Comments Thread For: Kell Brook-Jo Jo Dan Will Be Televised Live on Showtime

[Brickyardigan]

I guess they are getting ready to set things up for Kell in the U.S. This guy is actually a complete boxer in my opinion. His handlers who train him really paid attention to the American martial art of boxing. He has some skills that I only see Floyd Mayweather display in timing and gauging distance. Unless I am overestimating him because of his fight with Shawn Porter.

"The American martial art"

Is that what Shawn Porter was displaying when he came wading in like a rank amateur?

"SHOWTIME Sports® will present the Sky Sports telecast"

Doesn't sound like SHO's putting much money into it.

Hardcore boxing fans will!

Yeah, after that clinic Brook put on vs Porter, I'm sure there will be a decent viewership.

I doubt Sky's giving it away cheap.

Gotta make your mind up over whether Brook is the next coming based on his elite win over Porter, or if Porter is just a wading amateur, cannon fodder opponent. It can't be both.

Could showtime set him up as a Mayweather opponent for September if he beats Pac? Assuming there wont be a rematch..

I know Kell is not a big name but should Mayweather beat Pacquiao, Mayweather will hold all the major belts in the division apart from the one Brook has. They could set it up as a WW unification fight. I don't think its any harder to sell than the Guerrero fight and he is a legit champion at WW. Plus it will do big numbers in the UK, although i don't know if Showtime would see any of that revenue, possibly they would for the feed, i'm sure they would cut some kind of deal.

Then should Mayweather win and get to 49-0, i believe he would fight one more time next may for the 50-0 against a big name...

I think its possible. he fits the bill for a Floyd opponent if he's not fighting one a Pacquiao, Cotto or Canelo. Brook is an undefeated world champ from the UK, i'm sure Mayweather can use that as a selling point. Team Mayweather certainly know how to grease a squeaky wheel, they had people thinking Guerrero and Ortiz might be good opponents.

That's cool with me, this is good exposure for special K.

Yeah the fact that I've never called Brook "the next coming" (whatever that means) would kill your point on the spot.

I picked Porter to win but I didn't realise how **** he was. He looked a lot better when they weren't testing him.
