Comments Thread For: Gallagher: Alexander Will Bring Out Amir Khan's Best!

[Dirk Diggler UK]

There's an iFL TV interview with Hearn that says different.

There really isn't.

He's getting Brook out in Sheffield in February if the Khan fight doesn't happen. Why the hell would they do the Khan fight in February? Where? At Sheffield Arena in from of 15k or something? Think about it

This isn't the interview I mentioned – I can't be arsed to look for it – but does Eddie Hearn mention a February fight or not (dailymail article: 2752442) ?

I know in reality it takes time to build a fight of this magnitude, but if Khan said to Brook "I'll take the Feb date or it doesn't happen", Brook would want it and Hearn could/would make something happen. Even if it's not the perfect Wembley scenario it would already be massive, and a bigger earner than Alexander. I'm not sure what the situation is with larger UK venues in Feb.... but then neither are you, right?

He says they're looking at February for Brook's return - not the Khan fight.

If Khan doesn't get the Mayweather fight and says he wants to fight Brook, then Hearn will scrap the February return date and just go straight into the Khan fight in the summer.

Stadiums aren't available until the summer because of the football season. Hearn has already booked Wembley for May or June and it's quite obvious what fight he has in mind for then.

First line, "Kell Brook could face British rival Amir Khan as soon as February".

... Stadiums aren't available until the summer because of the football season...

You lack the vision of a promoter. So do I, so I don't have the answers that Hearn might come up with, but there are other venues in the UK besides football grounds that are used for large scale events: Tickenham, Hyde Park, etc.

That's what the Daily Mail have erroneously printed themselves. It's not a quote from Hearn or Brook or anyone involved.

Twickenham? The Six Nations will be going on then I believe. Hyde Park? LOL....mate, it's gonna happen at Wembley if it happens. That's what Eddie Hearn wants, he would never do the fight in February. They're looking to maximise the revenue for the fight so why would you not do it at Wembley?

[Wicky]

... so why would you not do it at Wembley?

Availability?

Availability?

It's available in May/June. Hearn has already booked two dates there.

Hearn may have booked those dates but Khan won't be fighting then. He's fighting Mayweather in May... haven't you heard?
