No, you don't know what you are talking about. Then why fight a welterweight? What about Lara? Kirkland? Or a Charlo brother? He went as low as a welterweight all for the money. God damn shame
They got Brook because they were working with Eddie Hearn for a month straight working on the Eubank fight. All the UK shit is done by Hearn, he got everything in place with Sky Sports, the UK PPV, the revenue, the venue, the international network deals, etc etc. Everything was in place for Golovkin to fight, everything, big deal in the UK. Eubank wouldn't sign, Hearn offered Brook with the exact same deal to Golovkin and they took it.
Like Loeffler said, it was either take the Brook fight or drop everything with no opponent and start from scratch with other promoters, find a different venue, potentially a date later in the year etc. Loeffler said two weeks ago he hasn't heard a word from Lara's team, said they never contact him, only talk on Twitter after fights are made plus Lara is trying to fight Andrade.
Charlo bros aren't interested they aren't leaving 154 anytime soon which they've said, plus Jermall Charlo was
ordered to fight Williams in a purse bid and Jermell Charlo has a mandatory in Charles Hatley. That leaves
Andrade who said he'll fight Golovkin only after he unifies 154 and he's going to fight that one
bum with the WBA regular belt next since he can't fight either Charlo brothers yet. James Kirkland hasn't fought since getting brutally KOd by Canelo that would be even worse of a fight, regardless he just got back with
Anne Wolfe and they are going to start training again and rebuild him. What other options are there?
I definitely see where he's coming from. They get turned down by Canelo after wasting all year, then Saunders and Jacobs, work for 4 weeks with Eubank only for him to not sign. They needed to get something done asap after getting dicked around for so long by multiple opponents.
