Is he really going to make so much more than he would against someone like Thurman? Brook has filled arenas and got onto UK PPV with much lesser known opponents. I don't dispute that this is his biggest fight yet, but I'm not sure how much bigger it actually is.
Again, if he loses to a welter, it damages his image of being a beast at welter. Losing to golovkin does nothing to tarnish that, and he can still get a big fight at welter after. If he loses to Thurman he can't. This is the new method for boxers who were good to sell out in two fights instead of one.

The thing is khan was most likely gonna lose to all the top welters anyway, so khan cashing out made sense. But Brook actually has the skill to beat thurman, garcia etc but is gonna ruin his career with a beat down like this.
But the point is, he keeps pulling out injured. Ever since the machete thing. It's obviously affected him. So he's probably shot and looking to cash out along the golovkin, khan route.
