Comments Thread For: Brook on Amir Khan: Doesn't Want Me, But Still Possible

[Money_May]

Don't get your point. Is khan a bigger draw than brook? sure

Is khan some super draw that should dictate terms to other fighters? no

If you claim khan is a super draw then don't go tell me he is startin to draw similar numbers to all the previous british stars. So basically khan is approaching a level that many other uk fighters already had. Great. Sure makes him one of a kind.

Also the sky decision wasn't completely like that. They chose haye over khan. Guess he's not britian's biggest draw. And the uk consistently outdraws the us for a live gate. Means jack.

We'll see if the crowd is pro khan as you suggest. Using your logic that entire crowd will be khan fans. Since I doubt their will be more than 5,000 paid attendee's

Khan is overrated and Overhyped

Khan sure as hell dictates terms vs brook and most other fighters not named PAC or may. Regardless of what you say khan is becoming a big draw in the states taking 5000 fans over in this economy is huge and by next year at the age of just 25 he will be drawing crowds of 10000 plus easy in the states. And considering he's not Mexican or puerto rican or American that's huge numbers for a foreigner who has no huge fan base living in America. Berto, bradley and ward 3 top US fighters don't draw those numbers.

Khan vs Lamont is expecting a 12000 crowd so with khan only having 5000 it's not gonna be a pro crowd that will be a lamont pro crowd just in case your not good with numbers

Neither can Khan, that's why sky dropped him and he's fighting in peterson's hometown. Stop pretending he is some ricky hatton. the man's a ****ing joke.

His resume is vastly overrated. Malignaggi sucks, mccloskey come on. Kotelnik is overrated. Maidana beat his a$$. Peterson? The man runs off at the mouth and then fights has beens or never was.

He won't fight brook, he'll fight hatton and his idiot fans will say hatton's a bigger draw....................clown

Funny thing is even Hatton's resume > Brook's now based on the Alvarez fight alone. Hatton accomplished more by not getting KO'd by Alvarez than Brook has in his entire career LOL Hell Khan's win over Zab makes him more relevant at WW than Brook, who has yet to fight a single top 10 fighter while Khan will have fought 6 after Peterson.

He's been a prospect coming contender the last 3 years! And like I said he's got talent and potential and I support his career but he needs to wake up and do something relevant before he says 'I will knock out pacquiao' and 'I will spark out khan'! Seriously?!?

This is what kills me. Khan is talking out his ass everyday on boxingscene, yet you have a problem with kells proclamations?

Khan is the mouth that roared. Brook just dominated the number 7 welter. What ranking was judah? Or mccloskey?

The polish man was 7 rated welter by ring magazine. Nice try though.

i agree, mm - i think it'll be huge. can't see TK taking it though.

sky didn't choose anyone over anyone. khan's fight against mccloskey wasn't drawing ppv's, so they put it on normal sky. tk were miffed that it was on sky sports 4 (i think) and not on the main sky sports 1. pt came in with an offer at the 11th hour to put it on ppv, so they took it. the relationship ended there.

If it's a unification khan v brook will happen that would be a mega fight in britain. And yeah your right with the sky scenario they wanted to put khan on SS3 which people have to subscribe for lol. TK said put it on SS1 or 2 and you got a deal but sky got greedy and wanted loads of people to subscribe for SS3 on a minimum 6 month contract = pound signs for sky. So TK went to primetime.

At the Peterson conference TK said that there in discussions with a few T. Networks over the next fight so maybe he'll be back on sky guess we just gotta wait and see.

sorry but i'm struggling to get my head round this 5000 fans for previous fights and expected for the peterson fight. not saying he hasn't mm, but is there any chance you could send me a link to show this? not to prove your point but because i'd be interested to see this.

McCloskey was ranked 10 and undefeated against Jack's 9 losses. I'll take an undefeated Eurobum over one with 9 losses. Judah was ranked at number 5 and had just won a belt after KOing Mabuza coming off his beatdown of Kendall Holt, whom many consider to be Bradley's best win.

I think Khan's domination over Kotelnik is one win he never gets enough credit for. That guy came off a 1 yr layoff to arguably beat Devon Alexander in his hometown, yet he couldn't win a round off Khan in his JWW debut

Fact.....british travel well with their fighters.

Fact......khan is helped by training with manny and freddie.

Fact......khan is the draw against brook.

Fact......brook is better than hatton.

Fact.....peterson is no higher rated at jr welter than rafael was at welter.

Fact.... I don't know **** about british tv.

everything else is opinion. I feel khan is a loud mouth joke. He was on the upswing until maidana stole his heart. Since then he has fought euro bum, shot overrated american and another guy coming off a draw in which that fighter was floored twice.

Fanboys please stop with the hatton is better than kell. It's ridiculous

Is it khans fault that one press conference gets spilt into 4/5 diff articles on boxing scene? Use your brain and see were there quotes came from and when before you talk.

Judah was 5th and a beltholder, mccloskey was 10th. Now you **** on khan for fighting lamont who's bottom half top 10 you said. Let's have a look at the top 10. Khan is number 1, Bradley is number 2 (khan tried his best to make this fight), maidana is 3 (already beaten), Devon is 4 (now moved up to WW), Lucas is 5 ( currently Injured) and lamont is 6. So khan is fighting the highest possible ranked guy he can fight.

He had 3000-4000 for the Judah fight just google it I'm sure it will come up I'm on my phone so can't be bothered to google copy and paste lol. And considering DC is a lot closer for brit fans to travel to there expecting 5000 there. One major point that might stop people travelling is that it's supposedly cold/snowing in DC around that time, I wouldnt travel anywere were it's gonna be cold lol I'm a tropical person I need sun.
