Devon Alexander vs Kell Brook negotiations at a stalemate over date and location.

[Kagami Taiga]

In what way is it pricing himself out?

1. i said it was the equivalent to it

2. why? because he should know very well that neither alexander nor any other top american ww (i.e. andre berto, victor ortiz, mike jones, etc.) are gonna come to the u.k. to fight him. if he thinks thats gonna make fights happen for him, hes gonna continue to fight those euro bums hes been fighting. really its not rocket science.

alexander needs to grow a sack and fight in someone elses hometown for a change

real talk brother

Brook is the one who should travel doesn't have to be The Lou but to the states. If he wants Khan that bad this is the way to at least get in the door show that you have recognition outside UK challenge an opponent in his own country like Khan does.
Alexander can get bigger names staying in the US prob for more money too so he doesn't need Brook at all, can Brook say the same

Not sure if Brook needs to fight in the U.S to prove anything to Khan. At the end of the day if Khan and Brook ever fight. They will fight in the U.K not the U.S. It makes no sense for that fight to be in the U.S.

Why would they not come to the UK? Brook is clearly a big draw in Sheffield. A bigger draw than Ortiz or Berto or Mike Jones (who?) are anywhere in the US. I understand Alexander to an extent because he draws a crowd in St.Louis.

The fight would happen in the UK but it wouldn't diminsh Brooks chances only strenghten if he followed his lead by fighting top guys over the pond which would increase the demand plus he'd get network exposure which could help the deal get done Khan isn't fighting off HBO and they'd be more likely to approve Brook if he were to have succes in the US

lol, u think they care about him being a bigger draw in sheffield? the bottom line is they get paid more for fighting here, there are better fights to be made here than over there, they have the stronger promoter, and they have the better resumes (with the exception of mike jones). brook drawing more in sheffield is not gonna make them change their pitch, hes not a big enough star in u.k. for any of that.

Well yes since he sells more tickets and they'd make more money, I think they would care?

If they can get bigger fights than Brook then that doesn't change whether they fight in the UK or not.

of course it does. i dont think u understand how it works. if they can get bigger fights without going to the u.k. they most certainly have more bargaining power than a guy who cannot get bigger fights without traveling and brook will have to travel for a big fight unless hes fighting khan, thats a definite.

i dunno why u have a chip on your shoulder about this, but its the way it works, rite now the division is being flooded with american talent or fighter who fight out of america, if brook wants to fight more than just zavek or some other euro level contender, hes gonna have to hop across the atlantic. he has absolutely nothing to draw the other fighters to him.

If they can get bigger fights than Brook, going to the UK is irrelevant. They can simply get bigger fights than fighting Kell Brook. If they want to fight Kell Brook, there should be no real issue about coming to the UK.

I dont think Brook has any issue about coming to the US. In this instance, he'd be foolish to fight Alexander in St Louis.

HBO or Showtime would show Khan-Brook. Especially Golden Boy lawyer will have no problem having this fight televised for Golden Boy.

Should Brook come to the U.S to be more successful? Yes. Does he need to, to get a fight with Khan? Absolutely not. Because, that fight will not happen here anyways. And, the networks especially the one that is run by Golden Boy lawyer will show it.
