Comments Thread For: Amir Khan: If No Pacquiao, I Can Fight Kell Brook

[Box-Office]

Ouch..........

I said Khan has lost momentum, he has a track record of selling big, he certainly get back to selling that much if he were to base himself in England again. Just like Brook has a track record of beating a guy like Porter, he can certainly do that again if he were to step up, surely.


You're so bent on finding points to "pwn, own" ppl you overlook the actual discussion in favor of trying to get some hollow victories.

Khan sold 16k in an arena 5 years ago yet you are complaining about Brook/Porter being too long ago.....hmmmm.

And tbh, that arena was probably sold out due to McCloskey fans now that I think about it. He sold out the Odyssey Arena on his own a few times and we know how passionate the Belfast fans are.

Khan is not really a ticket seller anywhere. He's just known. People aren't going to go watch him in a fight that no one cares about - as shown by the Diaz fight.

LacedUp was milking the Porter win, which is all he does when it comes to Kell. I wasn't bragging about anything. I argued since, he has a good track record, he can come come back to it. I mentioned the past, acknowledged the present (Diaz).

I don't use the term sold out, thats a tricky term. Cuz what if the arena capacity is 2000?

Anyways,

5000 were McCloskey fans. That's still 11K watching Khan vs a no hoper.

-He had 10K vs a guy like Gomez, as a prospect.

-Same with Salita, that was in NewCastle.

-Same with Kotelnik

Now Brook's highest attendance # is also 10K, but vs Hatton, now what is to say they weren't Hatton (family) fans?


Anyhow, Khan will be the A-Side.

You went through far too much trouble to make a very obvious point that everyone already knew and never disputed.

Khan is still not some massive ticket seller. Not here or in the US.

Khan was a massive ticket seller when on ITV and part of the Sky Sports Hype train. Brook sells tickets, because he has the Sky hypetrain behind him. If Brook was fighting on Boxnation or Primetime....we will see how many people would go to his fights. 4000 tops

Brook needed Khan's name to sell his fights, Khan did it on his own. There is obviously something extraordinary about selling 10 K vs Michael Gomez as a prospect or Dmitry Salita in a place like New Castle.

If Khan was a massive ticket seller than he'd always be a massive ticket seller regardless of if he changed TV network.

He changed network in the first place because he threw his toys out the pram after Sky deemed the McCloskey fight to be not PPV worthy.

You keep saying that but I don't remember Brook ever mentioning Khan much at all until the last couple of years. It's mainly cropped up since Khan has decided to move to 147 which is natural.

Brook started selling tickets when he moved to Matchroom and he was given headline billing in his hometown - something Warren never did whilst promoting him.

I dunno what is worse with this fight possibly being made...

Khan wins and Dirk will all of a sudden become a fan of him again
Or Kell Brook getting the payday he doesn't deserve

That's your first thought regarding a fight between Khan and Brook?

What "Dirk" - a person you don't know on the internet - will say and do after the fight.

Jesus, you are absolutely obsessed with me. First it was talking about me on hardcore gamer chats now this. I think you need psychiatric evaluation.
