    What's the definition of "well known, world class"?

      Lol what?

      I just said I thought it was a fair deal. Just saying the Khan request of being billed as the "a-side" is completely cringey.

      The rest was sarcastic, which I think was pretty obvious.

      Yeah, he's had a lot of success. Very easy when you come from an olympic background.

        Brook has to go out there and fight two top guys while Khan just sits back and does nothing?
        Khan will fight another couple of featherfisted light welterweights and build them up as destroyers.

          Khan is a bigger name than Brook and has done more in his career so far. But Brook's win over Porter tops anything Khan has done at WW, and Brook would be the defending champion.

          So imo, it should be a 50/50 split, but if Brook is willing to give Khan the lion's share that's up to him. Brook should enter the ring second though. He would be a world champion defending his title, FFS.

            No one should have a problem with this considering Hearn is ok with it and I'm guessing Brook is too.

            Now, I'm wondering what constitutes as world class? Is there and agreement between Hearn and Khan as to who these guys will be? What if Hearn brings out someone like Rios, who I don't believe is a world class welter and Khan decides that he isn't too. I think the two sides to get together and discuss opponents, or at the very least give each other a heads up so there aren't any excuses.

            Personally I'd like Khan v Bradley and Brook v Danny Garcia before summer 2016 and the winners and losers of the two match ups can fight each other.

              Who is Khan going to fight then?

              All the recognisable names left can punch.

                Brook better fulfil his obligation of fighting two opponents at world level, that's only fair. If this fight falls apart its brooks fault now.

                And for those saying why does Khan get a free pass, Khan has fought at elite world level for years, brook had only done it for a single fight!

                I'd like to say brook take on collazo and algeri to fulfil his obligation.

                Khan should take on Jo Jo dan in the meantime, that would be acceptable.

                  who will be the two "world class" fighters? alexander and rios, maybe? i doubt brook will risk a unification before getting khan in the ring. but what if the numbers brook pulls against his two interim opponents suggest that he deserves better terms against khan? it seems absurd to negotiate a fight so far away

Brook should fight said name opponents anyway but do so knowing that Khan probably won't fight him either way.
                    so all Brook needs to do is beat Collazo and Algieri? Should not be too difficult . . . .
