    The Vulture claims Brook has “outpriced himself” in fight negotiations.

    Pretty sure to “outprice” means to sell at a lower rate than competitors.

    Anyway looks like Brook-Benn negotiations have begun to stall.

    You know who wouldn't outprice himself? David Avanesyan.

    Kell Brook has options now. He is an attractive opponent for several fighters, some much bigger names than Conor Benn.

      The negotiations stalled the minute Brook looked better than everyone expected. But it’s too late to say we change our minds because we’ve been screaming Brooks name up until now. So a way to save face is to say negotiations have stalled.

        I can't imagine Brook will fight again for anything less than £5 million

          I assume by options, you're referring to PBC WWs? I wouldn't mind Thurman.

            Eddie Hearn said he offered him more than he made against Khan and Brook counter offered with a number 3 times higher than Hearn’s offer.

            I find that incredibly hard to believe.

              Hahaha did he actually say that? That’s definitely bullsh**. The brass neck on that fella.

              Brook had a £3m guarantee plus PPV upside and the fight reportedly done “Joshua type figures” so you’re talking close to a million buys minimum. So even if he’s on just 10% that’s another £2m.

              There’s no way in hell Brook-Benn is worth anywhere near that and there’s even less chance Eddie would overpay the fighters to deliver “great value” for the fans.

                PBC welterweights but even the Amir Khan rematch.

                  Brook is the A side so he calls the shots. Conor should pipe down and fight someone under the age of 40

                    Yeah he said it on IFLTV.

                    He also said on another channel that the Brook-Khan numbers were “poor” even though Adam Smith confirmed they exceeded atleast 500k.
