Comments Thread For: Kell Brook Still Scratching Head Over Amir Khan Picking Canelo

[thack]

If he loses to Canelo he still has the Brook fight, so this way he can possibly get both pay cheques.

I wanted the Brook fight just as much as anyone but I get can totally see why he took this fight.

If Khan gets smashed to bits here, which is a good possibility they won't be stacking 80,000 fans in Wembley and paying Khan £8-10 million that's for sure.

If Brook struggles in anyway next fight then thats for sure.

The only way I see this working is Brook wins in style and Khan pulls off the upset and that I wouldn't bet on.

But for sure only time will tell.

I'm still scratching my head because Brook is fighting Bizier!

Exactly. It was all about business. Take a big fight, cash a big check whether you win or lose, and do another big fight and cash another big paycheck. Its smart of Khan if you ask me. What I find funny is that people always talk about fighters not taking chances and being cowards. Khan steps up and fights a bigger and stronger opponent that he didn't have to challenge but he's called ****** for doing that. Folks need to make up their mind about what they want.

I think what some people don't get is why he chose a fight he has little chance of winning over a much more competitive compelling UK grudge match but for whatever reason Khan didn't want it.

Yeah it will diminish any potential fight down the road if Khan loses but even Hearn said it will still be there as it's a grudge match and they always sell.

I honestly think Khan just couldn't bare to lose to Brook, it would close some doors for him but not so much with the Canelo loss.

Like I just said man, it was all about money. Khan is trying to cash out as much as he can. He's taking advantage of Floyd's retirement and becoming a bigger star himself. Its to get him bigger fights and more money later. He will fight Brook after he loses to Canelo. The problem is if he loses to Brook the weight will be used as an excuse.

Sure,

At one time within reason there was just Froch and Khan going strong but now over the last couple of years there's a lot happening with the uk scene especially with the heavyweights and there is more than just the Brook v Khan fight to spend the money on .

I may be wrong but the fight may have lost it 's real moment.

Brook it's quite simple

Canelo >>> You

You<<< Canelo

Khan is trying to maximize his earnings

Brook needs to do the same, get rid of Hearn and join team Haymon

No, i agree with this. The time was last summer, everyone was buzzing for it. now Kell has stalled even further and Khan is probably about to lose again.

He can lose to Canelo, have one tune up fight after and then Brook fight is back on track. Brook vs Khan is a easy sale in the UK, Eddie knows it

Depending on how he looks against Canelo, he can also face Danny Garcia after (Khan is still mando) which is a winnable fight, and grab the WBC title and face Brook.

That would be 3 paydays for Khan in a row

The fact you're factoring in a Khan loss against Canelo in this great plan speak volumes.

You are Khans biggest fanboy here with Box office and neither of you can see Khan winning.

I see why people have a problem with this fight now.
