Porter was the one being showcased in the fight against Brook, Brook was there to put an undefeated name on Porter's resume. To Brook's credit he monkey wrenched the plan but to imply that Brook is the name, im going to have to LOL at that sir.

    If Khan got an offer to fight Bradley and an offer for Brook who does Khan fight? As a matter of fact who would any other fighter choose? I'll give you a hint, not Brook.
    My point was about you saying Thurman draws a crowd in America - he doesn't really. He fights on undercards or in co-main events. Brook can sell out to huge crowds in Sheffield.

    Khan would (or should) fight Brook because it's a bigger and more lucrative fight.

      This is absurd. They'll just end up hating Thurman even more when he blasts their favorite fighter.
      Dude shut your lil ***** ass up. Most comments are saying thurman dropped his stock with that performance. Yes he won every round but **** was boring. As for him fighting maidana. I like Thurman but maidana exposes him

        Errol Spence looks pretty good to me. I definitely think he's the future of the division. I'm confident he would give anyone a fight and he was a great amateur too. Really solid.

        Not sure on his chin, but he seems like a tough guy. as he steps up we'll know more.

        I think part of the problem with Thurman is that he was talking about "KOs for life" and all that stuff, and then people expect him to go after the KO and it didn't really seem like he did.

        If I was a fan who'd paid to see Thurman knock someone out I probably wouldn't be happy either. but from a neutral's point of view, he looked pretty good to me and I don't think more or less of him than I did before. He's still a top fighter.

Please stop talking about Brook like he is some cash cow, he deserves big fights as much as Thurman does. He hasnt beaten the best in the division, he is not the best in the division, he hasn't earned the right to pick and choose who he fights based on money, Brook got a chance because he is perceived as a non threat, he doesnt bring money or fan base yet he got a shot, and im sure he will get another for the same reasons.
          You do know he's a world champion right?

          He doesn't have a fanbase yet sells 10k arenas? How many tickets does Thurman sell?

          Kell Brook is going to be on PPV this year, whether it's against Khan or not. When is thurman going to be on PPV?

          Please stop talking out of your arse.

            Exactly, Brook is not drawing anyone in America where he needs to go to fight everybody worth naming except for Khan and Thurman. No one else is going to Sheffield. Brook is not the draw in that fight, Khan is. And Khan would fight a known American draw before he fights Brook because Khan wants to be a PPV star and Khan wants American consumers which Brook doesnt get him.

                  LOL. Really who is he fighting on PPV. Because Khan fight wouldnt even be on PPV in America which is what drives PPV numbers in boxing. Wow im amazed how a man with one notable win is now the next great PPV draw. 10k where? in Sheffield? Not in America, where he needs to go to fight the biggest names, where his name is not the draw.

                    Maidana is gonna eat more shots than Bundu and that's not good.

                      Bradley brings a bigger American fan base and a bigger purse with possible PPV in America. Khan wants to be a major boxing star and he understands he needs the American consumer to do that, so he will fight the fighter that gets him closer to that goal. Khan will get more money fighting Brook most likely because of the live gate, but as I said Khan wants the American notoriety and Bradley gets home that.
