Why isnt Brook calling out Mayweather?

[Dirk Diggler UK]

There is more money in beating Floyd

You have rematch money

Endorsements

Becoming a international superstar like Carl Froch

Name in the history books

etc...

I'm talking about a straight paycheque. Khan doesn't get any more than $3m, if that, to fight Mayweather and he isn't going to win.

[FrankieBruno]

Life doesn't work like having a sense of entitlement which Khan thinks everything should be giving to him. Like Dirk Brook knows he has a better chance of fighting than Floyd. Its a easier fight to make especially in the UK.

Who are you to tell a guy worth millions of $'s on how life works?

Khan is doing something right given how much money he has made and his many accomplishments

Ofcoruse if you are just going by the purse then Brook vs Khan is the golden ticket

In terms of Floyd, Khan might not win, it might be a close scrap, and he ends up getting a rematch.

[Southpaw93]

Because he realises Khan is a more realistic fight. I mean it's not hard to understand. There's probably more money in the Brook-Khan fight than there is for either of them against Mayweather.

Brook is ranked right after floyd in the wlterweight rankings, hes got a belt and a solid win. There is a legit case for him to fight floyd, and he should go after that. But he rather fight khan, an easier fight and wont enhance his legacy as much as a fight with floyd. Brook would get million+ fighting floyd, and if he wins, he is the nest boxing superstar and will make millions more. Even if he loses but puts up a good fight he will have a bigger name in usa and will make more money after. There is no reason why someone would rather call out khan than floyd.

If he was doing something right than he would be getting the fights he wants with the Mayweather or Manny's. They are what Khan strives to be ATG fighters future 1st ballot HOF making 9 digits for one fight. He fails in comparison to those guys.

Maidana didn't get in two fights against Mayweather what Khan would have got in one against Brook.

Are you dense? He would take either fight in a heartbeat. He just knows that the Khan fight is more realistic.

He might still get the fights, time will tell, so yes he is doing something right

but i am sure you know more seeing as you are Al Haymon and work closely with Khan

It all depends on what Floyd will offer, and also there is other things to be gained like endorsements and worldwide exposure, especially since it's Floyds 49th fight

and if he can get in position for a rematch for Floyds 50th, that would be huge for anyone

brook appears to be a pretty cool guy. he's actually "our kell," for those two don't know.

he's been candid about fighting thurman. he wants it to be a fight that is there down the road. if they handed him a stack of money and told him it was thurman or bust, he'd take thurman. he may even win.


with mayweather, i think it's understood that he wants the fight. you shouldn't be boxing if you're in the WW division and don't want mayweather. brook's talking has been aimed where it should be, at amir khan. that's his shot at a mayweather fight. if he knocked amir out in front of a big crowd it would put him in front of all welterweights not named floyd or manny.


styles make fights. brook is a strong little bull, but floyd's not going to get into a fight where that matters. he's going to find spots to land clean punches on brook, and change his mind, the way he does with everybody else.

floyd UD 12. brook is probably the best WW not named floyd. obviously manny would trash him five years ago, but this is not 2010.

[gmc_rfc_06]

He's made his interest in the fight clear.

Brook is ready if they ask him to go in September, he has the other belt in the division, an undefeated record and a ton of confidence heading in.

You don't have to beg and cry for a fight to be interested in it.
