1) Because of Eddie Hearn
2) Khan says that he offered Brook the fight, and that Brook's team didn't seem to want it.
Did Mayweather send Ortiz the contract, or did Ortiz send Mayweather the contract when Ortiz was the WBC Welterweight Champion? Mayweather did
Did Cotto send Martinez the contract, or did Martinez send Cotto the contract, when Martinez was the WBC Middleweight Champion? Cotto did
Khan is a much bigger name to Brook, then the difference in popularity between Cotto and Martinez. Yet Martinez accepted a 19/81 split, with Cotto getting 81% of the split!
Before Khan signed the contract with Canelo, he said to Hearn, own up to your £10 Million pound guarantee to fight Brook, and Hearn said that he said $10 Million dollars. Khan rightfully said no, and then offered a 65/35 split to Team Brook, and Brook & Hearn said no. Khan then signed the contract for Canelo.
Brook is a solid fighter, but he is virtually unknown in the UK. He likes to sit at home all day, does **** all to promote a potential fight. Why not antagonise Khan ringside at the Haye fight?
If he really wanted to fight Khan, and believed that he could win, he would accept the 65/35 split, because if he beats Khan in a grudge match with 80,000 fans at Wembley and a 1 Million PPV buys (out of a population of 65 Million), Brook will become a household name, and will be able to have multiple paydays for the rest of his career.
You yanks out there have been mislead on how big Kell Brook is in the UK. He has a pocket of fans in Sheffield, and then anyone who doesn't like Khan, is a Brook fan.
More people stayed up till 3am to see Amir Khan fight Carlos Molina after getting KTFO against Garcia, then those who stayed up to watch Brook fight for a World Title against Shawn Porter.
The contradiction of being obsessed with a so called non entity must be hard, I know must be tough.
At least he doesn't get knocked down every other fight against mediocre opposition.
Calling out the biggest names and then getting KTFO by them.
What a legacy...
You are all over the place silly Billy.
We were talking about his choice of fights , but a hater is always gonna find a reason to hate.
both of the above were not top 5 fighters.(at the time of fight).chris algieri was not top 5..the thing is with khan he thinks hes some special elite operator..granted a house hold name but we fans know when you take "the step/challenge".. khan gets cleaned out
Who was ahead of maidana at 140 when they fought?
Am pretty sure Alexander was ranked top 5 in a few of the governing bodies at the time.
That whole line about getting knocked out when he steps up is wrong, Garcia was the under dog to Khan, he was regarded as a c/B level fighter at the time.
canelo is the one fight where he was genuinely considered to be stepping up.
He lacks concentration, and discipline that's correct, but the point you make is simply inaccurate.
No you are making no sense.
You were saying what's khan doing to further his legend credentials.
I am telling you Khan is being consistent because he is calling out the biggest names in world boxing, not the second best known fighter from Sheffield.
To use even less words...
Calling out biggest names in boxing = wanting to be a legend.
Whether he wins or loses is not the point, you are just moving the goal posts throwing whatever mud you can.
Calling out the biggest names and then getting KTFO by them.
What a legacy...
So what rankings were maidana and Alexander?
Canelo the odds were ridiculously stacked against him, you can't really use that against him as not rising to the challenge, it was an extreme challenge,and he didn't get beaten up did he. both of the above were not top 5 fighters.(at the time of fight).chris algieri was not top 5..the thing is with khan he thinks hes some special elite operator..granted a house hold name but we fans know when you take "the step/challenge".. khan gets cleaned out
so what now khan.. a new trainer? try a tune up fight against chris algieri 2..... froch put it as plain as day on khan...every time khan faces a top ranked 5 fighter he get cleaned out-how true
garcia will clean him out
brook will clean him out
if i was khan i would buy a nice house & enjoy his wife

How many of Khan's balls can you fit in your mouth at a time?
The contradiction of being obsessed with a so called non entity must be hard, I know must be tough.
People? Lol
You mean the bunch of losers you bond with cos you all got psychological reasons about Amir Khan? Have fun mate haha.
The question remains for someone so irrelevant why he takes so much of your time up,how many posts have you written on him?

You struggle with simple nuance don't you.
If broadcasters deem someone to be relevant invariably they are, despite khan being in the US he attracts attention.
Kell has Matchroom and sky,otherwise no one cares.
Kell Brook is more famous for chasing and crying about khan getting canelo, what sort of guy cries about another man getting on with his career, where's his own self pride.
You can't say it can you? Hahaha
We are discussing UK popularity you simpleton :lol1:
Khan and his fans certainly have that in common. Being incredibly thick.
so what now khan.. a new trainer? try a tune up fight against chris algieri 2..... froch put it as plain as day on khan...every time khan faces a top ranked 5 fighter he get cleaned out-how true

No people are literally laughing at how much you love Khan's balls down your throat.

:lol1: Why are you going into which platform does the best work? We're talking about profile here simpleton. A Sky documentary goes out to more people than a BBC radio 5 "special".
Kell is famous for being a world champion. Khan is famous for getting KTFO.
I already said what he brings to the table. What is it you don't get? It's Brook vs Khan that's HUGE. Not Khan on his own or Brook on his own.

Everyone? Seems like it's your irrational side coming out again on the topic of khan, the so called non entity who you always find the time for!
That makes no sense!
No people are literally laughing at how much you love Khan's balls down your throat.
Khan clearly brings out your irrational side.
Sky sports is hardly a fair comparison, since sky will promote Matchroom fighters, BBC are more impartial and they don't see any big deal in kell, why would they go to the effort and cost of creating a feature documentary on Brook vs bizier....they did for Khan's last fight, that's not hard to understand is it? You compared apples with oranges in your anger.
Let me recap, sky = biased to Matchroom
BBC = impartial.
Point being there is nothing anyone sees as being special about kell, this despite the push from sky, yet for a guy based in the states the BBC went to the effort.
Kell is famous for stalking khan and literally crying on live TV when khan canelo got made, so I would not brag about his appearances on TV recently.
Mate, this is hilarious,you simply cannot concede anything in Khan's favour, a stonecold case of irrational hatred.
Just say in plain English what Khan brings to the table, without mentioning kell,can you do that?

Where did I say he had a Radio special done about him? :lol1: He had a Sky special done about him multiple times and has been on BBC 1 live multiple times. Gives way more exposure than a radio special. I concede a simpleton like you wouldn't understand that.
I never said Khan wasn't a factor in that. Khan on his own can't do fuk all in the UK. Brook has done 10k arenas consistently fighting nobodies.
It's the two against each other that's selling the tickets. Surely, even you can understand that.

Kell has a 5live special radio documentary on him? Plesse show me where....
Oh wait.... You weren't thinking the odd 2 min appearance were you? Haha
Do you realise blind hate often leads to illogical statements?
So the fight between the 2 is selling the tickets, you concede this much, but Khan is not a factor in it? That makes sense how, you just implied khan is a factor.
You simply cannot allow ANY words that give khan ANY credit or favour out of your dumbass mouth, lol.
