    Kell Brook is not only the more meaningful fight, but the more financial one as well so wither Khan fights for Glory or for money, Kell Brook is the one unless ofcourse Khan doesn't believe he can beat Brook so the Algeri fight would make more sense for Khan in that case.
    Like I said Khan doesn't care about finance, he is ****** rich. Khan doesn't need Kell at all, but Kell needs Khan. Without Khan Kell makes 100-200 grand per fight, with Khan he can make a couple of million. Khan knows this and doesn't want to give it to him because he rightly believes Kell hasn't fought enough top level competition so he wants kell to go out and fight top 10 fighters before they fight. Instead of doing that Kell is lining up bums for the remainder of the year until he can call khan out again for a payday.

Just because Khan doesn't want to give Kell that payday to set him for life doesn't give him the green card to fight scrubs until he gets it does it? Frankie Gavin then Bum bum Rios are terrible fights, why is he not


    so because khan is worth 30 million, he should fight guys who are coming off losses instead of fighting a champion from his country in the biggest event possible for him?

    When you duck a fighter, you lose all room too speak on that fighters opponents.

    Khan fighting Algieri means the same thing as brook fighting gavin.


    Nothing

    Why doesn't khan fight thurman? They have the same manager. Khan-thurman is even easier too make than brook-thurman.
    It's not the biggest event possible for Khan, that would be Khan-May or Khan-Pac or Khan-Cotto. They're both as bad as each other, Khan won't fight Kell to give him that payday so he can be financially secured for life. Kell won't fight anybody with a pulse until he gets the payday from Khan. But Algerie is a BIGGER and better fighter than Gavin will ever be, a former world champion, who beat provodnikov and Taylor. Gavin lost to Bundu ffs, there is absolutely no comparison, Gavin is a shocking fight.

    Because Thurman has been calling out Brook for a while now and they ignore him like he doesn't exist. He is willing to come to the UK but Brook and Hearn keep calling out Khan even though they know he won't fight them until next year but then go on to fight the likes of Frankie Gavin and Bum Bum Rios. Do you not see the hypocrisy here?

      You're not fooling anyone by trying to take some of Khan's shame and put it on Brook. We all see what's going on. Brook wanted to make the best fight he could have made. Khan didn't. All you're trying to do is distract from that.

        "Gavin is a stay busy fight". Brook has been in those since his pro debut.

            And you bring up thurman and porter. Both of those fighters have the same manager as khan. But you don't mention those fights for khan.

              Because unlike Khan Brook can fight during the summer so those fights can be made easily. Khans in a rush to fight before Ramadan and he is limited with a few options.

                My intention wasnt that of fooling anyone, yes Brook showed his desperation in trying to get Khan to fight him which I've stated we will likely see next year but why cant Brook use the same notion and try to make a fight with other 147 pounders? It seem s like Brook is cashing out on a big payday before he starts taking risks

                  Atleast Khan is somewhat honest in that he's essentially said he wants to cherry pick his next fight in the hope he can get Floyd next IF Floyd beats Pac (Possibly encouraged by Al Haymon)

                  Still I think that's a waste of time for Khan and a shame for the fans.

                  The bottomline is: Nobody should be supporting Brook or Khan with their next opponents...

                  Vote Chief Keith Thurman for President.

                    The best guy Khan fought at welterweight was widely beaten by the best guy Brook beat at welterweight. Khan is being given a shot at a major world title while the two cash cows are actually lined up to fight each other. I do not understand this Algieri fight at all from that perspective. Algieri is no bum but Khan's got this big domestic fight with a major title attached to it and a title from the weight class of the greatest cash cow he's called out. I do not understand that. Unless he really is convinced that he gets the Mayweather/Pac winner next and Brook is clearly a threat. But even then, why bank on it when you've got that money right there for yourself?

                      Bradley, Thurman or Porter on 4 weeks notice? Really?

                      Brook is not supposed to be fighting against until July, he's taking a fight in May to stay busy and help Hearn's May 30 card.
