Because they know Brook would stop Porter in the rematch. It was Brook's 2nd fight away from the UK and he was the challenger. I think Brook and his team overestimated the skill of Porter and settled for a decision.
If pillow fisted Broner could drop Porter then what do you think Brook would do.
Brook came to America and beat Porter. Brook has never lost a fight and never been knocked down. He is not some unknown. That's just an excuse Khan and now Porter use to avoid fighting him. Everybody knows who Brook is. He a world champion and he is ranked higher by boxrec and ring magazine and by most other ranking organizations than Khan, Porter, Thurman or Garcia.

With a less lenient ref, Porter could outwork Kell in a rematch. Lets not rewrite history, Kell won a close, competitive fight. Why would you 'settle' for a decision if you can go on and stop your opponent? Especially in a close fight...
No chance Brook stops him in a rematch, Porter has a solid chin and the Broner KD was flash.

It wasn't close or competitive. You can count the number of clean punches that Porter landed on one hand.

It was definitely close and competitive, Kell did the cleaner work, but Porter outworked him in patches. I had it 7-5 Kell.
It was a scrappy fight and I don't think Brook was anywhere near as dominant as it's being made out.
Outworked him by mauling, missing and smothering everything? I defy anyone to post more than 5 clean punches Porter landed in the fight. Had it 9-3 Brook, I was shocked how bad Porter was.
