    You guys really need to stop comparing guys like like Jo Jo Dan, Bizier, and Gavin to guys like Salka. Because if you think they're even remotely on the same level you're ****** and should turn in your boxing fan card.

      Come on roger
      Of course Hatton had the better career. That's not what we're discussing though. If Brook and Khan both retired now, Khan would have had the better career.

      It still doesn't mean that it wouldn't hurt his career if he never fought Brook. Of course it would! He would be called Amir Chin Chicken Khan forever.

        Khan earns a fortune without Brook, not just in purses but in revenue.. Think Beckham & wages for football.
        What does Brook make?
        Why give Brook a shot? Whats he done to earn it? How does he make Khan a bigger star?
        Weve been over this

        The purses he earns are much much less than what he would earn in a Khan vs Brook PPV (as I showed earlier) and the other revenues (sponsorships etc) would still be coming in regardless. He is earning a lot now, he could be earning even more if he fought Brook.

        No brainer. Who earned what is irrelevant. Whatever Brook has or hasnt done he has put himself in the position to be Khan best option by far.

            This isn't at u, boxing in terms of star power, legacy works by who you've fought, beat them & take their name, become a bigger star. Khans resume schits all over Brook. Khan has taken losses & schtick to get those names, from his pov why give Brook a payday & chance to become a star..let Brook earn it
            Khan has ***ed up his own career.

            I don't get why Khan would want Brook to get bigger because that means he gets less of the purse.

            If Khan really wanted Brook to disappear, then he'd beat him. That's what boxers are supposed to do.

            But Khan is a fanny and pissed his knickers over the prospect of losing to Brook and losing his celebrity fights against Mayweather/Pacquiao.

              If they don't fight who do u think will earn more in their career? Who will have a better legacy? & more in the bank when retired?
              Khan doesn't need Brook, 5mil doesn't mean the same to a guy with 50 mil as it does to a guy with £500
              You're delusional mate.

              Khan's purses has dropped significantly over the last couple of years, he hasn't been on PPV since Maidana I believe (was it even PPV?).

              You are talking about Khan's money as if its yours and you justify that to not fight Brook? Dfuq is this fanboy bs I'm hearing.

              Khan makes mediocre money from boxing. He's not really a big star and doesn't pull a lot of people.

              If he fought Brook he could make 10 million dollars. 10 million!

                It's not regardless, khans sponsorship is due to him being who he is : what he's done in the past, if it was regardless Brook wouldn't be begging for a payday, he'd have money coming in.
                Brook doesn't want to build his brand away from Khan, he's avoiding risk & claiming his belt means something..he's fought nobodies
                The purse means *** all to Khan, its only matchroom & Hearn wanting to earn off khans starpower

                  I agree but the same can be said for Brook.. Scared of losing that Khan cheque

                    I agree that Brook needed to do more once Khan avoided him. I actually argued that several times in the past.

                    Doesnt change the fact that Khan avoided him in the first place.

                    Khan is not rich enough that £5million + PPV revenue doesnt mean anything to him. Come on. Why would he even bother boxing anymore if that was the case?

                      Brook isn't being offered a huge money fight on a plate the same way Khan is. I don't think Brook can get a big fight right now which is why he's having to choose people like Chaves.

                      I don't know what the situation with Chaves is. That was a risky fight with almost no reward. If Brook has bottled it then it's a joke but it's not like Khan would take even consider that kind of fight either. He almost got chinned by Algieri ffs.
