Eddie Hearn says he's close to signing the contract for a 'stadium' fight for this World Middleweight title contest.

Could the Amex stage such a fight?

Eubank senior apparently nearly fought at the Goldstone as part of his Sky world tour of 1994/5 but negotiations broke down over money (funny that), but does Junior have the pull to fill the Amex?

I believe that fight could easily fill the amex as GGG is a big draw on his own and The Blackwell fight has now got casual fans intersed in Eubank jr. I also believe it will be a closer fight that pundits are predicting

I don't think even Eddie Hearn could get a license for that one.

Would be great for the city and a huge fight. Golovkin is far too good for Eubank I would expect a fairly one sided beating.

If it's PPV expect a decent undercard.

Eubank wouldn't last 4 rounds against GGG.

A few fights to early for Eubank. GGG is brutal. I'd like to see GGG v Alvarez myself. If he gets the fight I'd love to watch it but I suspect it will 8/9 rounds tops

This will be at Wembley or somewhere with a minimum capacity of 40/50k as the way the ring etc is set up means you will lose thousands of seats. Is a shame as would love to see that down here
