      anybody in the ww top 10 is a good fight and if he wins it will legitimize him for a floyd fight.

        This is his 3rd chance at a shot a title and he wants to again get out of it

        If he has a belt the fight with Khan will be easier to make
        Of course a Khan fight makes perfect sense to Brook at this point. Understandable if he drops the mandatory.

          It's the money fight, that's for sure. That said, beating Brook wouldn't elevate Khan's status or ranking in the WW division.

          It would be a huge fight domestically, but has no worldwide significance.

            Kell Brook is ranked #4 by Ring magazine, so a good ranking would most likely follow if he beat Brook.

              Wasn't Amir Khan ranked #2 by one of the sanctioning bodies back in November?

                He loses all 3 so he should probably take the money while he still can.

                    He's said in the latest interview that's been posted in this thread that Kell Brook IS fighting Porter later this year as the Mandatory unless the Khan fight can be made. That's the only fight that will change that which is obviously because it will make a ton of money.

                    They aren't going to wait on a fight that will make the money that that fight will make.

                    Then they should go after the fight and make their own path, Khan does not want the fight. If he does he would have made contact with Brook at the moment, yes the khan fight is a money fight and big over here but it's about time Brook and Hearn do something about their own career instead of hoping khan would come and play ball, so instead of stating it like "10 times" like you claim they should let their actions speak, so far Brook has been "injured" at every opportunity when he has his mandatory shot.

                      If he can fight Broner, Porter or Peterson instead, then no.

                      If Brook is the only available option, then sure, why not.
