    khan's been on the slide since danny shattered whatever was left of the chin prescott gave him.


    me chun and his team really though tthey were going to get mayweather or pacqcuiao. he'd lose both of those fights (might beat manny now, because he's done,) but at least he'd make a gigantic payday. kell and khan is a british fight thatr would probably get picked up by showtime as a second fiddle. he's not going to take that kind of money to get beat up like that. he can make similar money and fight the algieries, alexanders, and collazo's of the world.

    kell would beat him up and stop him. he's too strong. khan's chin is garbage, and he can't move like he used to for 12 rounds.

      Anyways, don't worry. Khan-Brook will happen. If it happens in 2017 though, that'd be great for both. More money...

      Amir and Kell should fight all the other champions at 147, take all the belts, and then fight each other at Wembley to crown the King of 147. That makes more sense, and that is a big PPV fight.

      At this point, who has Kell fought? Other than Porter, there's nobody on his resume. Khan's resume is stacked. Khan is wanting to fight more dangerous fighters than Brook: Pacquiao, Mayweather....
      With Amir Khan's chin, you can't keep putting off a fight of this magnitude.

      Khan is not going to get Mayweather or Pacquaio and he realises that now so this is the biggest fight out there for him now. He's been backed into a corner.

      It's time for Khan to **** or get off the pot.

          you're right to say that he'll make more money, but i was talking about the fight in the context of a fight with mayweather or pacquiao when they were draws. similar might not have been the right word, but we need to consider that fights have been looked at in the context of the possible mayweather or pacquiao fights.

          you're also talking about a single fight that could spell disaster vs several fights against guys who cannot punch, similar to the gennady golovkin avoidance tactics at 160.

          one of the important parts of the post that i'd like to stretch is that i think khan's team felt entitled to mayweather or pacquiao or both at some stage, and that decisions about matchmaking were made with those fights in mind prior to mayweather's retirement and pacquiao's huge slip in drawing power at the end.

          you can fight three collazos a year and make good money. it's not rocket science to keep him from a strong guy like brook. i don't call brook a puncher, but i have no doubt that he'd do damage to khan if he landed. he'd obviously make more money against brook. i'm not an expert, nor do i typically care to be, about the threshholds in earning and drawing power that take a fighter off of "premium network" tv and onto PPV in the UK. i'd assume that khan would probably want to hold out for ppv money, as premium TV networks have a budget. i'm an expert on it in the context of american boxing, but that's only because it's significant, and not because i'm seeking the information out.

            Kell Brook is the biggest money fight out there for him including Mayweather and Pacquaio.

            He'd had to fight 5/6 times a year to make what he could from one Brook fight.

              The Brook fight will always be there for Khan. Khan would lose 3 fights in a row and Brook would still beg for a Khan fight. That's how desperate Brook and his silly manager are for Khan.

              And nobody ducks Brook. He does the ducking. Silly thread.

                  If Khan gets wiped out again, he's finished. He's already teetering on the edge of irrelevancy as it is.

                  His popularity has plummeted in the UK. And he was a flop in America.

                  Mugged off 5 times in a row by Mayweather and Pacquaio lol.

                  The Brook fight is all that's really left for him to redeem himself.

                    i don't see this. i'm not an expert to the degree that i'm saying it's impossible, i just haven't seen anything to indicate that the purse would be close. i'd need to see what kind of history you're looking at that makes you think those two could draw more particularly than floyd mayweather - amir khan.

                    pacquiao's at an odd spot at this point. i don't think for a second that brook - khan outsells khan - mayweather.


                    i'd also llike to know what kind of tax structure exists for a pro fighter who comes to vegas to fight. vegas has no state income tax. federal income taxes are low. that's one of the reasons people fight there. you get to keep a lot of your money. i'm not sure what kind of obligation khan would have to pay taxes, but it would cut in his bottom line.

                    the revenue sources would be british domestic ppv and money from american premium network tv in khan - brook. gate, sponsorships, factor in as well, but those are the primary revenue sources. against mayweather he'd get a ppv garantee, probably some of the upside, and then the opportuniyt to leverage for the lion's share of UK PPV. i can't see brook - khan outselling khan - mayweather in UK PPV, never mind to the point that it eclipses the ability to draw twice from the well with two PPV markets.
