    Khan really just pi$$es me off at this point. What a joke this guy is. Sits around and pines for Floyd when it was obvious he was never going to get that fight. Now ducking Brook when everyone knows how much money he stands to make.

    Go away Amir.

      He didn't price himself out, he just indirectly said "I'm scared to fight Brook."

          I would like to see Brook knockout Amir as much as anyone but question for Brook fans: why hasn't Brook tried to consolidate attention so he's the clear A side? Do a few fights in America to get new fans and maybe the attention of HBO or Showtime and take away a few fight options from Amir to pressure him, wouldn't that be better then taking mandatory fights in England?

            But then the snake would sneak away with the you've not got a title when he gets stripped for not defending .
            When a small timer like Amir Khan says he'll will fight when the fight is worth £100 m and his man now demands an 80 -20 split with the champion without question you realise you're dealing with a coward a true rat.

              You should ask Diego Chaves about the pleasure it was in dealing with Team Brook.

                80-20 is a fair split.

                No, Khan, no career for Brook, where as it is not true for Amir.

                  You should ask how it was dealing with Team Brook after he pulled out of an eliminator because he was offered a direct shot at Brook's title. Poor guy.

                      I don't like Khan but the split pretty much seems fair. Nobody knows who Brook is and he hasn't really done anything noteworthy.

                      He won 1 decent fight and has called out Khan since then as a full time job. Khan has 10+ marquee fights under his belt. If you're going to hand a guy a bag of money like that just because he asked you to, you'll want the vast majority of the cut.
                      Kell Brook is bringing the IBF world title, Kell Brook is bringing Sky Sports/Sky Box Office, and Kell Brook is already starting to establish his own name in the UK.

                      To try and act that Brook is bringing nothing is laughable.
