    Yeah but there are genuine big money fights to be made now. Both he and Khan are coming off of losses and that fight has become a real possibility. Plus, the Pacquiao fight is more viable than it has been in the almost 2 years Brook has been champion.

    Then there are genuine big money fights to be had with unifications against Garcia and Thurman or even a move to fight Canelo at 154/155.

    Situations change and mandatories take a back seat when fights like these are out there for the champion.

    However, if Spence really wants the Brook fight, he can petition the IBF, who state on their website that a mandatory for Brook has to be decided by Dec 26th. Spence and his team need to be getting in touch with the IBF and pushing for that date and a possible purse bid.

    If Brook declines, he'll be stripped of his title, more than likely anyway and Spence can fight for the vacant title. It's a win win for him and it further improves Spences position.

    But I haven't heard a squeak from Spence about pushing for that Dec date. Have you?
    Brook asked for a 90 day medical extension and was granted one by the IBF

      Win-Win situation. He wins, he looks like a bad-ass. He loses, he looks brave for being a welterweight daring to move up two weight classes to challenge a bigger man and can comfortably go back to WW with his belt. Same big payday either way. Maybe it's your dumb-ass that needs to stop trolling.

        What does Brook even gain from fighting Spence? He has no title, he isn't a draw and to top it he hasn't fought anybody.
        People say Brook only has one good win well guess what Spence has none.

        If Brook fought him and beat him we all know all saying he is ducking him would be the first claiming Spence was another hypejob.

        He should stick to 154, no point in risking going back to WW unless its for a mega fight (Khan or Manny).
        So to be clear, we're good with business fights (Khan) now?

          Yh getting your orbital bone broken by the hardest puncher two weights above you and having your career almost ended is a win-win situation.

            Khan isn't a business fight.

            Is the #1 fight all brooks fans want.

              Floyd was run outta the sport for making business decision fights after he'd already proved himself as the top fighter in the game. Brook has one win over Porter and people are cool with his business fights (Khan, GGG)

                Dangerous fight for Paq at age 37.

                  It's a business fight. Khan doesn't have a belt. No good wins at 147. His best win is Algieri (really a draw) who Spence TKO's & he's coming is a KO loss. This fight is all business. Beating Prescott & Peterson's leftovers at 147 is nothing special

                    Yes fights have to make sense financially. This is his dream fight and in the U.K a super fight. Nobody knows who Spence is outside of 200 people on here.

                    Who in the right mind would fight Spence for say 1 million when there is a much easier fight in Khan with a rivalry that would make literally 10 times more? It makes no sense to fight him. People will argue otherwise but ain't nobody telling me they wouldn't be gunning for Khan if in Brooks position.

                    He brings nothing to the table. His best wins are a 42yr old gatekeeper and some failed ballet dancer.

                      Spence is disgustingly overrated.

                      He's a contender, but really doesn't look anything special. He has beaten no one of note

                      The whole idea he's some uncrowned champion is cringeworthy.

                      Pacquiao is a much better fighter as proven, for a much higher reward. It's a no brainer
