    Khan's purses has dropped significantly over the last couple of years, he hasn't been on PPV since Maidana I believe (was it even PPV?).

    You are talking about Khan's money as if its yours and you justify that to not fight Brook? Dfuq is this fanboy bs I'm hearing.

    Khan makes mediocre money from boxing. He's not really a big star and doesn't pull a lot of people.

    If he fought Brook he could make 10 million dollars. 10 million!
    Where's the delusion Numbskull?
    Khans money is khans money, its fans & knob jockey's like u that are telling him he needs the Brook payday. Logic says its the other way round.
    10 million means a lot to u, it means a lot to fat Eddie & Brook. It obviously doesn't mean a lot to Khan. Not hard to understand is it? £20 grand might mean a lot to u, others spend it on a bottle of wine with a meal

      So why does Khan still bother boxing if 10 million is nothing to him?

      He's so rich apparently so the **** should just retire and be a full time charity worker.

        Even by Ring standards, Brook beat a top 5 WW in Porter within the last 2 years.

          Is Khan that rich that £10m would mean nothing to him?

          I mean i know he's obviously loaded but not that loaded surely?

          You never see herds of Khan fans watching on big screens or anything so i think this notion that he is some huge star is stretching it a bit. So how much 'asian money' does he actually bring in?

            I don't know what the situation with Chaves is. That was a risky fight with almost no reward. If Brook has bottled it then it's a joke but it's not like Khan would take even consider that kind of fight either. He almost got chinned by Algieri ffs.
            Sky pay matchroom millions a year. That doesn't take into account gate & the PPV boost that most Hearn cards get. Traditionally promoters dip their hand in their pocket & pay a big name fighter what he wants in the hope their fighter wins..takes the kudos & becomes bigger. There's no way in hell Brook couldn't have been fighting big names, its being avoided.
            Hearns pocketing a lot of cash & Brook's happy to earn what he is without taking risk. Hoping that he'll get the Khan payday. Matchroom tries to slag opponents & bait them into taking fights for paydays for hearn, see Frampton

              He can earn that fighting nobodies, not in 1 fight but safely earn it. How many opponents will Brook have to fight of safe picks to earn that?

                Obviously enough to keep him happy
                He's a star in countries with 100s of millions, u think these Bollywood stars are poor because they don't star in movies with deniro?

                  Who could they pay to come over though?

                  Tim Bradley looks like the best option out there but would he take a Brook fight in the UK if he's being offered Cotto or Canelo in America? Doubtful.

                  Who else? Porter and Thurman are fighting each other. Mayweather/Pacquiao retiring.

                  Brook is left with the likes of Chaves. But if he's even bottling that fight then there's a clear problem.

                  So he'd rather take about 7 fights to earn what he could earn in 1?

                      I think Bradley would take it, he's not known to shy away from a fight & has beaten ingle fighter before. Rios would have taken the fight, porter rematch. Peterson would have taken it. FFS Mosley would have taken the fight. They don't want to pay the money for a name but want to sell it as PPV
                      Khan can earn 10 mil in his career fighting tune ups, that was the point. Who can Brook fight to earn close to that? Fans are cottoning on to him avoiding risk, u think he'll continue to sell fighting the same quality? How many fights will Brook need to make 10 mil? 15-20?
