So you guys are telling me that he can find bums at 160, but not @168 or 154. I get it now. Duh, I'm stupid.
So your alternative is for Golovkin to fight a bum? lol
Look, he got turned down by four middleweights - Canelo (after wasting all year), Saunders the other belt holder , Danny Jacobs and now Eubank.
K2 took the only offer on the table. Fight in the UK on UK PPV against a well known guy with name, undefeated #1 welterweight, or walk away with nothing and hope to find someone else, which in all likelihood would be a "bum" which is exactly what you criticize him for fighting!
Brook isn't who Golovkin wanted. He said a few months ago that he wasn't interested in Brook because he's a welterweight. He made it clear he was focused on middleweight, which is exactly what he tried to do - Canelo, Saunders, Jacobs and Eubank. Those were the priorities and still are. He couldn't get any of them so he settled on Brook, who to his credit actually wants to fight Golovkin and has been calling him out all year.
It's one fight. He taps into the UK market which K2 has been trying to do for the last two years and this can make it easier to make future UK fights like DeGale at 168 who K2 say they want to fight, or perhaps Golovkin does so well in the UK it can generate more money for Billy Saunders to grow a pair.
What people should be pissed off about is the entire middleweight division being pussies. These guys duck Golovkin and won't even fight each other! Saunders turned down Danny Jacobs, Canelo wouldn't even fight a lesser middleweight and Eubank wouldn't even rematch Saunders or fight Danny Jacobs. It's a mess at 160 because the top guys are too afraid to fight anyone good, let alone fight Golovkin.
