Comments Thread For: Hearn: Barker-Golovkin Would Require Huge Money

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Promoter Eddie Hearn has big plans for the new IBF middleweight champion Darren Barker (26-1, 16KOs), but WBA/IBO champ Gennady Golovkin (27-0, 24KOs) is not in his immediate plans. The next move for Barker will be his mandatory obligation, against Felix Sturm. Barker capture the title last Saturday night in Atlantic City, with a very gutsy performance to get a twelve round split decision over Daniel Geale of Australia. If and when the Golovkin fight is on the table, Hearn says there would need to be a lot of money involved. Golovkin faces Curtis Stevens on November 2 in New York.

At least he's honest

Lulz Hearn and Barker were willing to give Shaw options on him rather than fight Gennady.

That's why I give credit to Curtis Stevens. All these other guys are running away from GGG and giving excuses not to make the fight happen.

lol everyone has that to say about golovkin...they'll fight him if the money is good. they want insurance for the imminent loss.

That's because Curtis Stevens is looking for the payday and got it. He has nothing to lose, or he'd be running too.

Crazy how scared the middleweight division is of GGG. Showtime ain't scared though.

[Fetta]

Hearn just trying to get his fighters paid

[Evil Abed]

Sigh...... GGG keeps these promoters up at night.

Why shouldn't Barker get paid well? He's earned it.
