Mayweather was asked about Pacquiao in every single major interview with any news outlet, he would be mobbed by people wherever he went asking him to fight Pacquiao
People are ridiculing Canelo for not taking the GGG fight. Canelo fans want to see Canelo face GGG.
But the thing is, no one really ever spoke about Khan v Brook, till Khan was at the lowest point in his career when he had just lost to Danny Garcia. No one apart from Brook Fans/Khan haters in the UK really want to see the Khan v Brook fight.
Khan had to get KTFO by Canelo and put to sleep, for the odds makers to still have Khan as the slight favourite against Brook.
No one knows who Kell Brook is in the UK. He will sell a good load of tickets for his unification, but that will be down to a stacked undercard. No one would travel more then 20 miles and part with thier hard earned cash to see Kell Brook fight.
All this bull**** about him going to America and winning the belt the hard way. But Eddie Hearn could have easily have let the fight have gone to purse bids, and put down a competitive offer and made Porter travel to the UK.
But Eddie Hearn had 0 confidence in Brook beating Porter, and the decision to make him travel to the US was that it if he does lose to Porter in the US, they could keep it a bit quiet in the UK and paint it as a robbery.
Just read some of the comments on non hard core boxing fan news websites. Brook is seen as a joke who fights tomato cans.
Jessie Vargas despite holding a belt at 140, Sadam Ali was the only top 15 fighter within the division he was in that he beat. Allahrdiev was a paper champion...DeMarco a blown up lightweight.
