    The money offer is a joke, Hearn is using pressure tactics to get khan to accept the fight so both him and Brook cash out.

    The money offer will be decent, not exceptional.
    For Brook it will be a near quantum leap.

      Belts are not a huge deal, it means nothing to the average Joe that apparently will fill out Wembley stadium if you tell them Brook is one of 4 world champions....they will just say "oh.... "

      Once again it's a Hearn marketing scam being insincere with the reality.

      Belts don't mean ***** to revenue, cos they don't mean ***** to the average Joe, unless you are either an undisputed champion, or hw.

      What does count is excitement, great fights and guts... Something khan is known for, Brook is not.

      I know this is s psychological pain for some of you but it's just fact.

        -Kell Brook was untested
        -Who has Brook even beaten

        Khan gains absolutely nothing in terms of his legacy and resume for beating Brook. However if he beats Garcia and has a big fight against a big name,,,,his legacy improves.

        Khan won over the Mexican-American public after his fight with Canelo. The Mexicanas will come out to see Khan fight in the US, and HBO want him back on thier channel.'

          That won't fill Wembley stadium.

          Who even remembers or talks about what titles were on the line for froch groves?

            A win over a top 5 welterweight, a belt, and a payday.

            What kind of ****** question is this?

                One that his stans are making to continue to avoid excuse a clash with Brook. That would truly be the end of Khan's run with anyone that could make him big money. His stans would be devastated if he lost against another Englishman.

                  Ummm yea, if you want this huge stadium and ppv event it's nothing to do with the belts, it's about a story that a casual fan can take interest in, Hearn has literally said this many times.

                  The biggest UK fights over the past years were Ben/Eubank and froch/groves, outside more avid boxing fans no one cared or remembers the belt,they remember the characters involved and the exciting fight.

                  And khan is the guy with the reputation for exciting fights, unfortunately both are a bit dim and vanilla in terms of personality.

                  This fight was chased for so long because Hearn wanted to cash out on selling a story to the British public he could hype.

                  Khan knows he is the main part of the story cos no one knows Brook.

                    Would Khan gain more from Fighting Garcia or Brook? Easily Garcia, he would revenge that KO loss and get the green belt.
