    Thurman should go to the UK as the fight is much better there. He couldn't even get the Sun Dome sold out for his fight with Collazo and he stays off I-275.

    Whether Haymon manages the fighters or not, there have been good fights made. This one should count as one of them that could be on Showtime.

      Officiating in the UK is suspect especially regarding Warren and Hearn, if I'm Thurman I'd avoid the place like the Black Death.

      It makes Germany look like a reasonable place to go and America the land of opportunity. In fact I reckon it be harder to get a decision win there than Russia.

        No, I wouldn't say Thurman is completely heartless. I think he is just losing some of that fire from a year or two ago.

          So the badass Thurman is just a docile yes man.

            Haymon should offer Brook the fight in the US then.

            Where fighters randomly quit on their stools after hurting their opponents with body shots.

              Thurman is a borderline joke right now. Him and Khan are just content fighting bums and hoping for a Floyd pay day.

              Brook has already proven he is willing to and wants big fights in the U.S. If Haymon can't get him good fights then he needs to go elsewhere. If he doesn't fight Porter at the end of the year then I won't understand how dude would still have any fans.

                  Brook v Thurman doesnt need to happen in the UK. Yes it would be a bigger draw in the UK but it would do well enough in the USA and with as much Haymon has invested in the PBC and Thurman a fight that he would want in a prime time slot.

                    ... Officiating in the UK is beyond grotesque, sometimes...

                    [I remember the ref who actually carried Cleverly to his corner stool, when Kovalev floored him before the bell... I've never seen anything like that in my life...]

                      Hearn is nowhere near as protective as Frank Warren was/is.
