Comments Thread For: Hearn on Kell Brook: I Hope We See Him Back; Still Has a Lot That He Can Offer

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Promoter Eddie Hearn is holding out hope that Kell Brook will give boxing another shot. The Matchroom head formerly promoted Sheffield, England's Brook, who retired last year not long after knocking out bitter rival Amir Khan in six rounds.

Nearly 38 with two fractured eye sockets and hasn’t fought in 2 years.

Yeah he’s got loads left to give. Hearn is so desperate these days.

Conor Benn can’t even get licensed to fight in Britain, which is the only place this fight would draw.

Kell has undoubtedly sacrificed his mental health and cognitive abilities as well. Still, if a buck can be squeezed out of him fighting on to the death, Hearn is all for it.

He is done, leave him alone.

Use to be a big fan of kell brook but he's done now. Never the same after that golovkin mismatch. He had the khan fight that was what he always wanted and yeah it came way to late but it happened so there's nothing left really for him to do apart from being an opponent for someone on the up it's why hearn wants him to fight again because he wants to feed him to benn and if there's a couple million to be earned brook might wanna do it

I swear Hearn would dig up graves to find an opponent for Conor Benn.

isn’t Duran still alive maybe they can do a catch weight.

Hearn's view 2 years ago:

“Will I sit down and watch Brook-Khan, probably not. Both guys are finished. You just don’t know what’s going to happen. When I was trying to make the fight there was so much more at stake.

Asked if he believes the fight is simply a “money grab” Hearn responded, “Of course,” while adding that money grabs are a part of the business.

“I’ve been involved in money grabs,” Hearn said. “But [Khan-Brook] is [a money grab]. It’s just the two of them going, ‘Let’s not be silly. This is massive money for the both of us. Let’s make the fight, mate.’

“But they are both 50 percent the fighters they once were.

So Brook was 'finished' and only had 50% left back then, but now 2 more years past his prime he still has a lot to offer? Sounds like another 'money grab' that Hearn likes to be a part of.

Kell only stayed Around to hammer Khan , I hope he stays retired he’s payed the sport well. Hearn is a wretch who would sell his grandmother and is trying desperately to get his pay day with the drug cheat at any cost . Good and only move by the BBBOC .
