Originally posted by Tom Cruise View PostKhan would earn more fighting Brook than he would anyone barring Mayweather or Pac (and even thats debatable given how badly Khan would get ****d at the negotiating table). Mayweather is retired, and Pac will most likely fight someone else given that he is with Top Rank and Khan is with Haymon.
You can chat about Brooks resume all you want, and I agree it isnt great, but he is the biggest realistic fight that Amir Khan can get. He would get a very favorable split because, like you say, Khan is the bigger draw. He would also get a title which he can use to bargain in subsequent fights.
Seems like a no brainer for me
*** Brook & fat Eddie, let the fraudsters earn it

If he didnt have those then fighting Witter would have been the logical fight.
Khan doesnt have that. Brook is by far his best option. Mayweather is retired, Pac is with Top Rank.
Brook has already 'earned' the fight by making himself Khans best option.

Khan vs PAC is huge, khan vs Bradley, Khan vs Garcia are massive. Khan vs Porter or Peterson are big fights. Khan vs Thurman is a big fight. Why give Brook a payday when Khan could earn millions with fighters who are equally big fights & fighters who have earned it.
Boxing needs to get back to fighters earning a shot at big time. Instead we have hype & talking schit seen as the key
You know Brook is hype because they've been far too reluctant to put him in with anyone. He beat Porter but he hugged that belt off of him. He went tooth & nail with Carson Jones. If Brook was the real deal he'd be in super fights without Khan, instead they're begging & trying to hype it into a huge fight.
If Mitchell was in favour they could do the same with him, they're both from UK & thats it..on merit they're divisions apart.

Kell Brook is the only champion at 147 figthing his mandatories...
Fought Matthew Hatton who was next in line for the IBF beat him
Fought Ionut Dan Ion who was his mandatory beat him
Fighting Diego Chavez who the IBF put the eliminator with Porter
He's promoter already said they will fight his current mandatory Kevin Bizier next

Khan would earn much more fighting Brook than he does any of those barring Pac, who is with Top Rank and most likely will face a TR/HBO opponent in a retirement fight.

Originally posted by Tom Cruise View PostBrook is undoubtedly a bigger fight than Garcia, Peterson, Bradley, Thurman or Porter. Domestic 'grudge match' with a world title on the line? Lancashire vs Yorkshire? Sky PPV? No brainer. The UK public would lap that **** up.

Khan doesn't need Brook to earn money..now who's Brook gonna fight?
Khan has Asian money, not county money
& your own logic doesn't hold up when you think back to Witter & HattonLast edited by ukbox; 11-25-2015, 08:07 AM.

Bradley is another one who is with Top Rank btw.
And since when has Thurman 'earned it' any more than Brook? His best wins are Jesus Soto Karass and Robert Guerrero

And just to be clear, Brook is the champ as was Hatton.
