    Porter should come over and beat brook in England, that would drum up massive interest in a fight with Khan here in the uk. Khan could try and pick up 'Showtimes' title as a bargaining tool for a fight with Floyd next May and porter could destroy Khan to solidify himself as a viable opponent for Mayweather.

      This sounds like a good plan if he is confident of stopping Brook, always a risk of not getting a fair shake traveling for any fighter.

        I'm the first guy to call out guys like Ward and Mayweather on their BS about taking fights overseas...

        But there is no reason Porter should go to the U.K. to fight Brook. Brook has fought cab drivers in the U.K. for so long..he's almost 30 and still hasn't fought an elite contender..these U.K. promoters love to milk their fighters in the U.K. market as long as possible before cashing out..

        This new version of Porter dominates Brook and probably stops him..

          They should fight in the venue that they are going to get paid the most.

          Brooks is a popular fighter that hasn't fought anybody of note

              There not fighting for some US state title this is the world championship, the champion should be willing to prove he is the best in the world, not just his backyard.

                Why?

                What has nationality got to do with it? Americans are more entitled to home town title shots?

                  You're beyond the definition of a Brittard smh

                  Dont blame any of the yanks for mocking Brook especially since he clearly wants to duck the fight for Amir Khan haha...
                  pathetic Khan would probably KO the fraud.

                      If the money is good then why not? Porter might have a belt but he can't bring the sort of money that Brook would bring if the fight happens in the UK, yes I understand that gives home advantage to Brook but porter should be able to KO if he is as good as people are making him out to be, now am not saying he can or cannot and am not one of this nationalistic idiots but if the fight happens in the UK it would be a mega fight for porters career especially if he wins, it would just be an undercard fight in the USA with lower pay.
