The UK boxing fans are demanding that the Khan vs Brook fight happens next. There seems to be noise coming out of team Khan that global boxing fans would rather see Khan vs Pacquaio.
So who should Khan face next and why? If it doesn't face Brook now is he ducking?
I say Pac so he could cash out and retire. He doesn't have the chin for boxing and he would get wrecked by both Pac and Brook. He might as well go for the better paycheck.
thats the point. the brook fight is more lucrative than the pacquiao fight for khan. khan as the A side against brook is worth more than the b side against pacquiao. due to pacquiao taking the biggest piece of the pot.

2:10 mark hearn makes that perfectly clear
A Brook vs Khan fight would be a mega PPV event over in the UK. Would Khan vs Pacquiao do good numbers on US PPV?
manny vs khan isnt ppv in america.
espn+ is the best they can do in america
Pacquiao. It's been talked about for years and they have each lost a step, so it's still a competitive match up.
I wouldn't mind seeing a Brook/Porter rematch, see how that plays out. Or Brook vs. Danny Garcia, even though there is no compelling reason to make that fight other than I think it would be a good fight.
Kell Brook in my opinion. His pathetic performance damn near getting knocked out by a cherry pick 30 to 1 underdog did not earn him a high dollar title fight with Pacquiao.He has ducked Brook for the many years Brook has been chasing him. It's high past time Khan showed some guts and fought Brook even though he seems to fear Brook would knock him out.
Like I said its old sh^t so its not relevant to if he's ducking NOW. Idr all that bs from several years ago so maybe he did or didn't duck him back then, but typically these ducking debates are lame ass arguments by people that don't fight or understand this is a business & there are more variables going on with situations then sh^t someone said that one time or w/e.
I understand lotsa boxing fans got that schoolyard mentality with fighting & call outs & bs like that. But that doesn't have anything to do with boxing on the level we talk about here.
Brook is an idiot if he wouldn't fight Pacquiao over Khan. Thats a legacy fight for any of these guys around right now.
Say Manny is old or w/e if you want & its not like you are wrong, but that doesn't change the fact Manny's a legend & his name on Khan's or Brook's resume would sexy it up massively.
And I think Khan would fight ANYONE. He's not the smartest mfer around. He's got delusions of grandeur & maybe isn't even capable of being fearful of another boxer. I do think he dislikes Brook & doesn't really wanna be a part of him getting a payday, but thats a different situation I'd argue.
He doesn't like Brook and he knows it's risky and isn't willing to risk losing to a guy he doesn't like even for a massive pay day.
When all the other options are exhausted he might fight him. Until then he won't and he's shown that for years.
I say Pac so he could cash out and retire. He doesn't have the chin for boxing and he would get wrecked by both Pac and Brook. He might as well go for the better paycheck.
He'll make more money as an A side with Brook than a B side with Pacquaio.

Well you don't fight do you? So from that argument you wouldn't know either.
Brook literally ducked Khan for years in one of the most blatant ways ever. You don't remember it, ok whatever I don't care I am just letting you know that fact.
He's not ducking him right now because he has barely any big money options left. Doesn't change the fact he ducked him for years and even now he still will exhaust all other options before entertaining Brook which will make him more money than any other option currently.
Not hard to see.
That sounds like old sh^t to me. I don't care about some old sh^t all that much & more importantly idr all the particulars of that to comment on it.
But I'm commenting on now...today. And Khan isn't ducking Brook by fighting a legend in Manny or a better higher ranked fighter with a belt like Bud, Spence, Thurman or Porter.
Well that "old sh^t" is literally him ducking him which is pretty relevant to this conversation.
He ain't fighting any of those guys mentioned except Pacquaio because he's old and has a name.
He will only fight Brook when there is literally no other way to make a big pay cheque. We KNOW he has been ducking Brook for years and I thought now there would be small enough options for it to happen but no he wants to drag Manny out the retirement home instead.
He doesn't want to risk fighting Brook even for a massive pay day it's so obvious to see.
I'd rather see Manny. I think thats a more interesting fight. Never been into Brook all that much. I think Manny vs Amir is the more fun fight too.
Yawn at any ducking debate with Khan here. He's fought too many quality guys to be accused of ducking Brook of all people. I do think he doesn't like that cat for some reason & doesn't wanna help him get paid off of his own name or something along those lines.
How can it be seen any other way than Khan ducking?
Khan said publically if Brook wins a world title he'll fight him, Brook wins one, offers him a career high pay day and a chance to win his first world title at 147 and first title at all since 2012 and he turns it down?
How is that not ducking?
I really hope Khan gets embarrassed. I want him to fight Brook just so I can watch him be disrespected to the fullest. Dude's a hoe, he got beat up in his own town.
I think Manny would destroy Khan, he always buckles under that kind of offence.
I'm good with both fights. I bet Brook would face Khan even if Pacman whoops him first.
