Doesn't really matter to fans. What matters is the possibility of Khan vs Thurman getting made. Brook will continue to fight No no Dans because he fears losing his chances with Khan and the big 2.
Mind-boggling to see people trashing Khan, yet praising a worse hype job in Brook. I don't mind them trashing both, praising a guy fighting no no dans after winning a title is just as idiotic.
I disagree that Pacquiao easily beats Brook.
Brook is long, fast, not slow like Margarito and Rios. Has a great jab and good snap.
Pac might win, but if he does win will not be easy.
Brooks sharp right, and long jabs could hold Pac at Bay.
Brook was going to fight September 12th regardless but according to Hearn it looks like he won't make it and will fight in October/November instead.
If Mayweather comes calling he may suddenly be able to make 12th September again but doesn't look too promising.
Good fights, but the lineup doesn't make sense, especially for September 2015 (with Mayweather-Brook also ending up with the PPV being on Sky Box Office in the UK). You need fights that maximize the potential take on the event:
Mayweather(c) vs Brook(c)
Jack(c) vs Groves
Mares vs Santa Cruz
Joshua vs TBA
Frampton just signed with Haymon
Why would they want to have such an expensive under card? Brook is not that known in America to begin with, so I doubt they'd want to slice the pie any thinner.
Floyd put up nearly $4m for the undercard of Mayweather-Maidana, and Floyd put up nearly $3m for the undercard to Mayweather-Alvarez; if he determines that that is the way he wants to go with his card, he'll put up the necessary money.
Beyond that, the US isn't the only market where the fight will be sold on PPV. The UK, Canada, and Puerto Rico will all likely be selling the fight on PPV, in addition to the US numbers.
Market the fight properly and the pie is plenty big enough.
This thread is funny but khan deserves a fight with Floyd over brook hands down.
Khan has done way more than brook has.
He has done way more b*tching, yeah I agree.
I bet the Co Main Event would be Santa Cruz vs Frampton, another good way to bring out a lot of the UK Fans. Also Joshua said he planned to fight on 9/12. Bring him out to the states and we can see him fight as well against a Mexican Heavyweight, Chris Arreola Perhaps
Mayweather vs Brook
Santa Cruz vs Frampton
Joshua vs Arreola
What else.

Doesn't really matter. Neither of the UK's 2 Welters can hold a candle to Pacquiao or Mayweather. Too experienced, too accurate, too fast..
Floyd would counter them all night,; Pacquiao would out-work/stop them.
Let them face each other first.
So Khan wouldn't 9-3 Floyd anymore?
Trust me, it would be anything but "temporary".
NSB won't have collectively laughed as hard and long since Broner lost to Maidana
hahaha, a little "spiteful" but true . . . and deserved after Khan's "being a c*nt about it" comment about a fight with Brook. I think he might come to regret that remark.
