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.
as far as him not having any issue coming to the lou, cool, fight somewhere else in the states. but him demanding a big fight is the u.k. isnt gonna happen any time soon, unless the fighter across from him is amir khan.

Originally posted by DempseyRollin View Postit shouldnt be about if they want to fight kell brook. kell brook should want to fight them more than they want to fight him. say what u want about them but most of them are more proven. if he wants the money, the hbo fights, the bigger promotional contract, these are the fighters he has to beat. they already made it for the most part, irregardless of how good u think they are, they all have more name recognition than brook.

Originally posted by Dirk Diggler UK View PostYou seem to be confused. Im saying if they want to fight Kell Brook instead of taking a "bigger" fight, then there should be no issue about coming to the UK. Brook draws a good crowd. If it makes more sense in the US, then fine. But there's no mandate for it to be in one place over the other.

Originally posted by DempseyRollin View Postbut seem to confused. i was never talking from their point of view. kell brook is the one with things to prove. kell brook came into this wanting to fight a named championship level fighter. well the point is hes never gonna get that fight if he doesnt leave u.k. my point is he has to make them want to fight him. and that doesnt do it.
Its really not the big deal you're making it out to be.

At the same time, there's no way in hell I'd want Kell Brook to fight Alexander in STL. Kell should try and push for a neutral site in America, somewhere like Jersey. That makes the most sense to me. Honestly, I'm surprised this fight was even being negotiated. I'm happy though, because it seems like Brook is actually going to get matched with a legit WW. If they can't get Alexander, they'll probably get Zaveck in the UK for July, which is fine by me for right now.
