Hang on.. Brook gets 80-20 split vs GGG?

[Motorcity Cobra]

I ask again... Khan is a Haymon fighter. Why do you think Haymon allowed Khan to fight on HBO?

You said GGG can fight on any station so why doesn't Showtme/PBC offer him a fight. He can't fight on any station. What does Khan fighting on HBO have to do with GGG fighting on Showtime?

Khan is worth £15 million quid (this was pre Canelo, so he is worth even more now). In the top 10 under 30's UK sports star rich list

He's done alright for himself.

However Khan is coming to the end of his career....

Brook is still in the middle phase...there are plenty of fights on the horizon for Brook, as long as he is with the right team.


However, there is no shame in losing, but losing to Spence or Thurman doesnt come with a huge health risk.

Losing to Triple G comes with a huge health risk, he could be ruined for life, both physically and psychologically. This is not a Rocky movie, this is real life, weight classes should be respected.

The only fights for Brook next would be more underwhelming fighters if he was to fight in UK. Hearn has no reason to pay more money to fighters than the fight can make as it makes no economical sense. Brook is an adult and he has made his own decision. Brook was also the first one to ask Hearn for this fight. Hearn just made him the fight like a good promoter. Brook considers himself a big WW and the weight difference will probably not be that large. He is a talented fighter and I'm sure he will put up a good show for his home crowd.

yes but what he was saying is that Kahn has been knocked out cold before, even though his last fight was more of a cashout he lost to a few fighters by KO and he still made big money after that and had a decent career, brook likely can do the same but who knows.

He asked when has HBO every allowed a contracted fighter to fight on Showtime. And you said HBO allowed Khan to fight on HBO............

Very biased poster. It takes two to tango. Haymon dances, HBO follows. He allowed Khan, HBO accepted. Why doesn't Haymon allow Jacobs and Lara to fight on HBO?

[Sugar Adam Ali]

Makes sense, since Brook is the UK draw,,, Golovkin im sure will get that for US AMD international rights.

Both sides gotta be happy with the deal, as it took zero time to get done

Ok I'm wrong. GG can't fight on PBC/SHO. Happy now?

I'll ask again, why did Haymon allow Khan to fight on HBO? Very simple question.

That wasn't your statement. You said GGG can fight anywhere so why doesn't Showtime/PBC offer GGG a fight. Because GGG is exclusive to HBO. And who's to say Lara or Jacobs can't fight on HBO? K2 has never offered Lara or Jacobs the fight. And the last we heard from Loeffler was that Lara wasn't approved by HBO. But that was two years ago, maybe things have changed.

Because Khan was offered a fight.

Khan has been knocked out cold once

He was stopped on his feet by Garcia

and he got knocked out and got back up against Prescott, which was early on in his career

GGG is a 160 fighter, he punches hard, he is a good boxer, he is capable of beating the life out of Brook. I don't think people realize the variables

Khan jumped in to the ring with Canelo, did good for 5 rounds, and then got knocked out cold in round 6. However he avoided a prolong beating because he had certain variables in his favor..

Brook has nothing in his favor against GGG.

This fight has the potential to ruin Brook, turn him to a bum overnight.

We have seen many fighters ruined after a brutal fight or a one sided war....I think Brook had a better route to the riches given his potential.

This thread is so contradictory. Some people say Brook is not a household name, and now you say he is the reason why this event will be success. People are going because they want to see GGG, whether you like it or not. Hearn was dying to get GGG in UK and was pissed off at Eubank sr for messing up his plan. And he wanted GGG there because he knows how successful the event will be. I'd take a professional's view over this rather than yours.

I just said it's more about the event, but the reason Brits buy events like this is because there's a British fighter involved. Put Golovkin-Jacobs in England and the fight would tank. British people are nationalistic, millions watched sports like curling in the Olympics even though they had never heard of it because Britain was in the final.
