Amir Khan offered $8M to fight Kell Brook

[toshmurph]

Just been announced by Eddie Hearn that Amir Khan has been offered £5 million ($8 million) to fight Kell Brook!

That's probably the most lucrative fight right now for khan, Brooks been trying to force a fight with him for years and there's genuine animosity between them stemming from a sparring session a few years back!

Personally I'd be surprised if khan takes the fight, Brook is an athletic boxer as well as a big puncher, if it were to happen I can't see Khan going the distance!

He said $5 Million on the IFLTV Interview not £5 Million.

5 or 8 million, what!? How is Khan getting paid so much!?

He makes more than the entire UFC roster makes in 5-7 PPV cards.

Thats a lot of money not even most of floyds or mannys opponents get that much

He said $5 Million on the IFLTV Interview not £5 Million.

Either way that's a nice payday and a popular name on his resume. They should make it happen.

Are you sure that £5 million ($8 million) is Kahn's purse only?
Hearn doesn't make such offers unless the fight takes place at a stadium...

[Earl-Hickey]

That's more than he would have got vs Floyd, if he doesn't take it he really is an idiot

I'd prefer Brook-Broner, but this fight is still intriguing. I was high on Brook a few years back, but his career seems to have stagnated. Khan may have the chin of a prepubescent girl, but he's never in a dull fight.
