Comments Thread For: Hearn: Brook Has 75-25 Split if Spence Fight Goes To Purse Bid

[Gentblue]

Porter is a much more credible win than Leonard Bundu and Chris Algieri.

Yes and who has he fought since then... that's my point....

The great Gennady Golovkin. Who has Spence fought so far? Chris "I got knocked down by Pacquiao 8 times" Algieri is his best win and he's not even considered a top 15 guy at Welterweight.

A money fight he knew he was gonna lose going in. You really wanna bring that up. So again since Porter who has he really fought because since then? His comp is worse then Spence's , hell it's worse then Garcia's


.. He's tried to fight Garcia, Thurman and he's the Mando for Brook who's still talking crap.

If they can't negotiate a better deal in good faith then yes, the purse split is 75-25.

Is Hearn insinuating that he isn't even going to bother negotiating in good faith?

Hearn is in no hurry -- Brook needs more time in order to get his eye socket properly healed and go down in weight...
Hearn will negotiate, he will call for extended negotiations and then, eventually, he will go for a purse bid he is very likely to win...

Money shouldn't be spence priority right now, so I don't see this as an issue. Bradley came to the UK to beat Witter and then went on to establish himself. Hopefully Team spence would not be one of those teams that cries about not getting a chance and then making money their first priority when given one.

i agree and i see the push back that you are getting by these idiot who support his PAID suicided mission that turned into wat we all said it would be...A WASTE OF FUGGIN TIME..that only hurt the sport more than it helped it .

Rubbish. GGG vs Brooke was a great fight while it lasted and every casual fan I've spoken to loved it.

This is standard for mandatories. If there's any issue on money then Spence doesn't want the fight.

I'm sick and tired of this bs.

... though, a fight promoted by Hearn in the UK is likely to generate some money... on another hand, team Spence would want to secure this fight -- as Hearn will look to buy time in order to allow Brook to heal properly.

Why would he want to give him more than 25%? Spence brings nothing for Brook, he's just a mandatory requirement.

Well casuals is where the money is at, doesn't change the fact that it was a fight he was never going to win and essentially he only took it because of the money.

I think Brook should still get some credit for taking the fight but it was a win win situation for him. And just because he took that fight doesn't mean he can't be accused of avoiding anyone. I don't think he's avoiding Spence but this fight is not a win win situation.... he has a lot to lose in the Spence fight.
