Brandon Rios will fight either Jessie Vargas or Provodnikov this fall, no Kell Brook.

    First Brook ducks Khan and fights Gavin, now he's ducking Rios too?

    What's going on with this guy, fight someone with a pulse man!

      Can you read? I said he's been making good money in the US, nothing about WHERE he could make more. And no I can't, I made it to my third year of biomed with no knowledge of maths.

        So what is your argument exactly? He's been making 6 figures in the US. He can make 7 figures in the UK. Does he not like money?

          Lmao, my arguement is not boxer/circumstance specific. It's that the champion should have the OPTION to fight where he wants.

            Brook is the champion. He's the one making a VOLUNTARY defence of the title so his side dictates the terms of the contract.

            If Brandon Rios doesn't want two seven figure paydays then that's his loss. Go fight a Top Rank bum for less and no title

              He should dictate this fight but not the location of the rematch clause especially if he loses that title. Not every thread has to be confrontational dirk.

              Yeah fight a TR bum for less money but a better chance to win=more top level fights->more money

                    The rematch clause is part of the initial contract which Brook dictates.

                    Khan tried to do the same thing with Lamont Peterson when he was champion at 140 and Peterson was the voluntary challenger. Do you think voluntary challengers get to decide where the rematches take place against the Klitschkos?

                    It's just standard procedure.

                    Yeah because we know Rios doesn't truly believe he's going to beat Brook and neither do his team so all these excuses about the money, the gloves and the rematch clause are just smokescreens for the fact that he doesn't want the fight.
