KELL BROOK has vowed to end boxing rival Amir Khan's career for good as a potential British superfight between the two draws nearer. Promoter Eddie Hearn confirmed yesterday that preliminary talks were under way between the two parties. Click Here To Read More]
It's simple, if Brook would rather fight Khan for the payday then just drop the IBF belt so Spence could fight for it. Spence is after the belt, Brook has the belt and needs to defend it against his mandatory Spence. What people hate is Brook holding the belt hostage, especially when he has done nothing in his career but beat 1 legit fighter and get his ass kicked by GGG. Khan shouldn't even give him that pay day
Khan wouldnt box him if he had an alternate opponent for decent money. Brook got beat by triple g but gave him more of a fight then any of GGG last 5 opponents put together, boxingscene score card gave rounds 2 & 3 to Brook, thats something, given most the fully fledged middleweights couldnt win a single round. I would like spence to fight for the belt against the title holder rather then box a lower ranked opponent for the vacant title which wouldnt prove much. Spence/brook id say is a very good fight 50-50, khans/brook is simply too much money. We shall see what the ibf has to say about it as it does seem like it will be khan before spence. Generally ibf are strict on mandatories so cant see them allowing brook another voluntary. See what happens.
I favor Brook but I wouldn't be totally surprised if Khan wins, it's a long shot cause I think Brook has more power and skill and clearly has a better chin but Khan does have his speed
Paraphrasing Deion Sanders: When a big 250lb. fullback is charging downhill fullspeed at a 190lb. cornerback, the cornerback has to make a "business decision!" Brook is making a very wise business decision! Vacate the title, and get paid! This is not about belts! This is both business and personal! Should make for a great fight! Spence Jr. will be the IBF WW Champ. The only question is, if he can't fight Brook, maybe the Bradley fight for the WBC #1 contender is a better move? I wish it was possible that Spence Jr. vs. Bradley would be for the IBF WW Championship!
People need to stop mentioning spence making out brooks ducking, khan v brook makes both fighters millions of english pounds, brook v spence even on the 75-25 mandatory split, its going to be half if not less then what brook gets for fighting khan. In regards to the fight itself it is a 50-50 fight. By the time this fight happens khan would not have boxed at 147 in 2 years, khan will have just as much trouble making 147 as brook.

Instead of asking Khan to sign, why don't you ask Spence to sign the same contract since he's your mandatory. This guy known for beating one legit fighter in Porter and getting his face smashed in by GGG, and somehow believes he's entitled to big paydays and fights. As annoying as Khan is, at least he got in the ring and beat some legit competition.
because Spence doesn't bring the payday Khan does..Brook is simply a bidness man.

Wow! So, for the last 6 yrs, the guy whose name you made your own name off of? Talk about gratitude. If it wasn't for living off of Khan's name, GGG probably wouldn't have even fought him.
The premise of Kell Brook being relevant across the pond and his entire career in fact revolves around "the guy who will fight Khan". 12 yrs pro almost entirely at Welterweight, 37 fights, 36 wins, 3 1/2 yrs World Champ & only 1 good win only proves my point.
Can't wait to see The King liver shot him for the 10 count.
