Comments Thread For: Hearn: Khan Priced Himself Out, Wanted 80-20 Split For Brook!

[FrankieBruno]

Ive always wished khan well in his career after he won silver at olympics.
But 80-20 i cant support. Everyone deserves a fair pay day. 60-40 would be ok as it would show khan is the bigger star and satisfy his ego.

But brook said its not about money? So maybe Brook could somehow get it to 65 35, or at worst 70 30 and take that. It will paint khan as the bad guy trying to duck for dear life.

When Brook kos khan it will make khan look even worse, and feel that Khan has robbed brook in broad daylight. THere should be a clause in the contract that if brook wins he can recoup some money off of khan. Instead of a 70 30 get a 60 40.

khan needs to fight now, not keep messing about.

70/30 was on the table, Brook wants 50/50...

the 80/20 was Khans proposal

Hearn came to negotiate and told Khan that Brook wants 50/50

He's one of many champions and he won the belt in a fairly low profile fight then did nothing with it. A paper title is just not that much of a bargaining chip when you don't have wins and nobody knows who you are.

Yes, good point, but Khan is still the challenger and doesn't even have a paper title or a particularly strong resume at 147.

Brook actually has the title so I understand him wanting 50-50. Even 60-40 Khan might be acceptable but 80-20 for Khan is ridiculous and just another way to avoid the fight.

Hearn and Brook have both stated 60/40 is all they require. It's a fair split.
