Khan has the better resume, pulls more viewers and makes more money per fight than Brook does.
Brooks resume is padded with bums, granted he beat Porter but apart from that hes fought nobody.
Khan is only interested in making the most money he can like everyone of us here and then retire, so fighting brook does nothing for him until brook is more well known

If he's all about the money, why did he take significantly less to fight Algieri instead of Brook, including the chance to win a title?

OK and how is McCloskey different from Jo Jo Dan or Frankie Gavin exactly? He came off a win against Barry Morrison (who?) and some guys I've never even heard off before facing Khan.
Did Brook also not have a "homecoming" fight against Jo Jo Dan who'd had wins over undefeated Bizier and a close fight with Aydin? How is he any different from McCloskey? Or Gavin who went the distance in a razor close fight with undefeated Bundu or beat an undefeated Bradley Skeete?
You can't see your double standards?
I was comparing McCloskey with Frankie Gavin. Dan wasn't the issue, I just said he was coming off of such an easy fight, mandatory or not, so surely he'd "up it". Yet, not only he fight Gavin, but now will most likely be fighting Rios. With Khan he was coming off and going on to fight serious names/fights. Since, when was Gavin homecoming?
Rrrright! So you had heard of "Sugar" Bundu from before? It was still a loss.
You can talk all you want, but McCloskey was European champ by beating the guy that was in front of him and Gavin could not, point blank.
They ranked Brook as a mandatory challenger, because he fought his way through their ranks fighting guys they had highly ranked and fought eliminators and final eliminators.
WBC is an organization who Khan was never ranked by or had any of their belts and became mandatory after fighting Luis Collazo who was also not ranked in their organization?
Clearly the same doe
At first I thought you weren't a fan of all orgs, but now IBF seems to be in your good graces, I wonder why?
Just so you know from Jan-April 2015, Rios wasn't even ranked top 15 by IBF and in May he is all of a sudden 13.

I meant his "popularity" would be on par with Zavcek. Just some belt holder who had one hurrah. Why did it go over you?
Now tell me what exactly does BeReal got to do with me?
You clearly said yesterday that outside of Porter, Brook doesn't even have McCloskey on his resume. But he does! He's got quite a few fighters who are better than McCloskey. You can say what you want about being european champion, but McCloskey didn't meet a tough guy who was a top amateur and unbeaten as a pro. Gavin did and still it was a debatable decision. I felt Bundu won by a round FYI. But that's not an indication of Gavin being below someone like McCloskey's level. Clearly.
Btw, go back and check my post on Thurman vs Bundu. I was one of the few who expected bundu to last the distance.
Obviously I was referring to Brook's homecoming bout over a guy you have continued to call "no no dan". He had fought on a higher level than McCloskey had.
Why do you keep bringing up orgs? I hate to ask this, but are you thick? Honestly, what is it you don't get? You said Collazo was a top 10 WW (because of his ranking with WBO) and I laughed. It doesn't have anything to do with this AT ALL. So why do you keep bringing it up as if I'm contradicting myself when it has no similarities at all. When I use org rankings to say a fighter was top, then you can tell me i'm contradicting myself. According to you Saldivia was the #2 welterweight in the world
Rios wasn't ranked - and? So what? Could I care less? It's not like they made him mandatory without fighting an eliminator like Khan?
Yeah, just like Zaveck. Despite selling 10k tickets for a fight when Khan was still a WW.
No same situations here. Nothing different, I call a spade a spade, both Joe and Hatton ducked there domestic main rival period!!! You can twist it which ever way you want and it would be the same outcome, Joe was fighting ashirass... Hatton was fighting cab drivers from lightweights, none of them too wanted to risk looking to their main domestic rivals because they wanted the big American payday.... Guess what? Same thing here with Amir Khan.
Amir Khan vs Kell Brook is a world title fight for a ****load of money.
Absolutely nothing like the domestic matchups you're talking about. They are more comparable to Khan not fighting guys like John Murray when he was coming up.
At first you thought it'd be a big deal to hear me say Khan was ducking Brook. From day one I had no issues saying it because it is clear as day, but you realized you have f.ck all to go with, so you "quietly" move goal posts "you're not doing it enough" as if I'm here to appease anyone to begin with.
*waiting for your new party lines: OMG you sound emotional, someone ban him, take time off.*
What else can you even say? It's a blatant fact but the nail is hit on the head. You'll quietly mutter under your breath that Khan is ducking Brook.
Then you'll post 17 times in a row going on massive tirades about Brook's resume and past fights to try to soften the blow and deflect.

Joe Calzaghe v Froch and Hatton v Witter were for the same thing... They both ducked their rivals, Khan still has time to fight his one. Let's hope he doesn't adopt Joe and Ricky's cowardly attitude and never fight his main domestic rival before he hangs them up.

Those two fights were the same principle.
It's completely different in this case. 1) Brook is ranked higher than Khan 2) He's the champion 3) Brook is a PPV fighter, Khan is not 4) they will make more money fighting each other than anybody else
