AMIR KHAN has been offered almost 8m to face Kell Brook. The Bolton fighter's promoter Eddie Hearn has urged him to reject 3.9m to face WBO welterweight champion Terence Crawford - and pocket double by facing Brook early next year. Click Here To Read More]
When someone doesn't want to do something they won't do it. It's not about the money, Khan doesn't want to get KO'd by Brook after all the disparaging things he's said over the years etc.
This.
I mean, can anyone every think of a more blatant example of ducking than this in history?
IMO Khan should take the Crawford fight.
Get KO'd for 5 million ( if Crawford can KO him ) and fight one of the P4P guys.
Like Khan said the Brook fight will Always be there .
The Brook fight be there still but not on the same terms. $10m, 147lb and rehydration clause will be gone for sure if he passes it up now.
If Khan used the Crawford fight to get pretty much everything he wanted for the Brook fight, then it worked out very well for him. Now Brook will gladly agree to the re-hydration clause among other things.

"Hearn’s offer to Khan is a flat fee plus an upside of the pay-per-view revenue for the fight should it be more than £7.8m."
I wonder what's the "flat-fee" offer? Is the flat-fee $10M? I believe Khan's offer from TR was $5M plus an upside of the PPV revenue! If the flat-fee is $10.1M, Khan has to take that!
Wow. Hearn finally put his money where his mouth is. I just hope this is real, and not another Hearn lie. Honestly, now it comes down to fighting Craw for half the money but getting to see Brook have a complete, and very public mental breakdown. Or fighting someone he actually has a chance of beating and getting paid twice as much.
It is a tough choice. Money is good, but how often can someone ruin a rival's life?
As for me and everyone else outside of the U.K. I don't care. TC can knock out Khan and Brook can cry and struggle against pub fighters. Or TC can ko Collazo and Khan fight Brook in a fight I don't watch.
