Comments Thread For: Amir Khan vs. Kell Brook Sells Out in Ten Minutes

Cool. I'll still be watching.

Same.

But this is a farce - Boxxer bought 70% of the tickets. They need to find a better time of the year to play this type of trick - not during Christmas. And definitely not in a place like Manchester.

Hahahahaha! Jesus Cristo! Brits will buy just about anything...

People seem surprised about two has-beens selling out a huge stadium..
But you have to remember. There's about 10 years of marketing on this. A lot of bad blood. So that type of fight sells easy.
Pacquiao Marquez would sell out right now if it was announced for June

Brits didn’t those tickets - Shalom bought the tickets.

It's honestly not a bad fight I mean it was ok for Crawford to fight both of them recently why can't they fight each other? It's a big money fight in the UK and there is definitely some bad blood so should be entertaining. I'm picking Khan, I think even with his papier mache chin he is too fast for Brook who is going to struggle with the weight as he looked pretty big during the presser. I can see Brook getting tagged up and TKO'ed in the later rounds but we shall see I wouldn't bet on it because Brook does have ok power think it's a bit overhyped because the only person he knocked out was Senchenko who also got knocked out by Malignaggi so aside from that nobody at the top level.

I am not sure why people are acting as if, Brook and Khan are retired fighters 'Just suddenly deciding to fight again'.

Kell Brook in his last fight, fought Terrence Crawford and Khan has been unbeaten for awhile now. Yes they may not be at their peak, but? They are still 2 of the best 147 pounds fighters in the UK 'I think Amir Khan is anyway, as he can still make the weight'.

Overall, I knew that this fight would be quite popular. At the end of the day, boxing is about match ups 'It is not about titles entirely'.

It is about match ups, that excite and enthrall society. Khan vs Brook has a theme, both fighters have genuine dislike for each other. Deep down this is what people want to see, not two best mates fighting 'Then being all matey matey after the fight'.

I have notice the way the media and certain sections of the boxing community, gush and overly promote fighters being all respectful and matey matey. I couldn't not care less, the only respect you need to show your opponent is 'Preparing seriously and not cheating'.

I remember the last time I brought a Amir Khan PPV .........he lasted 56 seconds !

This is not sport, this is farce. It would have been a sport years ago, at least before both of them were practically KOed by Crawford.

I will stop short of farce. They have both been at least active, so they legit are still true boxers.

Shells of themselves? Damaged goods? Totally less interesting? All true. But they are at least active. It is gonna be a train wreck, but that may be a part of the appeal.

I will pick Kahn... for absolutely no reason other than everyone else seems to be picking Brook.
