Comments Thread For: Conor Benn To Explore His Options, Says Kell Brook is Demanding Large Sum

[Nash out]

Khan still holds the rematch clause and Nash thinks he will take it. His tactics were going perfectly and some outstanding rope-a-dope work went punished by A-Star referee, just as King Khan was about the lay Special K out cold. Nash out.

well yeah, Kell got options all of a sudden so the price just went up...Good For Him!

[jas]

hearn said he wouldn't watch brook khan, put brook in vs spence and ggg in ppv fights so he can recoup the money he paid him before that - back to back too in what was awful matchmaking.

and hearn has an exclusive deal with dazn, so brook probably gave a ridiculously high number like 10million to take the piss. brook probably wants to be more loyal to ben shalom, i really think eubank brook happens next on sky sports ppv, and thats a 5050 fight imo

[P to the J]

at this stage in his career theres no pressure whatsoever on benn to rush things opposition wise. he is young and learning his craft.

Mate, you’re tarkin fool-ishness. When he’s gonna step up and quit ducking Shannon ‘The Cannon’?!

Give the people what they want, Benn!

Well, I'm people & I want Benn v Ekow Essuman for the British title. How can Benn go round saying he doesn't know where the next fight is coming from & NOT fight for the British title? From Ted 'Kid' Lewis to Lennox Lewis, from Jimmy Wilde to Duke McKenzie, from Benny Lynch to Lloyd Honeyghan, men have won the British title before they went onto world titles.

The Vulture of 147 is exploring other options. I’ve heard they’re looking at Baldomir and DeMarcus Corley. If Zab Judah can pass a medical he’s in the mix too.

Andre Berto was briefly spotted in the WBA top 15 not too long ago... just saying...

Nash, the irony is starting to wear a bit. Don't you get tired of it? Tell us what you really think

[deathofaclown]

They can always try to get Paulie out of retirement or Collazo. Heck knowing Eddie he'll offer the fight to Robert Guerrero or Devon Alexander

They did offer Robert Guerrero the fight

no joke

They’re not putting Benn in with Brook.

When have they ever put him in with someone with decent power? It’s all publicity. They say top 15 opponents then pick guys like Chris Algieri who hasn’t been top 15 since about 2014. That’s what you can expect with the fights they’re looking for when matching Benn.

A 75% Brook is still better than Benn and they don’t want that risk, hence this backtracking.

When it comes to Benn and his team calling out good names or anyone that can punch, take it with a pinch of salt. He’s fighting Van Heerden next, another guy with no power.

They’re keeping Benn away from anyone that can crack a bit, that’s clear by now. I wonder why..

[PRINCEKOOL]

If they want the fight, they will pay Kell Brook what he wants.
