Yeah, Brook has the talent but his choice of opposition recently was the main reason why I was giving Vargas a good shot at beating him. Now, he brings that level of experience into the ring against GGG. It just doesn't appear that the liklihood of things going Brook's way is very big and that's putting it rather politely.

If true, not sure how you can blame GGG/Brook from happening. GGG wanted CE Jr and priced himself out. Brook is obviously going to accept 80% and GGG isn't going to back out when he's getting paid money.Comment

What ???
A open budget is a open budget but if your giving complete control to the person cutting the cheque, Then your a fool if you just blindly trust that person and not have some input on the decision making
Just for instance the tickets, HEARN said Eubank wanted to Jack up the prices 80% supposedly. If he did that Eubank gets 80%of the inflated ticket prices. Well suppose they price the tickets are lower but 50-75% of those tickets or the premium tickets go to the Brokers. Matchroom supies the brokers those tickets, well guess who gets all that profit, it isn't the fighters and I bet the premium tickets are going for more then 80% face value.
I'm sure there's a bunch of ways to cook the books like that what wouldn't give you a honest representation of the actual revenue earned and expenses . But yup lets trust the promoter.
I don't know the #s and neither do you,
As far as Joshua, HEARN makes him come across like a idiot. Who just shakes his head with whatever HEARN says. I like AJ, he seems like a cool guy might turn out to be the guy at HW , But don't you think the person cutting the cheque is going to bend and influence the numbers towards his 20%. Yeah with AJ making massive $ each fight now but no one except HEARN and co. Know what the actual #s are.Comment

A little obsessed like your idol. Brook can be relevant all he wants in UK, Khan is more relevant in the WORLD and the World isn't the UK or Merseyside.
Khan fought a more popular fighter, considerably popular with a more accomplished resume. Wayyyyy better in fact. Just look at GGG's abysmal PPV sales vs Lemeiux.Last edited by Box-Office; 07-11-2016, 10:06 PM.Comment

So entering into a agreement where your in the position to cut the cheque and you have complete control over revenue and Expenses , but you have a problem when the person who you cut the cheque too wants to have more control when the $ he receives is directly related to how much revenue comes in and expenses go out. Kind of a snake move.
But let's trust the guy that's supposedly working for a 1/5 of the profit
I could be off base and Eubank could have asked for the moon. I don't know all I know is when I saw that interview I was like what the f.uck if you really wanted to get your fighter max which but have a problem with ticket prices going up at face value knowing you won't recieve the nut on the back end with the resellers that's kind of a snake move because that 80/20 isn't really a fair representation of a actual 80/20.Comment

Still a bigger world than Northern England.
Ummm, two more foreign countries than Kell is known in, sooo....
By fighting Canelo, the biggest superstar in boxing, he had that exposure to the Latin American audience who are big boxing fans. Not to mention he has been in States for 7 years now so he was already a name anyways. Khan is more known A) because of his boxing (US,UK, Latin America) and B) his background (South Asia/M.E).
You're banking on this one fight to make Brook a global star but really Kell will be known as a guy who begged Khan for a payday and priced himself at the last minute, had one elite win entire career and got smashed up by GGG but was always liked better than Khan because his mum was English.Comment

Brook is known all over the UK and his fights does far better than Khan's in the UK. Now he's making headline news on USA today, ESPN, CBS, Mexico everywhere.Still a bigger world than Northern England.

Khan is known for ducking Brook and getting knocked out everytime he fights. That's it. You ask people on the street who Khan is? They say: Isn't that that weird, skinny baby-giraffe, bambi on ice look-a-like?
He's basically a bum by this stage. People would call up the Police from the O2 if Brook ever decided to throw Khan that bone, shouting: "Come quick, stop this abuse".Comment
