    Hard to really know what goes on behind the scenes, but it wouldn't surprise me if this headline was accurate.

      Given Khan's twitter bombs, I think that there is probably some truth to it

      Mayweather is many things (and few of them good) and speaks a whole lot of crap but one area where he was definitely correct is that Khan needs to shut his mouth as the guy is little more than a contender that seems content to talk his way out of every opportunity that presents itself

        Looking at things logically (not the wisest thing to do with boxing promotions), Khan stands to earn the following from his opportunities.

        a. Allegedly 60% from a massive UK fight with Brook

        b. Maximum of 30% from a ho-hum mandatory challenge of Garcia

        Given that the prize is the same (a title), option B makes no financial sense whatsoever and he should be bending over for option A

        Brook should tell him to go **** himself and hang out to fight one of Thurman, Porter and Garcia in a unification bout unless he comes to reality

          They want to get in the ring with Floyd, and Pac, but refuse to put the work in that Floyd and Pac did.

          Than again Andre Berto got a Floyd fight somehow, I don't even know anymore.


          That why! Lmao that gave ppl hope so they all play it super safe now and hope to get lucky.

            Khan clearly isn't irrelevant. ...his haters need him too much, everytime his name is mentioned they chime in to say how irrelevant he is,its a kind of vicarious hatred that replaces their prejudices, probably the****utic.

            Brook is a straight up fraud....khan's so called joke fight actually beats vast majority of brooks cv....just pause and think about it...then compare it to his demands.

            The logic of khan is fair enough. ..brooks wants the fight.....Brook has the lesser profile. ..Brook the more needy .....therefore Brook takes less....


            Looking at % split is ****** ....if you guys have ever had a job worth having you know your relative pay rise is a factor. ...so 20% split seems low but is a huge pay jump. .....given all those other factors brook needs to stfu and take it.....

              So Why hasn't brook fought any half decent boxer since porter?

              Irrelevant of weight class khan still has the names. ..listen to plenty of boxers talk about khan and they mention that.

              Khan is guilty of fighting some names and then getting a bit diva-ish....atleast he fought some names

              Which is waaay better than someone who ain't done **** since one fight! !

                What names has Khan got?

                He has done nothing, nada, zilch, jack diddly squat and doesn't fight anymore

                Brook's win over Porter literally eclipses Khan's entire career

                  Lets rank a top 10 between the 2...I literally dare you lol



                  Plus porter is being overblown .... he is a credible name, hardly elite p4p sort of name, nothing to get that excited about. ..who brook barely beat btw....

                  Simply put the best brook got is nothing special.

                  The rest is ****.

                  He has a smaller profile.

                  More desperate for the fight, avoiding anyone else


                  Yet still turns down a career pay day.

                  And khan is a con? Rofl

                  Irrational hatred can make you sound dumb you know.

                      Ive always wished khan well in his career after he won silver at olympics.
                      But 80-20 i cant support. Everyone deserves a fair pay day. 60-40 would be ok as it would show khan is the bigger star and satisfy his ego.

                      But brook said its not about money? So maybe Brook could somehow get it to 65 35, or at worst 70 30 and take that. It will paint khan as the bad guy trying to duck for dear life.

                      When Brook kos khan it will make khan look even worse, and feel that Khan has robbed brook in broad daylight. THere should be a clause in the contract that if brook wins he can recoup some money off of khan. Instead of a 70 30 get a 60 40.

                      khan needs to fight now, not keep messing about.
