Why isnt Khan aggesivly seeking out Brook?

[FrankieBruno]

he gets more money to fight brook than mayweather

it is because he has more to gain and less to lose vs mayweather should he win or lose

The Brook fight will always be there

its like a cash out fight, for both.

Brook and Khan will eventually fight, by 2016

[Box-Office]

I have to say that no matter how much I or any Khan tries to defend it, at this point it is indefensible, because Brook is a mega fight in U.K. who is now a title holder and is a big name ($) as well, so really no excuse why Khan isn't seeking him out, but I guess as people have pointed out Brook fight will always be there even after losing to Floyd/Pac.

[Box-Office]

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

To give you an idea of how big Khan-Brook is in U.K they are talking about Wembley for May and it would most definitely sell way more than 339 tickets unlike Bradley-Alexander. Khan will most certainly be making more than Maidana's $1.5 against Floyd the first time around, so either ways Khan gets paid millions.

Khan used to be a better, braver fighter who fought rated fighters every time out. He won fights over Judah, Paulie and Maidana. He was in a better position to ask for a Mayweather fight then than now. Someone who chooses Khan's fights seems to have lost their nerve. While they call out Floyd and Pacquiao he fights guys like Diaz and Molina and maybe Lopez next instead of guys like Thurman.

[Box-Office]

Cause Floyd is a money fight. If he doesn't get Floyd in May I think he'll fight brook

That is NOT the reason he wants Floyd. Maidana made $3 in his last bout and Khan will be making way way more than that against Brook even as the challenger because the revenue it will bring in. Floyd and Pacquiao is more prestige than a pay check.

[boliodogs]

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 .

I am sure you are right but all I have to go by is what I read on boxing scene and I have no way of knowing about the under the table stuff. It makes sense that Maidana would end up with a lot more than 1.5 million on such a super fight.

Why indeed?

Part of that is that he's not on the up and coming anymore. He knows his place, as far as networks are concerned.

He's trying to be opportunistic. If there's anyone who can **** up his chances leading to a payday, it's him. Probably avoiding the risk of fucking it up
