Was the Money for a Brook-Khan Fight That Bad?

[Scipio2009]

Very good breakdown...

And yeah your right, Kahn had a opportunity to make big $ now, with the brook fight still in the bank.

I've always have found it incredibly odd that Kahn never decided to strictly fight in the U.K. Though. Any idea why that is? I can't figure that one out, over there he is a star, here, not so much.

Probably because he got flattened by Breidis Prescott, tbh.

Not an all the way parallel example, but look at George Groves; after he got flattened by Carl Froch at Wembley, imagine how things could've looked different if he'd left the UK (though still having an avenue for most of his fights being aired) and set up shop in Germany or the US to rebuild.

Brits would have "one of their own" taking on the world, win or lose (as long as he looks like a world-level talent)

I never considered that angle, but I can see that. You get knocked out in your home country and decide to take it on the road so people might forget. I don't know that it's effective, but I see the reasoning.
