    Do You Really think Khan vs Brook would have the Wembley stadium seats filled up

    I actually doubt that Khan-Brook clash for the IBF Welterweight Title can be Wembley stadium sellout possibly depends on the under cards.

    I agree. It would do very well no doubt but it can't see the personalities clashing as much as froch and groves. It would be a good fight for sure just harder to sell.

      Its already massive in the UK. They hate each other, have a history and would make for a good fight.

      Sell out Wembley? Maybe not, but easily 50,000.

        Isn't Brook a bigger draw than Khan in the UK? For Khan-Brook to sell out Wembley they have to have a really big build up/rivalry going on...just like Froch-Groves had from their 1st fight.

        I don't think Khan-Brook can sell out at Wembley as of now.

        If Khan-Brook happens to be a sell out at Wembley & Khan wins...there wouldn't be any doubt about Mayweather making the Khan fight happen!

          Khan is more known, Brook is more liked.

          If the fight happens you'll be looking at a huge crowd and at least 75% will be supporting Kell.

            The fight would do crazy numbers imo,Both hate each other and have a history.And the pair of them are very good boxers,so that always helps lol.

            Add to the fact that Khan has loads of haters and also loads of fans,Brook has a decent following also.Recipe for a good turnout i would say.

              Absolutely.

              It won't be an instant sell out probably, but with a good 3 months promotion, it'll do the 60/80k depending on how much of Wembley they'll open up.

              Matchroom just have too much momentum at the moment.

                Khan has been a household name in the UK for the past decade. Brook is really not that well known outside Yorkshire.

                  I think that's been changed recently.

                    Brook's profile may have increased with his recent media attention but no one will have even watched the Porter fight.
