Comments Thread For: Kell Brook-Brandon Rios on Sept. 12th, Says Hearn

[AgainstTheRopes]

That's why I'm saying Thurman should build his name also. It would be PPV in the UK obviously, but if Thurman was to fight a Broner and Porter or a khan and win on CBS/NBC Showtime could easily buy that fight and stick it on PPV in 12-18 months.

But right now the money isn't there to make the fight happen and we know Thurman is not coming to the UK.

Thurman-Brook wont be PPV in the States unless either beats Mayweather. I dont see much an argument to be made for Thurman wanting to wait. A fight against Brook is just what he needs fight now to get him legitimacy and attention. Makes more sense for Brook/Hearn to hold off

Khan should fight Thurman imo.

Why would Khan fight Thurman for $1 Million when he can fight Floyd for $20 Million?

Let Brook fight Thurman first. Brook is not known in the US. Let him build his name up.

WAR RIOS!!!!! Will they let Rios use the MX gloves though? Sissy coward Kelly.

Thurman is fighting Collazo

Brook-Thurman will happen, both guys want it and have a lot of respect for each other. Brook needs to become a bigger name in the US for a Thurman fight to be lucrative though. That's exactly the POINT of this fight - raise Brook's profile.

Thurman fighting a Khan leftover? Why?

Yea, you don't seem to think the same about Khan-Brook: Let the fight get big. Nobody knows who Brook is in the USA.

You're biased.

Seems like ole Bob Arum is throwing a curve-ball on this .... I just watched a video of him stating that he would rather the fight occur on Sept.26th as an add-on to his upcoming PPV card.

Over at hype:
"Well, his choice. He can fight Kell Brook in England on September 12th or he can wait for September 26th and fight somebody else on our pay-per-view show,"

You think Khan is getting $20m for Mayweather?

You really are delusional.

By the same token, why would Khan fight Algieri for $1.5m when he could have fought Brook for £6-7m?

That's because the Khan-Brook fight is already big! They're two UK fighters, it doesn't matter how big Brook is in the USA for that. It's not going to take place in the USA like Thurman-Brook would.

You're dumb.

You mean you jump on and off the bandwagon when it suits you?

Either that or you are bi-polar. You definitely have some kind of mental illness.

ur probably right tbh

I was on the Kell train but he needs to step up the competition already. He hasn't done **** since Porter and this fight ***** also.

Target practice for Brook. Rios has a hell of a chin, probably late round KO, but should be an easy, dominating win for Kell.

Hope to see him in tougher fights next time.

Rios does have a granite chin so what makes you think he will Ko Rios who is a world class fighter and top 10 welterweight who is known for his chin? Although pacquiao did drop Rios which the ref mistakenly called a slip but I still dont see it but anything can happen. I dont think brook punches harder than pacquiao

Your exactly right. Khan would have probably made just as much fighting brook as he would fighting mayweather and also if he took that last belt mayweather needed off brook Floyd would definitely be fighting him next. Khan is scared of losing to brook for sure
