Brook will sell out the arena in Sheffield again and do numbers on PPV. It won't be Froch numbers, obviously, but it will be enough to make business sense and continue building his name.

    Brook-Gavin wasn't the real main fight on that card, that was a Linares-Mitchell main event in Mitchell's city. Brook was thrown on that card purely so Hearn could make it a PPV instead of free.

    P.s. Brook is far from a boring fighter. Complete nonsense.
    yea its exciting the way he destroys overmatched guys but even wlad was exciting when he fought leapai and ward didn't look that bad when fighting paul smith. when real opponents get in the ring with them they start the clinching nonstop and brook did the same against porter. he has one more chance to prove he's not like that but first he's got to fight someone who's actually good which will be when?

      Chavez is a good fighter. I expect that to be a pretty ugly/dirty fight in stages though, given most Chavez fights are.

      Virtually every single Porter fight looks the same. He charges in head first, holds, hits around the back of the head....his fights always consist of clinching. The only difference in the Brook fight was Brook was stronger than him and nullified his mauling inside while doing all the clean work outside.

        Froch had competition and was in some EPIC fights...also he knows how to talk

        Jousha is a HW, Olympic gold medlists, 99% of the work is already done..

        Brook talks like Leigh Francis without the personality or the wit...He hasnt been in any epic fights...Its a hard hard sale...Brook needs Khan...end of


        His fight against Porter was boring...

        You can stop giving Hern credit...by the time Al Haymon is finished with him, Eddie boy will back promoting darts to council estate chavs

                Froch had serious competition and epic fights long before Hearn, despite that he was still a virtual unknown outside of big boxing fans. He only became a star and earned huge money when he signed with Hearn. The platform, promoting and marketing of Sky Sports is massive.

                Brook already fights in front of sold out arenas and is going on PPV. It would be nice to see the Khan fight for Brook, but there are plenty of big fights at WW even without it.

                  Anyone that buys this is helping to ruin boxing it's a disgrace **** Hearn and Brook. Every non-showcase fight is going to be ppv now.
                  No, for the simple fact that, like Mayweather has basically done since he's controlled his own fate, the actual fight card is likely to have 3-5 other quality fights on the bill.

                  If we're being honest, Golovkin-Lemieux is likely to be a worse PPV; it's giving you a fight where the man event is featuring a 15:1 wipeout, with no other fight on the bill that's even competitive.

                    No. Mosley vs. Mayorga was pfv if I remember correctly. Chavez held Bradley to disputed draw. He is not that bad. Chavez is much better and ranked much higher than Berto.

                      It's not even the worst one this year. Mayorga vs Mosley 2 was terrible
