    Danny Garcia demands $5mil for Kell Brook clash

    The UK paper the star is reporting that Danny Garcia is willing to travel across the pond for a summer blockbuster with Kell Brook if Eddie Hearn can cough up 5 million dollars.

    Will Eddie Hearn put his money where his mouth is?

    I for one highly doubt it.

    That is actually plausible...around 3 million£?
    stick it in wembley with a decent undercard. entirely possible.
    Would love to see the gift get smashed

      5m sterling, no way does Brook deserve 50/50. Froch was saying he took around 8m whilst Groves took 1.5m. If Garcia accepts 5m dollars I'd feel he is underselling himself.

      Brook is not a name, Garcia is.

        Overpricing himself, this fight sells nowhere near as much as Froch-Groves. This is an o2 17k type of fight.

            Crunch time for Brook
            I'm just waiting for him to make daft demands, thinking that ibf belt & his padded record deserves all the smacker roonies.
            He's been harping on about wanting a name & big fight. Let him take a pay hit on this fight & earn after. He's been paid already with all the soft fights he's had

              Clearly some fabricated ****. This fight wouldn't happen in the UK. I don't even see it happening in the US.

              I think Danny will fight the Berto vs Ortiz winner, then the Thurman vs Porter winner.

                It would need a brilliant under card to get to those figures.

                  Cherry pick knows he'd get worked over in that fight.

                    That is not out of the question. I think with Angel involved, the Khan knock out, and the unification aspect this fight could sell really well in the UK. If it can do 300-500k ppv buys UK and with American tv money and the gate then it is a £7-10 million fight in my opinion ($11-15 million). If Kell is willing to take the short end of the purse financially, which would still be career high pay day, it certainly is one of the most exciting matchups out there.
