Comments Thread For: Amir Khan To Brook, Hearn: My Terms, My Conditions!

[thack]

Maidana is a bigger name in the United States than Brook and he only took home 1.5m against Mayweather. Brook is probably more comparable to Chris Algieri in terms of name value in the US (actually I'd say lesser known) and he took home 1.5m against Pacquaio.

Mayweather is not fighting in the UK. And not against Brook.

I need to talk to people who want to be realistic.

Sounds like your'e going through divorce here Dirk , so I'll be off and wish you all the best but thanks for having a word with Floyd.

Neither of those fighters would have any PPV attraction on their own.

Brook does in the UK and certainly against Mayweather, it would be on Sky PPV.

$1.5 for Maidana was probably not including TV rights from Argentina either, however much that is.

Brook would do better than 1.5 either way.

I don't need to "have a word with Floyd". It's plain and basic common sense. Mayweather is not fighting Kell Brook. No one knows who Brook is in America first of all and Khan is a far bigger name in the UK. I don't see what's hard to understand about that.

Why do you think Brook and his promoter are so desperate to make the Khan fight? Why is Eddie Hearn praying that Khan doesn't get the Mayweather fight?

Use your brain, kid.

Obviously it's the biggest fight for Brook - money wise.

Wouldn't it be the same for Khan do you think? If Khan gets the Mayweather fight would he get $5million?

Anyway, I don't think Khan's motivation for fighting Mayweather is money, but if he beats Alexander and doesn't get Mayweather or Pacquiao, anything other than Brook would be a huge disappointment, and dare I say, duck.

Khan knows his career is done if he loses to Brook.

Mayweather is a bigger fight for Khan - maybe not in terms of money. Hearn has said he wouldn't offer $5m again now that Brook is champion. So I don't know exactly what he's planning to offfer.

Mayweather is the bigger fight obviously in world wide terms and the Brook fight will always be there.

Brook doesn't have the option of Mayweather and his promoter knows that. Otherwise why wouldn't Hearn be targeting that fight?

Yeah of course. I agree. If Khan is offered the Mayweather fight he should take it over Brook, same with Pacquiao.

I'm sure Hearn will try and get a 50/50 split for Brook, but it's not really conceivable, but Brook would make a career high payday anyway, and it would be a wembley sell out. So I'm sure everything would work out.

Probably because he thinks Khan would get him closer to a huge international fight and sees Khan as more beatable than Mayweather right now.

What channel were the Americans watching the night THEIR unbeaten fighter Porter got beat in America Dirk , remember him the guy who knocked the other American Malignaggi all over ring in such overwhelming fashion and lets be honest was devastating in doing it.
No one knows who Brook is in America ..use your brain .kid!

Brook-Porter absolutely bombed in the ratings you buffoon

[DeadLikeMe]

If I went to the mall here determined to ask people if they knew who Brook or Porter were until I found someone that did....I would be bothering strangers at the mall for quite some time.
