Why isnt Khan aggesivly seeking out Brook?

[jai mari078]

I recall Khan also callin out Broner, but Broner wanted no part of that!!!

I think Brook will stop Khan , maybe he thinks it too .

[SeekDaGreat]

I'm pretty sure this fight is a foregone conclusion, and nothing that needs to be agressively seeked. This fight is all but a done deal.

[BattleAxePurist]

Mayweather is Khan biggest fight not so much in dollar terms but in the grand scheme of things a win over him trumps 1,000 wins over Brook.

Khan is Brook's biggest most significant fight there's no one else that would garner the notoriety that win would.

I understand he wants the shot at Mayweather but after Mayweather burned him last year I wouldnt hold my breath. Now he wants a pacquiao showdown who is on a different network. But why is Brook like the third or forth option. Doesnt he stand to make more money fighting Brook anyways?

He wants to get paid millions to get beaten down, that won't happen against Brook.

[Sugar Adam Ali]

Because he is looking for bigger fights ie Floyd n manny...


Brook is just a fall back option

[boliodogs]

Good question. I am sure his paycheck for fighting Brook would be much larger than his paycheck for fighting Mayweather would be. If he beat Brook his chances of getting a Mayweather fight would go up a lot. Brook has been trying like hell to get a fight with Khan for years and Khan consistently wants no part of Brook. It looks very much like he thinks he would lose a fight to Brook. Otherwise why doesn't he fight Brook and the sooner the better? He would surely make a huge amount of money fighting Brook and if he beats Brook it is his first big win in a few years and puts him at a much higher level than he is at now.

Everyone thinks a fight with Mayweather brings the challenger a huge payday but it doesn't unless the fighter is Cotto or Canelo. Maidana was only paid 1.5 million for the first Mayweather fight and Guerrero and Ortiz didn't get paid all that much either. Mayweather is the one who gets most of the money. Pacquiao's opponents get paid better than Mayweather's opponents. I think Khan would probably get about 4 million to fight Floyd and Khan would probably get 5 or 6 million to fight Brook. That is just a guess but Floyd's opponents don't make as much money as many people think they do.

There is 2 ways fighters get paid , over the table and under the table , dont believe everything you read , Maidana got more that 1.5 a lot more .

[Mr. Punch-Out!!]

He wants the safest route possible to Mayweather instead of earning it the HARD WAY out of fear that he gets knocked out AGAIN

He would rather cash himself out against Mayweather and a good payday instead of getting destroyed by someone like Thurman for less

Funny thing is, a win over Thurman probably would be enough to land him a shot against Mayweather.

Would be a total shame if Khan doesn't take that risk.
