    5 million or 7 million it doesn't matter, why has Brook not got a right to call Khan to the ring?
    Not hiding behind figures, just separating fact from fiction.

      Whereas what do they both think of Khan?

      Coincidence?
      I see them both being scared to lose their 0 against each other hence the mutual respect where as they both 100% believe they will KO Khan in a high reward/low risk fight so they keep bashing him like no tomorrow even though he has a deeper resume than both albeit at lower weight classes and has accomplished more in his career thus far.

        Regardless of whether it's 5 million, 7 million or some other hotly disputed figure it all benefits Khan because he'll make a career high purse. You can't hide behind that phony crap that Khan doesn't want to give Brook a payday. If Khan beats Brook he picks up a world title and storms into top 5 rankings at welterweight, same goes if he fights and beats Thurman.

        Are you both saying it's low reward/high risk for Khan to entertain a fight with Thurman or Brook based on this?

        What's he going to do if he doesn't face Pacquiao or Mayweather, what fight will be worth it for him then?

          I don't think either are scared of losing their 0 to each other. Thurman's whole mantra is "I got an 0 and I ain't afraid to let it go". Brook-Thurman hasn't reached it's apex but will be a huge fight next year. I think once the dust has settled, that will be THE fight to make at 147.

            You are mostly right, I don't disagree with that, probably khan not being too hot on brook in general is a factor, the heArne camp havnt been too delicate in their approach, ultimately the fight is the end goal!

            However this was all because dirk decided to add a 40% embellishment, and he doesn't want to admit it, it's these creeping lies you see...

              It's not my fault you are mathematically and logically spasticated.

              What is this "heArne" business about anyway?

                I wondered about that also. Seems bizarre since it's not immediately obvious.

                  Logic would require you to admit it's speculation, to say it's a guess and unsubstantiated.


                  You can guess 10 million I don't care.... Atleast say that's the guess! Not the offer.

                    If Khan doesn't like Brook and Hearn personally, then why doesn't he set the record straight in the ring, It's already established he stands to gain financially and professionally!

                    The fight purse will no doubt go up from the original offer made before Brook won the IBF belt.

                    40%, 25%, 10% what does it matter, it needn't get personal with you lot and Dirk
