I dont know exactly what this tweet means and Showtime showed Daniel Jacobs, Lamont Peterson and Danny Garcia name to promote the Aug. 9th card @ Barclays but said nothing about Shawn Porter vs Kell Brook.

I just asked Shawn Porter's father if they were facing Kell Brook on Aug 9th, he smiled and said,'It's sketchy".... #boxing
I think Shawn Porter vs. Kell Brook will end up being the co-feature for the Mayweather card. I believe Floyd is leaning toward Thurman which is why the 154 & 147 belts will be on the line.
Lots of people have been tweeting Eddie Hearn about it and he's said everything is signed on there end they're just waiting for Golden Boy to confirm. He also said Brook will be fighting for the title no matter what, if Porter pulls out then he has to vacate.
A buddy of mine helps roberto Garcia the fighter. They're in Vegas right now preparing for Prescott. He said they spoke to shawn porter and he said it would be kell brook in September. Sounds to me like it will be on the mayweather undercard.
I am told @ShowtimeShawnP vs. @SpecialKBrook will NOT be on the 8/9 card in Brooklyn. Will be some other date, if at all. #boxing— Dan Rafael (@danrafaelespn) June 23, 2014
If Kell pulled out that is complete BS :no:
Or maybe it is uncertain because of Promotion Issues who knows I guess we will have to wait and see but I hope this fight happens
Brook pulled out 2X
Lol so what? Does that mean he gets a pass.
He pulled out when Kell was looking like a beast and smashing up his sparring partners.
Mayweather would be retarded to face Porter over Maidana. That PPV would be a major BOMB. Especially going head to head with Chavez Jr.
EDIT: After further thinking about it, Mayweather would be smart to face Porter instead of Maidana. "Health comes first."

Forget this fight then and don't allow Brook to be mandatory and let the guy actually earn it.
Make Marquez vs Porter instead
Brook signed last week and Hearn said they were waiting for it to be counter-signed.
He's been real quiet on his twitter about the fight maybe that's why. Wonder how this sh1t's gonna play out, Brook deserves his shot.
Do you know when he signed? From what I know there was a verbal agreement over the terms between Hearn and Porter's team for August 9th and Kel was supposed to sign the contract within 48 hours. After Porter's dad said he still hasn't signed. This is what Hearn said after the agreement:
I hope he's signed and there is no problems on his end. Just seems a bit weird that we've had no official confirmation since.

Brook has signed the contract

'I have been quite vocal on Twitter in not announcing fights until contracts are signed. The process is simple – you agree terms and then you proceed to contract. That is where we are at in this moment. Those contracts will be executed within the next 24 or 48 hours.
I hope he's signed and there is no problems on his end. Just seems a bit weird that we've had no official confirmation since.
Has Brook pulled out of any fight other than the Alexander one when he was injured?
People in here are so quick to jump on fighters
Nope. They also conveniently forget that Alexander also pulled out of that fight.
