Kell Brook Avoiding Keith Thurman? [video]

[F!x]

How much more "built up" does Khan want it to be? And what number excuse is that from him? I've lost track, I thought it was Ramadan or because Brook was on PEDs?

He'd be getting 6 or 7 million quid, a Wembley crowd of 80k and a title belt. What more does he need exactly?

Brook is quite unknown in America but this is a British event, they're not going to do Khan-Brook in the US.

Thurman-Brook meanwhile will probably have to be in America which is why Brook's name needs to be built there before that fight can happen. Hence fighting a name guy like Rios who draws good ratings on HBO which will grow Brook's profile stateside.

The money for the fight isn't there yet to satisfy both parties re: Brook vs Thurman - Amir Khan clearly doesn't have that excuse.

Thurman-Brook has to happen in America while Kell was fine fighting Jo Jo Dan, Carson Jones in the UK? Sure.. Brook has only fought twice outside of the UK in 35 fights.

It's a strange double standard that you've got. On the one hand, it's fine for Brook to say that he wants to wait a while before fighting Thurman, but when Khan says the same about Brook all of a sudden you get hypercritical.

Brook has only one notable win on his resume - Shawn Porter - he needs more credible wins (or even losses against good opposition like Thurman) so that if Khan beats him, no one can say that Brook hadn't really fought anyone.

Who had Chris Algieri beat?

For me all this is irrelevant, am glad boxers are free to talk or say whatever they want to say, Brook has to fight all this fights anyway, sooner rather than later, the good thing is 147 is stacked full of good fighters. There can't be any excuses about not getting better names on your resume, this brook fight with Khan would happen so am not fuss about it now.

Who had Chris Algieri beat?

Provodnikov.. And Algieri had been in the ring with Pacquiao - it's not just about who you've beat, it's about who you've been in with. Even if Brook got in with Thurman and lost the fight, his status as a potential opponent would still rise because he's been in with Thurman.

That's why Thurman fought Guerrero (lost to Mayweather) and is fighting Collazo next (lost to Khan). Brook needs to be getting some more name opponents on his resume.

Nothing against Brook but he really needs to get a few good names on his resume, if Khan fight and beats him now they would be asking the same questions that they are asking about algieri.... Who has Brook beaten?

Brook is avoiding Thurman just like Khan is

The Ghost got 1.2 mil to face Thurman

Brook wud get much more as well as UK PPV

Its already a big fight financially, so i dont buy this excuse of Thurman is still building his name

Its just Thurman looks like a beast and Brook see's no weakness

[FrankieBruno]

and Khan will end up fighting Thurman before Brook does or ever will

I didn't realise that Brook had to get completely embarrassed and knocked down 6 times to get a fight with Khan.

That probably would make Khan a little more confident of winning I suppose because right now, he's ****ting his knickers.

Based on what? Brook has only had one fight in America and Guerrero had been in the ring with Mayweather, earning $3m. He held off on the Thurman fight himself until the money was right.

Lying and trying to fool the people again, Wankie?

Brook and Thurman wud get an equal purse in the US and Brook can also get UK pay per view

He'll net at least 2 mil or more, more than the 200k he fought for over the weekend

I know ur Brooks new cheerleader, but put ur poms poms down for a second

Why would they get an equal purse in the US? Brook has had one fight there on primetime TV. How many UK PPVs is it going to sell at 3am against an unknown (to the UK audience) fighter in Thurman?

Stop speaking **** Wankie. You really go to desperate lengths to rim Khan's ****** and making up such bull**** to defend him and attack Brook.

"Im still a Brook fan doe" :lol1
