The guy is going to move to 154 after spending his entire career at Welterweight, 36 fights and only fought ONE fighter ranked in the TOP 20 at Welterweight. This is proof that he is a farce, a waste of space and doesn't deserve 'the big money fights'.
There is no way you can defend this man. Yes he became a World Champion, but he hasn't defended it against a single World Class fighter. That makes you a Paper Champion.
You guys have fallen for the Sky Sports and Eddie Hearn hype train. This lazy, uninspired, hungerless fighter has been built up his entire career, to cash out against a particular fighter. A fighter who now happens to be at the lowest point in his career and personal life (KO loss, hand operation, sex tape and family fued), and Kell is still only just the odds favourite to win. In reality, Khan has 1% chance to win, he's finished.
Kell has done nothing for boxing, or anything noteworthy outside the ring. He will retire as the guy who wanted to fight Khan. What a joke of a career, whose entire life aspiration has been to touch gloves with a B or C grade fighter.
Kell Brook is a joke, and I can't wait till Errol Spence busts open his eye socket once again, because he wasn't 'motivated' for the fight.
If brook stays at 147...and then beats spence, i wonder how many people who have actively slagged him off will come on here and say he was the better fighter and deserves credit, how many will make excuses for or about spence and of course, how many will just completely forget they even mentioned their distaste for Kell.
If he moves to 154, i'll be on here calling it a ***** move and saying he shoulda fought spence.I don't think Brook is a poor fighter but I do think Spence is a better fighter and Brook should fight him, the sooner the better. I wouldn't blame Brook for moving to 154 if he is weak at 147 but just hurry up and move up then. If he beats Spence that would be a great win and I would say so.
He is still less of a joke than Khan. He has a win over Porter while Khan has no welterweight win over a guy as good as Porter.Brook didn't just start to pursue a fight with Khan now. He has been trying to get a fight with Khan for many years and Khan has always turned him down flat.Both Khan and Brook are braggers who have done little to back up their very high opinion of their fighting ability.Brook needs to fight Spence next or vacate his welterweight title. Khan does so little fighting he might as well be retired. He fought Canelo for a big payday but he only averages about 1 fight a year against poor opponents. If Brook won't fight Spence then I wish he would fight Khan. It would be the battle of the big bragging British bull sh*ters.

The rivalry between them is such that neither is going to accept the other getting one over on them to such an extent, as much as fans dont want it to be boxing is still a business.
Exactly boxing IS a business at this level, Brook is bad business for Khan, just like Spence "might" be bad business for Brook. The great thing for Khan is he has zero obligation to fight Brook, his resume is already better (Win or lose) than brook, Brook on the other hand has a decision to make. Fight Spence who is hungry or not.
Why does that matter if and when he destroys Khan? Amanda Nunes just KTFO Rousey who made 3million compare to her 160K or so, Do you see Rousey celebrating getting paid more? Nah

The problem with taking the fight for that split would be that Khan will forever be going on about how he won the negotiations and Brook was stupid to accept such a paltry split

If he doesn't fight Spence, after holding the title for 2 years and fighting the likes of Gavin, that's very difficult to justify.
I remember jumping up and down when he got the porter decision, i still got that fight on sky saved up.
Someone on here said "I hope he doesnt take the title hostage whilst fighting bums in the UK", i replied to that person by saying i hope not too, because knowing Hearn they would milk that title all the way.
To now say am shock would be an understatement, at 147 to not have got anyone on his resume in that time is a disgrace, fighting GGG is NOT going to disgiuse how bad that looks, Khan ducking Brook is not going to distract that neither.
Yes i would, if am acting desperate and my resume is thin with no one of note on it? Yes i would KO my bitter rival and make a name for myself, Money wouldn't even come into it.

I kind of agree. Of course in an ideal world brook would get 40% atleast. But this has been dragging on too long. Need to call khans bluff. See how Khan tries squirming his way out this time
Just playing devils advocate here...
If you were a World Champion, and the purse was 10 million pounds, would you just give up £2 million to your most bitter rival to make a point?
All these people saying Khan is a clever businessman for pricing himself OUT of a fight, yet Brook (as Champ) should fight for 30% is a coward for not 'proving a point'.
Just makes no sense to me.

That's why he should take the 30% with Khan. To show he isn't just doing it for money.

I seen this happening, and actually made a thread about this after or before he won the title, about how they are gonna keep the title HOSTAGE in the UK....
Being honest though, I know he hasn't fought anyone of note, but I really think that's not his fault, I think Eddie and sky are behind this,blocking fights to keep the belt so they can have ppv shows in the UK...
Now I could be wrong, but I do feel that Kell himself wants to fight anyone, but his team, Eddie and sky are calling whatever and he feels he owes them so won't take a stance...
Bit like Pacquiao and arum situation
