Comments Thread For: Hearn: Khan Priced Himself Out, Wanted 80-20 Split For Brook!

[Clegg]

80-20 is a fair split.

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

Yeah, Khan's negotiation tactics have all played out brilliantly haven't they? 3 years ago his team said "let's do jack shit, miss out on all the big fights, lose as much of our fanbase as possible and become a joke" and they've achieved that to perfection. Unless somehow that wasn't their plan and they're just a bunch of delusional ******s...

One might say that 80/20 is disrespectful. But my question: Is that 20% more or less than he'll make fighting Kevin Bizier (whoever the f__ that is)?

If its even in the neighborhood, I would think that Brook should have taken it. At least he would lift his name (especially in England) and at the same time ruin Khans career path and shut his a__ up!

Fighting the Bizier's of the world is just wasting time while in his prime

Sheffield Arena will likely be sold out, Sky Sports will put up the money for the UK rights, and Showtime may end up interested in the US TV rights; all revenue coming into a show where Kell Brook is inarguably the biggest star on the bill.

Froch-Groves 2, the high-water mark for purses in British boxing, saw the two fighters split the equivalent of $15m. 20% of that penultimate figure comes to $3m; Brook is likely to make more than that for the Bizier fight (forgot to mention the addition of Canadian TV money for the fight).

[Straightener]

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.

Your right buddy

You can't reason with these dip s**ts

They are Khan fans , not boxing fans

[Scipio2009]

20% of 10mill = 2mill

Thats more than brooks made in his whole career!!!

Hearn needs shut his mouth and take the offer bec brook not making 2mill in any fight

Both of them are all talk but one them is a millionaire

Kell Brook's last fight was a headlining fight, from the O2 Arena, on Sky Box Office (PPV).

If you honestly think that he didn't make at least $2m for that fight, alone, you're an idiot.

Khan's 'career' really finished in 2012 when he realized that he wasn't up to it against average , very green Garcia who has you know brutally took Khan to bits bouncing him up and down and from pillar to post.
I remember Barry mcguigan saying at the time 'it's another Breidis Prescott , it's a long way back from this', The truth is Khan has never recovered from that blitzing and he never will because he knows what little punch resistance he had has gone. It's strange that people can not see this but since that night just look at his light fisted , little and over hill opposition , when you have someone like Algieri who in his previous bout was knocked to the floor six times , never winning a round backing you up and staggering you in your 'showcase fight' you've got more than just problems .
Khan is done and only the future will tell us how good Brook is , I would certainly feel more confident in Brook beating the likes of Thurman and co. and I would bet heavily on Porter doing a job on Khan.

So, Brook is okay with winner takes all, but not an 80-20 split

"its not about mooney foh meh".

[elfag]

khan is such a phaggot. only 1 fight last year against algeri and still blatantly ducking brook.


The biggest name I can actually see khan fighting is guerrero. khan hand picks guys with no power and non pressure fighters.

Almost every guy hes fought since garcia has a low KO ratio

[Lou Cipher]

I think you are having trouble reading or is it you're just thick ?

Hey ass hole.....Brooks own trainer just said Khan agreed to the fight and Brook wont accept what Khan offered. Shut up, listen and learn

Why should Brook take 20% when he can take 100% .....Khan say's 'it's about business' but now prefers to fight Garcia for his title rather than face Brook for his plus another £4-5 million ....'it's business' but then say's it's revenge ....Khan can't even pronounce Prescott....what a clown you side for.
