Should The IBF Strip Kell Brook of The Belt?

[Dirk Diggler UK]

Why would the IBF strip him?

Jo Jo Dan was their mandatory and Gavin was ranked in their top 3.

Now Bizier is their mandatory because the likes of Khan, Bradley and Porter pulled out of the eliminator.

Having said that, I'm pretty sure Chaves also pulled out of an eliminator to fight Brook in a straight title shot so I don't see how that fight doesn't happen next.

If Brook fights Bizier now, it's a joke and Chaves should probably take some sort of legal action. He would be getting royally ****ed over.

Because Garcia, Bradley and Thurman dont get Khan PPV money. Khan was offered what a £5,000,000 guarantee and likely a very favourable split of PPV profits to fight Brook. He doesnt make that money vs anyone else. Hell he probably doesnt earn that much more than that fighting Mayweather (Maidana in the second fight where he had much more leverage in negotiations only earned a $5mill (£3.5mill approx?) guarantee vs Floyd).

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

How do u know what money Khan earns?
He's a massive star, its the reason he's turned into a massive Bellend
It's Brook that's lucky to earn enough for a holiday to Tenerife with his belt
Thurman is backed by many in US as a star, us bigger market.
U sound like u on Brook's team, the priks done nothing to deserve the fight aside from talk about how good he is, he's that good that's he fought nobodies
Forget Khan, whos Brook going to fight that's quality for him & Hearn to earn well from?

Wow dude. You just don't know anything about boxing

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

As was Witter

[Dirk Diggler UK]

At this moment in time, neither Khan nor Brook have done enough to deserve fighting each other and the payday that comes with it.

Brook has completely killed the momentum he had after beating Porter. I don't see how they'd get away with promoting Bizier as his next fight.

Want to see what Hearn says about this but he's turned into a full blown **** these days instead of just a bit of a wanker. I can see him trying to sell this.

I googled some of his purses?

I cant see anywhere he has earned over $1.5 million (about £1million) for a single fight. And that was during his heyday, to my eyes he doesnt seem as popular now as he was then. To put that in perspective, Groves as the B-side to a big UK PPV made £2million.

And to the bolded, its true. And its why Khan would mug Brook off in negotiations and make himself a crap tonne of money.

So to sum up:

1. Khan makes much more money vs Brook than he does vs any of his other realistic options.

2. Brook is a good fight vs a top 5 WW (ie. No one can claim he is ducking other fighters).

As I said before, no brainer. Unless you are Khan. In which case it makes sense to sit around being passed over by genuine superstars and fighting other fringe contenders for $1,000,000.

As was Witter

He was truly begging for the fight when he was European champion and Ricky was the champ. When Witter was world champion, Ricky made 25 million dollars in one fight. Witter made peanuts in small arenas. There's no comparison to Khan who's best payday is like 1.5million.

Also, Khan isn't fighting anyone, Ricky was fighting Mayweather, Pacquiao and the likes at their peak. Khan is fighting Chris Algieris and Julio Diazs.

But the point you were most wrong with was it never hurt Ricky's career. Of course it did. People still wanted to see that fight and it sucks it didn't happen.

But if Khan continues to duck Brook. That would be shameful of biblical proportions.

If that actually happens, it will be one shameful event. But I still doubt it'll be his next fight.

I agree 100%
Without wanting to sound like a boxing scene know all I've called Hearn out since day1, when other posters were calling him the saviour.
I backed Froch & fury from day1 when they were on itv & taking schtick..not jumping on the bandwagon. I'm a fan but like yourself in the post above I won't Swallow ****e & will voice a fighters limits.
I don't like Khan but the guy's fought huge names & has had twice the career Brook has had. Brook blamed Warren, now he's with Hearn & still isn't stepping up.
Porter is Brook's best name. Porter got dropped hard by broner, a fighter out of his comfort zone & he didn't catch him early & cold.
Brook's killed the fight & the only people calling for it are knob jockey's & Hearns team that are counting the cash Khan brings

Why does that make a difference

He will earn sponsorship money whoever he fights. In this context all that matters is his fight to fight earnings. Brook would be his biggest payday by quite a long way.
