Top Rank promoter Bob Arum could have asked Eddie Hearn to have Brook face Crawford, but he didn’t do that. Brook being inactive hurts his chances for a Crawford fight. What Hearn didn’t know at the time he made those two fights is that Khan would choose to ignore Brook, and instead face Crawford. Khan recently admitted that if he beats Crawford, then a future fight with Brook would be dead in the water. When the negotiations for that fight slowed, Hearn quickly volunteered Brook to fight Golovkin in September 2016.
