btw , Jr is gonna fight Liam Williams, who is coming after a loss with Andrade.

Re: GGG to Eubank Jr : "I have stopped paying attention to people calling me out."
In terms of competing against a very lucrative, but beatable opponent, Chris Eubank Jr. is probably the second best option for GGG, only behind Murata.
At Golovkin’s age, he needs to avoid defeat in order to maintain his chances of engaging in the Canelo rematch.
So cherry-picking a fight against Eubank Jr. could be a very wise business decision for GGG.

Mung is in a better spotlight now than Eubank Jr. Murata too. Eubank Jr has no title and not a decent win at mw.
that ship has sailed in 2016

Can't see Jr ever fighting Golovkin... He talks a good game, but I can't see it...

Shouldn't Eubank Jr had to fight Charlo ? What happened?
What about Andrade ?

Charlo-Eubank Jr. was only ever going to happen whilst the Brit remained with the PBC, but he left and aligned himself with Wasserman.

Both camps are rivals in the UK. And it's not a big enough fight to produce a cake large enough to guarantee everyone a decent sized slice.
Also, Eubank Jr. returned to 160lbs, because he's not suited to 168lbs.
And Andrade made the jump from 160lbs to 168lbs to avoid facing Alimkhanuly.
So you have two fighters, competing in different weight classes, aligned with different sides of the "street" and there's not enough interest to see these guys face each other.
