    No. They're negotiating with Khan and negotiated with Pacquiao before he took the Horn fight. They were willing to fight Pacquiao in April and after the Horn fight was announced they asked the IBF for another extension and got it. Now they're saying the fight will happen in late May.

      yeah they were some bad fights, not defending them. Just saying spence can get in line, brooks got bigger fights to worry about, maybe if spence got his arse into gear and got himself out there by fighting more regularly, people would know who he was and would be demanding the fight.

        True but you can't be known without getting a chance thrown your way.
        I agree it should be Brook Vs Khan next sadly it looks like Khan is being a bit of a **** and going back on what he was saying, the belt matters and holding onto it matters apparently...
        Says the guy who hasn't had a belt in a long time.

        I just hope its Khan Vs Brook next, no more stalling.

          He's at the front of the line. He's the mandatory. Spence had the highest rated fight on TV in America last year. The only reason he hasn't fought since then is because Brook is holding up the fight. They just got another extension. How is it Spence fault that he can't fight until Brook stops delaying? If Brook would've fought and beat Vargas (another tough fight in his division he didn't take. Vargas, Alexander, Rios, Chaves, Bradley all tough fights Brook didn't take) this Spence fight would be happening next month.

            Every interview he seems to imply he's only coming to 147 if it's for Khan, which isn't going to happen cause Khan doesn't want it. So 154 is much more likely than 147 it appears to me. Now if Brook does come down to 47, I believe it's in his best interest to negotiate a tune-up before Spence. He should test the orbital bone, test his ability to come down in weight, train his body for 147 again....these are reasonable things I think he could negotiate.

                They haven't gotten another extension. It's the same extension they got in the beginning - I believe until Feb 20th or close thereto.

                Spence had high ratings because of the Olympics and happened to fight in the middle of it.

                When he fought Algieri it peaked at 1.3 or something like that on NBC - respectable but of course let's not pretend that his ratings vs bundu has anything to do with him being a draw, which he clearly isn't yet.

                The only way Spence gets a fight is if Sky agrees to do it on PPV which they probably will. If not, Brook is off to 154 for sure.

                  I feel bad for you Laced, because I know you're going to defend your boy to the grave. But, he's turning into a joke now. As did Fury. Would be a great time for you to embrace a little objectivity, save some face. Don't let your loyalty as a fan make a clown of you. They're just boxers.

                    I feel bad for you. You're saying a guy who went up two weight classes to fight GGG is ducking Errol Spence.

                    That's some next level delusion.
