Comments Thread For: Hearn: Khan Won't Be Happy, Brook Calling The Shots

[Dirk Diggler UK]

You seem to think you have promotional experience. Quit playing pretend. Both are large paydays. But to say you believe "a well promoted" UK fight makes more $$$ is to say you have a clue. Actually, a UK fight with Brook & Khan is the ONLY fight Khan deserves.... Barely. Even that fight is a big risk for Khan because when Brook blows him up in the ring, he can forget any other big payday in the US. Getting stretched out by Garcia, Peterson and Brook, basically closes the curtains on the Khan-job show.

You've never seen Khan-Peterson, have you?

Your posts are embarrassing.

Lol @ everyone getting carried away. It was a great win don't get me wrong but Khan has a bigger following and has been well known longer than Brook. His win over Porter doesn't make him a superstar overnight, it's not like he beat Mayweather.

I don''t have to be a promoter, idiot. I follow the sport, can read and listen to interviews.

Khan said he was offered $4mil for Mayweather (inc.). Hearn offered Khan $5mil for Brook. I know you're not very clever, so I'l spell it out for you.... from previous offers Khan would have made 20% more for the domestic fight.

Khan doesn't have a belt, Brook has a belt. Khan's following came because of his accomplishments ie belts. His drawing power won't fade because he no longer has any belts, but Brook is the titleholder so I'd say he has some leverage it all depends on how the climate is in British boxing. I live in the US now so I have no idea.

Khan wasnt offered $5mil..Hern admitted he was just throwing random numbers in the air

Khan also said he was offered nothing, nor was a serious offer ever made.

Just some crap to bait Khan.

Eddie Hern aka Troll is always talking shart, proper whind up merchant

Lots of fighters say they have or haven't received this or that depending on how they want to be perceived. I've seen an interview with Hearn & Kugan Cassius where he clearly says the offer was made. You say not... pointless conversation.

Believe who you want to, but Khan's obvious desperation for the Mayflower fight puts him in a weak bargaining position. Unlikely to get a "massive" payday. Whereas, pre-Froch/Groves 2 Hearn says he offered $5mil. Now that Hearn's tasted the success of a Wembley sell out, he knows there big money to be made and he'll make offers accordingly.

That's khan fault

I think it will be more too.

70% is the absolute least it will be, but it could easily be an 85-90% Brook crowd.

The TV didn't do it justice, you had to be there to realise just how heavily boo'd Khan was at Froch-Groves II. It was wild.

Khan-Froch have had issues in the past and many if not most people in that crowd were Froch fans.

Both Carl and Groves were boo'd into the ring, it was a very split crowd...until Khan was on screen, then it was a crowd united in booing.
