How big of a fight would Khan vs Brook in the UK?

The Viper

Hey UK brothers...........I'm a big fan of Khan, how big would this fight be now in the UK, Just how popular are these two guys over there right now?

Earl Hickey

Not that big, Brook is hardly known and Khan is seen as somewhat of a joke now.

No disrespect but did you even read my orginal post?

Brook is a big draw & is selling out arenas, most Amir Khan fans claim he isn't but he is and most casual fans like him. He is popular here.

Pretty much everyone has heard of Khan but hes widely known as having a glass chin and the hype has gone.

Brook is pretty popular in boxing circles and he can do 10,000 in one of his regular spots.

But the fight wouldn't have crossover appeal, I doubt it'd be on in pubs etc like Haye fights were

If Brook beas Devon it might be different though

well, Brook packs out the Motorpoint Arena in Sheffield, which isn't exactly huge but it's a decent size. Khan would sell out the MEN comfortably I think, despite him being on a losing streak atm.

I think the way Matchroom and Sky would buddy up and sell the fight like mad, I'd expect it to be a big fight definitely

Khan is well known nationwide, Brook is less well known but on the come-up. However, it is still a big fight in domestic terms.

It would be a big fight domestically.
