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

[Ray*]

There is a reason why Brook and Eddie Hearn are chasing this fight like their lives depend on it.

You see people defending Khan... these are the people who would spend money to watch Khan fight a cab driver literally...

As long as we have we idiot fans who will worship fighters no matter the opponent... Khan can get away with saying things like this... and then fighting non-punchers like Alexander in boring fights...

Kell brook went in with shawn porter and beat him. Khan would never have fought khan is avoiding anyone with punching power. Porter was on fire and was hot. No one could deny brook of that victory before that I was a kell brook hater but now I appreciate him.

I'm talking about realistic fights.

And even then, people like Maidana are getting $1.5 for Mayweather, Brook isn't going to get any better. He'd get more facing Khan....why do you think Eddie Hearn is so desperate to make the fight?

Maidana was done before he beat Broner, Brook is unbeaten from across the pond and unlike Khan is not a damaged goods hard sell! Mayweather has always wanted to fight at Wembley and unlike thrice beaten Khan would not require the talking up bollocks..Khan is not needed for a wembley sell out, I was there to hear just how popular he in fact is at Wembley when he was booed like not even Tim Witherspoon! at the Froch/Groves fight.
What if Manny decides to stay at the weight and fight and Floyd doesn't , massive money in Macau for both Manny and Brook. There's a lot can change sure but to say Khan is Brooks biggest fight out there is unrealistic and very naive unless you've discussed this with Manny and Floyd.

Whats delusional about it??? Khan vs Collazo was probably the most boring Khan fight EVER and still was miles better than Brook vs Porter.. I literally HAD TO FORCE myself to complete that farce of a fight..


and no wayy Porter was some P4P beast, guy has a Draw against Diaz ffs.

Porter vs devon with a title, khan vs devon with no title..p4p which was a more meaningful fight? Even coming a loss to brook, porter would still be a level ahead of either. Devon is the best fighter khan will face since Danny Garcia and bizarrely khan is highly regarded for fighting cans since he got knocked off his perch.

Khan being popular doesnt translate to being a great fighter. And khan being "fast doe" doesnt translate to being p4p #2

Has Brook actually ever said anything about money?

As far as I know, it's Eddie Hearn who mentioned the $5million.
Eddie Hearn has the key to PPV, not Amir Khan, so why is he being such a diva about it?

Just take the fight.

Brook would more than likely also take home a larger part of the UK PPV money, which would leave him with more than that.

He got around $700k for the Porter fight altogether, so I don't see why Mayweather wouldn't be a lot more.

Brook is a f*king bum who doesn't deserve ****, he is just soo desperate for a payday fight with khan, cause he knows he ain't getting such sort of purse in anyother fight.


who wants to pay for this boring fighter who needs to hug and clinch the **** out of his opponents to win fights?? all he's been doing in his career is riding off khans name and calling him out.

Oh the irony...

I'm ordering every Pacquiao fight regardless... it doesn't matter to me...

Floyd vs. Triple G or Floyd v. Pacquiao... or else I continue to stream Floyd fights..

The negotiations need to be out in the open... whenever there is a gag order on discussions it means the fight isn't happening because someone is trying to do some underhanded **** that the boxing community would see right through..

I want to know what's holding up Floyd v. Pac...

The first time it was blood testing although I still don't know Floyd would accept...

Now that blood-testing isn't an issue..and money seems not to be an issue... or money shouldn't be an issue... I will not accept a money-split argument as a valid excuse this time from Pac or May..Showtimes reported offer... was sufficient, Arum should accept...

The less I hear about details of the negotiation the more I know the fight isn't happening...

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.
