Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: Thurman Will Travel To UK For Brook Shot

[MDPopescu]

Hearn will not put in danger the new IBF belt which came to the UK... He has big business plans with Brook's belt... Hearn would rather settle a "huge" Brook vs Khan home fight (with a rematch clause, at the Wembley Stadium of course)... Hearn has no reasons in taking a Thurman fight right now... And so on.

[-PBP-]

This won't happen for 3 reasons:

1. Thurman isn't travelling to the UK
2. Why would Brook risk losing a Khan megafight
3. Brook has no obligation to fight Thurman. He's not his mandatory so the fight can't be forced.


Brook will take a tuneup in December and will shoot for Khan in the spring. The only question is will Floyd get to Khan first? Remember Khan can't fight in September so if he doesn't get the May fight next year its over.

The numbers generated in a Brook/Khan fight will no doubt lead to a Mayweather fight in 2015 for the winner. This is why I don't believe the Thurman hype. He plays spoiler for whomever gives him the chance. Too much prospective money to lose.

Khan doesnt need Brook for the Floyd fight

He just needs a win against a notable name i.e The Ghost or Devon and if he wins he has a Floyd fight, leaving Brook out of the picture for now

So Brook and Khan IMO will not happen until after the fight with Floyd

If Khan beats Devon or Ghost next, then u can be sure he has the Floyd fight in the bag, which leaves Brook out of the picture.

Brook needs to pave his own way and not rely on the Khan fight, he needs to position himself against top names and try and get a fight with Pac or even Floyd

I agree. if Khan thinks he is in with a chance of fighting Floyd he won't want to risk it against Brook, who would still be there for him, because of the huge domestic interest, even if he lost bad to Floyd.
So if Thurman is serious about coming to the UK Hearn should grab that chance with both hands.
Thurman would would be a much easier opponent for Brook than Porter was, wherever they fought.

Brook will beat Thurman to me he's still a hype his biggest win is Soto Karass a C level fighter who drop his a$$ until he beats a A level fighter than I'll believe he's the real deal. But at this point he's a Deontay Wilder hype job

I can just imagine oscar having some sort of breakdown over Schaefer leaving. He'll turn to hopkins and be like "you'll stay, right?" Hopkins just kind of smiles then dissapeared one day. Oscar goes mad and only focuses on canelo, his cash cow. He just goes crazy making insane match ups. Starts doing am things like throwing khan to golovkin, even though people say it's nearly impossible. Throwing maidana to Stevenson. Even canelo starts worrying.

You do sound Wako thinking like that, more like wishful thinking, desperatly wanting ODH to fail.

He could have said "USA or nowhere" like Ward did when he was offered the big money fight with Froch in the UK.

I don't know if Ward said that but it's widely regarded he's an idiot. That's why he's had 1 fight in 2 years or whatever and is getting butt ****d by Goosen.

Ward is also in a higher position than Thurman. Thurman has to say he'll do this, that and the other to make himself relevant.

I want to see this fight quite badly.

I don't believe Brook will take it though. Certainly not before one or two domestic opponents not including Khan.

I really don't know if Khan Mayweather will happen. I have a feeling Mayweather is going to fight Danny Garcia, since he is going to soon move up to 147, and that would be an ideal opponent for Floyd, style wise.
