Comments Thread For: Khan Eyes Fall Return, Explains Why it Won't Be Brook

[MrRolltide91]

Khan's excuse is that he wants the fight to grow more but i don't see how it could be that much bigger.

The reason i say this is because Khan says Brook needs to fight a bigger name but you have to understand that 90% of the revenue from this fight in the UK would come from casuals or non-followers of the sport. Once Sky and the British press got their hype machine going, they would make it have huge crossover appeal like Froch v Groves.

Now given the fact is pretty much most of the revenue comes from people who don't know the sport, for Brook to beat Thurman or Bradley would mean as much to them as Brook beating JoJo Dan. These people don't know their Rod Salka's from their Keith Thurman's. Most of them probably know Floyd, Manny, Khan and Brook in the UK, as far a WW's go. And even then they probably couldn't tell you what weight class they fight in.

And the rest of the people who do actually follow boxing know it's a legit fight. So what's the problem?

This fight could be huge right now. All it needs is the Sky hype along with the British press. Sky could probably sell sand to the Arab's.

This is a straight up duck. Khan does not want to fight him because he's scared he loses to another Brit. It would be a much more damaging loss than losing to anybody else.

agreed.....

Brook needs to hunt his man down and trash talk him every chance he gets.

The only thing i do not get is that, Brook, who is the champ calling out a condender, Khan. Has this happened before in the history of boxing?

I mean, come on. Brook needs to move on with better fights and not spoil his prime in fighting the likes of Jo jo and Gavin and waiting for Khan who is a condender, at the best, at 147

[freddiemaize]

I just can't believe this is Khan..It's going on 4 yrs,is he gonna fight anyone worth mentioning??Floyd is not fighting you,get your career back under control..Brook would be the best fight for him imo,I just don't get it..

Exactly the same advise for Brook. Khan is ducking you. Get over it, and fight someone worth mentioning, is what my point is.

You don't care what his reasons are, yet you do. What about yours, why don't you want Thurman, instead of Khan for Brook.

Thurman fight is fine also.

UK fans just want to see an all UK clash and determine who the best welterweight in our country is.

why do people say khan is ducking brook? the same people who make fun of khan for begging for the floyd fight

brook is a nobody resume wise and fighting jojodan and frankie gavin while begging khan to notice him

kind of ironic

Whenever a topic of Brook-Khan pops up, it's yet another interview from Khan explaining why he will continue to duck Brook. He's talking more about Brook than vice versa nowadays, and it's because he's being frequently asked about him by people who want to see the two fight and want to know why Khan is ducking.

The ducking continues, as expected.

He'll find another guy that can't punch, be it someone at 147 or someone he drags up from 140.

And who will Kell fight? Bundu?

[IMDAZED]

I'm hoping Khan and Thurman step up the opposition toward the end of the year and then square off next spring.

[Rip Chudd]

Love him or hate him, Khan makes good points here.

No, he doesn't. He actually contradicts himself cause he said on video right after the Porter win that Brook did enough to earn a fight with him. So...

[brettWall]

Thurman fight is fine also.

UK fans just want to see an all UK clash and determine who the best welterweight in our country is.

Yeah, but how many times does Khan have to say no to make you understand that Thurman is the better choice right now?

Anyways, King Khan have spoken. Brook has to fight Thurman first before he gets his money fight. Don't even understand why Thurman is not a money fight and the guy got the tools to beat One Time. And once he beat Thurman, I'll expect Khan to beg for the fight. Brook might not even need him and he gets Pacqiao.
