    Who do you think those guys would make more money against?

      this is what brook fans will never understand. all of the good welterweights are under haymon. spence has a free for all of talent to go up against.


      i wouldn't be surprised if brook fights the jo jo dans for the next 2 years to be honest.

          Brook is going nowhere with his career, sure he is making lots of money and thats a great thing. But he is fighting no one, seems to be going the Abraham/Sturm route

            Hell no. But I just seriously doubt Brook can fight at that weight any longer.

            there's Cotto and there's Canelo at the weight. The charlo brothers maybe.

            Of course some little domestic fight like Smith, but he'd get battered by Brook.

            But Brook needs 10-12 week camps to make 147. It's just not healthy.

            Plus, If Khan can fight Canelo at 155, then he can fight Brook at 154 or 152 or whatever catchweight that little girl would be asking for.
            Brook will have moved up by 2017, he's already complaining about how hard it is to make 147. He's only sticking at the weight because of the money.

            Spence fight has to happen this year, imo, Hearn should call Spence's bluff, offer him the fight, no need for an eliminator and get the fight done an dusted

            Spence isnt proven, but it could have a Jeff Lacey type of effect, whereby if Brook beats him, he gets rated across the pond. Spence has more buzz than Lemont Petterson.

            Brook then can fight the winner of Thurman Porter...there will be much more demand for that fight

            Spence is green, i see flaws and i feel Brook knocks him out with a right hand within 5 rounds.

            Brook should bite the bullet.

              What I mean is, those guys would get double income for a Brook fight. Thurman would be PPV on UK TV.

              So it makes a lot more sense for them to take Brook, a champion & on PPV, than a dangerous prospect for a lot less.

                AL top fighters at 147lb and 154lb earn similar paydays but someone tell me if I'm wrong though.

                  Brook wants no part of Spence.

                  He is only interested in the really dangerous fighters at 147.

                  Like Paulie....

                    According to Hearn he already spoke to Haymon about Spence vs Brook, and they don't want to fight right now.
