    Khan would almost certainly make more money fighting Brook than he would fighting Mayweather.

    If he chose Mayweather over Brook, it would be for the challenge, not the payday. I'd have to admire it.

      If this is true then I think Khan's December opponent will not be Alexander or Guerrero but a much lessor fighter instead. Team Khan won't want to fight anybody that good and have the risk of losing and blowing the Brook fight. Khan might be paid more to fight Brook than he would be paid to fight Mayweather who pays his opponents surprisingly little. Neither Guerrero nor Alexander would be ****** enough to greatly lessen their chances of winning by fighting Khan in England in a fight they are suppose to lose so that the Brook-Khan fight can happen.

        Khan only wants the Mayweather fight for a big payday and a potential Brook fight, selling out Wembley Stadium, is a bigger fight financially. Also, Brook is the one who's calling the shots now. He's got the belt and has options at 147 while Khan is begging for fights against contenders on the off chance that he gets a Mayweather payday. It makes sense for Khan to wait for the Brook fight, which he doesn't have to earn.
        Khan is not hurting for money. He just wants to fight Mayweather because god bless him - he thinks he can beat him. The big money would come afterwords, if he did beat mayweather.

          I see people say Khan-Brook is big, but is it Mayweather big? It would no doubt be financially rewarding for Khan to take Kell than Floyd, but if dollars and cents were the only thing then don't you think he would've taken him for $5 million than take Collazo a more dangerous opponent (at the time) for $ 1.5 mil just to be on Mayweather's under card?

          Fighting Floyd is not just about money for Khan, but the prestige that comes with it and the possibility of becoming the first man to beat him.

            Which is something so many here just don't get. Money is everything, but not the ONLY thing in Khan's case.

            Brook will fight in Sheffield.

            Khan will fight in the US on a Golden Boy card.
            Precisely.

            Yes, but Kell is not Floyd Mayweather Jr.

                Khan is scheduled to fight in United States and Kell Brook wants to defend his newly won title in his home city of Sheffield, U.K.
