Khan or Brook likely to be Mayweather's next opponent

[Scipio2009]

It's weird because Hearn/Brook gave no indication that a Floyd fight was even possible. Only names they mentioned were Khan and Rios.

1) Eddie Hearn seems to be doing a ton of current (and future) business with Haymon.
2) Eddie Hearn comes to the table with the exclusive deal with Sky Sports and the ability to have the fight on Sky Box Office/market the fight also on general UK TV (the best that Khan can hope for is Box Nation, the station that has basically broadcast every one of his fights for the last five years, ponies up a ton of money)

Hearn seems to do a pretty good job of just doing good business; discuss whatever possible deals between the principals, keeping the press out of things (the Khan situation has spilled into the press because, as the talks have gone on, Hearn seems to think that Khan simply doesn't want the fight, at any cost, regardless of what he says publicly). A similar situation also emerging in the Frampton-Quigg talks.

Just because he's not telling the public about it, doesn't mean that talks aren't happening.

well since most would agree that KHAN would beat Brook, I wanna see Khan fight Mayweather. Speed is the only thing i can see that will give mayweather problems. He's just too good for everyone else.

Only chance is Khan's speed and being 10 years younger

Please let him choose Brook over Khan,it would be hilarious

68% of this site picked Brook to beat Khan.

It'll be Khan,
Biggest payday

Khan is more proven in America too

Oh and for those who really think brook is leagues above Khan now, look at khans opposition compared to brook. Yeh his fights ain't been pretty and he's not undefeated but that mofo fights anyone

For me Brook is the easier fight so no i doubt Mayweather would take that fight, unless that fight happens in Wembley then i dont really see the attraction in it yet, Khan for all his faults has work his way up for this fight, he has a better name and resume than Brook, his body of work is a lot better and he brings more money to the table for everyone involve than brook would at present. But Mayweather has surprised us before when he chose to fight Maidana instead of Khan, so we can never be too sure who he would end up fighting.

.... he doesn't bring more money to the table though, for the simple fact that Brook would come to the table with the backing of Sky Sports behind him (with Froch-Groves II basically doing over $25m in revenue on Sky Box Office, you can expect a similar type of number for Mayweather taking on an undefeated, prime British world welterweight champion; Khan will likely have Box Nation in his corner).

Beyond that Khan's resume isn't all that much better, especially since he got KTFO by Prescott, stopped by Danny Garcia, and basically looked like utter **** in his first three fights above 140.

The bookies go with Khan. Brook will get schooled by Mayweather. Khan might have a chance to make this fight a specticle, which is all I want after watching that shyte on 2nd May.

The bookies know what they're talking about. The casual fans on this site don't.

The people choosing Brook must either be casual fans or just trolling.

I would rather it be Khan so he can get humiliated.
