Don't be a fool. Have some pride about yourself

Yes it's a money thing.

Nothing to discuss here.

I don't see how anyone can be satisfied of this result when everyone thought wed get a welterweight unification and this stunt gets pulled where the boxer is literally only doing it for a big payday knowing full well he is going to get knocked out and there is no chance whatsoever of victory.

Were talking about a guy who had to clinch and hold on for dear life to eek out a split decision over Shawn porter and stepping up 2 weight classes to fight ggg after doing nothing but holding the belt hostage and fighting tomatoes cans for years, how can anybody be glad about this

This fight is a huge shake up for Boxing in a great way! Anyone who doesn't see the awesomeness and intrigue of this is nothing but a hater probably driving a lifted 4x4 wearing an affliction shirt with a tiny rod in their panties and schit for brains.

Vargas was getting $1.7million u.s dollars, which equates to £1.31million english pounds, its reported that brook was going to get less then vargas, no idea how much less. Eubank was offered £3 million english pounds which equates to $3.89million u.s dollars, eubanks were too busy playing hard to get and Brook saw a life changing some of money and no real backlash when he gets stopped. Im a big Kell brook fan just hope he does well, would have been much more intriging if it was canelo... Better odds of causing the upset at 154 then at 160.

People try to compare this to Canelo v Khan (when Khan was knocked unconscious.)The truth is Canelo gave his belt back and moved down to avoid fighting GGG!

It's a massive ask for Kell but can you imagine the laughter if it was GGG v Khan...lol!!!

It's not so much putting his balls on the line it's more a case of head on the chopping block ....but good luck Kell just not a fan of these out of division fights , especially two !

No he's putting his health on the line for a payday.
