Who is worth going to the UK For? Kell Brook? Sorry but the money at Welterweight in the US not the UK! Kell Brook has to come to the US and jump in the middle of it, not just come and get one win over Porter then go back to the UK and do what you can to hold on to that Title

He is the IBF Champion yet out of all of the Welterweight Top Contenders his His biggest Payday if I'm not mistaken was 200-300k vs Porter? Porter lost that fight and vs Broner he made over 1 Million. So Brook has to come to the US for the big fights and bigger pay in that Division and Eddie Hearn admitted that as well

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.

I think this might be due to the fact that he can't land a fight with a top ten opponent. He's probably getting discouraged that nobody is willing to fight him. Really that Porter vs Thurman fight should've happened last month, Porter got the option to fight Adrien Broner and took that instead.

If Porter's team really wants the fight I fully expect a Porter vs Thurman fight next.

[Grange_27]

Keef pack your passport, because with kell brook all roads at welterweight in the future will lead to the UK.

Fixed for you

Brook's purse versus Porter was 15% as the mandatory challenger. He'll be earning far greater shares as the champion fighting in front of packed out crowds in the UK.

So far there has been no offer to come to fight in America for Brook. He's clearly proven that he has no issue with travelling. Al Haymon fighters aren't allowed to travel for some reason even though Brook is the champion, brings PPV and sells more tickets.

[CANELOLUJAH]

That's the situation with Thurman.

He can safely call out anybody he wants with the knowledge that Haymon will decide what happens. You can say I want to go to the UK and fans eat it up, but he knows Haymon won't send him to the UK for a fight when he can make similar money to fight lesser opposition at home.

exactly been this coward MO since the jump.

Excluding what he got from Sky Sports, so probably double if not more.

I Hope So! Still likely far less than what the other Welterweights are already making I'm sure
