Eddie Hearn's Greed..Khan vs Brook, Lets Crunch Some Numbers..

[The plunger man]

Can someone please break down in some actual figures & numbers how viable & big of a star is Khan to command $10M vs Brook?

I hear people saying Khan is bringing some huge audience with him when he fights Floyd, Manny & now Brook, but I'm not really seeing all that. I'm not saying Khan isn't a draw & I'm honestly not even saying Khan isn't as big a draw as he & others seem to believe him to be, but the fact this cat can't get a fight made with anyone suggests to me maybe, just maybe he's overvaluing his own level of fame & ability to bring money into a fight.

Than again maybe I'm wrong, but I've seen no evidence as of yet to suggest what others seem to accept without question that Khan is some huge star who's bringing in huge amounts of fans & money.

He's not even on Sky ppv and he cannot get on sky without Hearn putting it on there...he's with PBC as well so most of his fights he is on box nation...I'm English and a lot of people cannot stand Khan and he is arrogant...yeah it will be a big fight for sure but 50 percent will tune in to cheer on brook...I know I will that's for sure....not because I don't like him but because his ship has sailed and I prefer brook the way he fights and the way he handles himself......Khan kept saying that he is a massive draw here...he was big once upon a time but not now and he is regarded as chinny and a knock out waiting to happen......he has kept mentioning the Middle East and Pakistan well he should Set up a deal where any rights that are brought there he should get a percentage.....UK market should be 50-50.....and I think Hearn is more than fair in giving Khan 60-40 and brook is undefeated and a world champion

bbbbut but but Kelly Brook doesn't care about the money, bbbbut he just wants the fight...

Why should the teriyaki get 10 million and the unbeaten champion get 2 million....u have no concept of principles and what's right and what's wrong with that...it has nothing to do with money..if I was a champion I would be f@cked if some guy who's career has nosedived, who has lost by KO 2 times and has sc****d by with is last few fights earn 5 times more than me...it's what we say in the game ..he doesn't warrant that it's that simple and if you was brook you would say exactly the same....so don't like a twat....i wouldn't give a challenger who has hit the floor more times than John travolta in Saturday night fever.....

[FrankieBruno]

I'm far from a Hearn fan son.....he's a melchum and so is his dad...but let's be fair all promoters are.....Khan is not worth 10 millin pounds it's that simple....khans record is far from a world beater and he is kidding himself if brook gets 2.5 mil and the teriyaki gets 10 mil .....I don't care what you say and if I wws brook I would say the same to him as well...stuff you Khan go earn your 10 million against thurman,garcia and porter because those 3 fights together he will struggle to make 10 mil but in the process he will get KTFO so crack on Khan with your mayweather and pacquaio Walter Mitty fight club ....60-40 in favour of Khan is a fair deal it's as simple as that.......

Hearn could have probably brought Khan down to 9 million, but he wasnt willing to negotiate it.

70/30 can be made, which is fair

The problem Khan has is that he's lost some relevance in the UK being based abroad for the last 6 years. He's only had two fights over here since 2010, the last of which was nearly 3 years ago.

Brook should have surpassed him by now, but the fact that he's fought lesser fighters for most of his career has stunted his popularity.

This fight is a big fight, no doubt, but it's not as big as it could or should be. Both have fannied about too much and not had a big fight in ages.

What does you being English have to do with your opinion on Khan?

I'm English to and i like the guy

and even if you don't like him, that means nothing, the fact you have an opinion on him is all that matters.

70/30 is more than fair and Hearn can negotiate this

also Brook said last year it's not about the money, but now it's about the money? come on stop slurrping off Hearn and Brook

Brook is never going to be a top earner, i don't see where he can go from here, he has been fighting bums for pennies

Khan has already made his millions

Brook needs to look at the bigger picture, beating Khan pushes his star forwards, he also pockets a couple of million and there is also a possible rematch. Not to long ago he was willing to fight Khan for free.

Khan has another option which is a fight with Garica, he wont make as much money, but it's a legacy defining fight and he is confident he can avenge the loss.

Brook is out there in the wilderness with very little options...

Khan vs Brook is the biggest fight in the UK

See this is what I mean. People keep making statements & not throwing out some previous PPV numbers, UK ratings, gate revenues or how big Khan's purses have been in the past.

"Floyd vs Amir is a HUGE fight", "Manny vs "Amir is a HUGE fight" & "Kell vs Amir is a HUGE UK fight" is the best anyone can do with saying why Khan is worth more than anyone is willing to give him seemingly. I got zero doubt Khan is a worthy opponent for many guys & deserves nice paydays I just question him being worth quite what he's asking or $10M specifically vs Brook.

Fans in the UK think Khan has a big American following and fans in America thinks Khan has a big UK following. Neither is true. And he doesn't have a big ****** following either. Amir Con

Khan's shorts will cost 4m

Quite, simply they should both get 30/30 and the winner gets the remaining 40.

We don't need to throw out previous numbers...this aint america, it doesnt work like that here.

We are a small country, we don't have many boxing stars.

Its all about the media campaign here, Khan's name is cemented, and Brook has a title, both of them have a long rivalry, this is a very easy fight to sell.

Once the media campaign kick starts, tickets will be selling like hotcakes.

There is already buzz about the fight, even with casuals, who don't watch boxing.

Eddie Hearn is on record as saying this is bigger than Froch vs Groves 2....

Beating Khan is no hard feat...he's been koed twice ..beaten by Peterson ....a close victory over a guy who lost evey round to pacquaio, dropped numerous times so u make it sound like Khan is some ATG lol..get your ur tongue out his ass you muppet and wake up to the fact that not everybody in the UK thinks Khan is like a god...far from it...and now your contradicting yourself by saying it don't matter what the likes of me think of him...well it does because it's the UK market and a lot of boxing fans prefer brook....your talking like a twat if you think a world champion who has not bean beaten yet will let a guy who can get knocked out at anytime warrant having 10 million and he will get 2.5 mil...it's nothing to do with the purse it's about what's right....you have to earn it and Khan simply is not worth 10 million....60-40 is fair and if the total purse was 10 million then 6 for Khan and 4 for brook is fair...now Stfu and get some sense in your brain lol
