Eddie Hearn said yesterday that Amir Khan could make 5 million dollars for a summer fight with Kell Brook.
It's quite clear, that aside from Mayweather, Brook would give Khan his biggest payday.
However, how big a win would it be?
Is Brook a big enough name at this stage to put him in the mix? Is it a top WW win?
Should he fight Brook?
Khan better fight somebody good and win
if he doesn't, he's assed out at this point
Brook is decent enough to get him back on track
Broner lost all his luster with the Maidana loss, he's nothing special
Khan rightfully beat Peterson, but it was a good, close fight
Porter has a belt, so if Khan can move past the mando, do it
any of those 3 fights are equally acceptable for Khan
Yeah but that doesn't change the fact he was wobbled by Senchenko. That's definitely an Alarm bell ringing.
Carson Jones has some power but he's not an overly hard puncher.
They just aren't great signs.
True. but i think way too much was put into it.
Completely agree.
He hasn't been dropped yet no.
And to be honest, he came back and knocked Senchenkho out around 30 seconds after he was momentarily buzzed.
Jones can crack a little bit though, and I think Brook took his punches well considering his nose was broken.

Based on what? I don't think we've seen enough of Brook against elite level punchers to say he "doesn't have a chin".
Completely agree.
Seems like he doesn't have a nose :lol1:
He's not been dropped yet as far as I'm aware.
Getting rocked by Senchenko and Jones aren't great signs though.

bumchenko rocked him and he can't punch at all. carson jones had him basically out on his feet and he's an average puncher. glass chin=confirmed!

Khan's also not hard to hit and doesn't have a chin.
Brook's got more than enough power to badly hurt Khan.
Not saying that Brook wins the fight because I wouldn't pick him to win but just that it works both ways in that regard.
Agree, if I were Khan I'd jump on him early that's his best bet.
Brook doesn't have a chin and isn't hard to hit, very very winnable fight for Khan especially in the first 4 rounds, good possibility he can get Brook out of there.

Every last fight there is dangerous for Khan imo..I'd go for the belt tho,with Broner being a close 2nd..
Porter does the most for his career tho..Broner get's him more followers tho,big US spot light there..If he could win..I'd give him a 50/50 shot at both of these guys..
Khan spanks Brooks..Always felt this way..I feel very strongly about it as well,Brook gives me the Berto Vibe..

He sure should fight Brook. I heard the offer to Khan was $8 million but even if it's $5 million I think that is more money than he would get for fighting Mayweather. Everyone talks about what a huge payday a fight with Mayweather is but it isn't as big as some people think. Yes Mayweather makes a fortune but I think Ortiz and Guerrero made $3million each. Bradley made way more than that fighting Pacquiao. When it comes to paying opponents Floyd makes sure he gets most of the money. If Khan beats Brook he can still fight Mayweather later and if he loses he still gets a huge payday.
If Khan beats Kell it doesnt get him a Floyd fight, because Kell in the great scheme of things is a nobody
Broner and Porter do more for his career than Kell
As far as money,the Brook fight will stil be there even if he loses to Broner or Porter
As far as Floyd, who only has a handful of fights left, therefore Khan needs a very high profile win to get back into the running and Kell sadly isnt it.
It'd be better if Brook fights Porter and gets a title and then faces Khan for the belt

this fight needs to happen. Khan will finally get back the respect he has lost.
I'd like to see Porter vs. Thurman winner take on Kell Brook vs. Khan winner
His promoter is extremely interested in making that fight and has stated that probably more than 10 times I'd imagine. I'm not counting but he's said it over and over.
He's said in the latest interview that's been posted in this thread that Kell Brook IS fighting Porter later this year as the Mandatory unless the Khan fight can be made. That's the only fight that will change that which is obviously because it will make a ton of money.
The thing is if the Khan fight is possible than Matchroom are going to strike now.
They aren't going to wait on a fight that will make the money that that fight will make.
Then they should go after the fight and make their own path, Khan does not want the fight. If he does he would have made contact with Brook at the moment, yes the khan fight is a money fight and big over here but it's about time Brook and Hearn do something about their own career instead of hoping khan would come and play ball, so instead of stating it like "10 times" like you claim they should let their actions speak, so far Brook has been "injured" at every opportunity when he has his mandatory shot.
