People are acting like this is a money grab for Brook. Brook is like 37-0 and I don't think he's trying to let that 0 go.. He said Sugar Ray moved up and won and he's going to do the same..

I got Brook winning this fight, he can out box him and get the decision.

I wouldn't compare this fight to Khan v.s. Canelo, becasue Khan had no business fighting Canelo, he wasn't not even a champion at 147 or even fought any of the top guys at 47. Also khan didn't lose because he was small, it's because he makes dumb mistakes, and is softer than wet tissue.

Brook is better than anybody he can fight at 160 in my opinion none of those dudes are good, Cotto beat the fukk outta the same guys GGG was beating the fukk out of, that division is trash.

Really good interview, footnotes for those who don't want to listen to 50 minutes:

(Talks a lot about Eubanks Jr. and Eubanks Sr, will refer to them as Jr. and Sr)

- Negotiations between GGG and Eubanks was going on for too long, so Hearn and GGG's team agreed to a deadline for the Eubanks to agree. The deadline was given to Sr. and he missed the deadline. When the deadline was missed he let them know the fight was off and he called Brook.
- Brook has had a hard time making fights. He offered $2 million pounds plus 50% US TV to Vargas and TR turned it down. They offered $3 million plus US TV to Broner and offered more than $3 million plus US TV to Garcia and neither would agree (believe they would have been UK fights).
- Brook's competition post Porter has been very weak.
- Believes that Jr. never saw the contract or knew anything about the negotiations. Sr. is the type of manager that will not allow a promoter to talk to his fighter at all.
- Has spoken with Jr. a couple times and thinks he is a nice guy.
- Truly believes Jr. would have taken the fight, had Sr. shown him the proposal. Believes that Sr. never showed Jr. the true contract.
- Sr. is the most frustrating person he has ever tried to make a deal with. He tries to control everything.
- Took Sr. into a Sky Sports TV meeting, something he has never done with a manager, to appease Sr.
- Matchroom operates by: setting a budget creating estimates and final numbers for revenue streams, setting estimates for all costs of the event, including the undercard, and their main event promoted fighter who they are representing gets the profit of the event, minus 20% to Matchroom. Different than other promoters who set their own budget and give the fighters a negotiated payment. They allow their fighters (managers) to see the entire budget of the event and have input as necessary.
- Sr. wanted control over ticket prices, which he has never given to a fighter. Sr. wanted tickets to be 80-100% higher than what Joshua charges.
- Sr. also wanted to choose the fighters on the undercard and determine himself how much each fighter should be paid.
- After two weeks of negotiations his father told him to tell Sr. to piss off and not make the fight. He wanted to keep trying and gave it an extra 1-2 weeks and Sr. would not agree to any terms.
- The fight would have made Jr. millions of pounds more than when he fought BJS.
- Sr. has told him on numerous occasions that Jr. is more popular than Joshua.
- Matchroom's TV ratings, PPV buys, web interest, and ticket sales all say that Joshua and Brook are more popular than Jr.
- Joshua and Froch always sell out. Jr. was lucky to sell 2,500 tickets vs. Blackwell.
- Matchroom gives their main event promoted fighter say over the undercard, but never control. The fighter's team gets to choose if they want an expensive or inexpensive undercard, but they do not get to negotiate salaries and determine what other fighters are worth.
- Joshua is very easy to work with. Joshua likes to have high quality undercards, even if they are more expensive, because he wants to make the event bigger.
- Froch was more difficult to work with, but it is because he is very demanding of each detail and wanted to be involved. Froch was smart enough to know when things made business sense.
- Admits he criticized Khan fighting Canelo. That was because Brook is physically bigger than Khan.
- People will be surprised, but he believes walking around weight Brook weighs more than GGG. Brook won't try to add weight to match the strength of GGG because of this. He will just need to cut less weight.
- To make 147 Brook has to cut a lot. 154 is Brook's ideal weight class, 160 does give Golovkin an advantage as Brook is probably best suited for 154.
- There is no contracted rehydration clause, but GGG's IBF title has a day of fight 10 pound rehydration weigh in, so in effect that is their rehydration clause.
- Believes on fight night GGG will weigh 172 lbs and Brook 168-169 lbs.
- Thinks it would be smart for Jr. to negotiate to fight the winner of GGG-Brook. He would even be willing to put him on the undercard and to help promote Jr. getting the winner.
- Biggest UK fight he has ever made is Froch-Groves and Joshua-Whyte, but GGG-Brook will be his biggest fight internationally.
- One of his dream fights to make is Khan-Brook. Brook will fight, but Khan keeps coming up with stipulations. Khan-Brook will get made when Khan is ready.
