Eddie Hearn: "It is like the IBF belt will be on the line for Brook vs Khan"

[M Bison]

lmfao are you serious?? thats all you GGG fans cried about when Cotto and Canelo was GGG's mandatory and now you post this?


Then you somehow spin it to trash Spence??WTF????

I was for Cotto Vs. Canelo happening it was a fight that I saw benefiting boxing it did a good PPV turn out and I thought it would in turn further promote a big clash with the winner fighting GGG unfortunately the winners manager had no balls.

money hasn't talked with the IBF in a very long time.

Seems to be doing that right now

Spence is a Haymon fighter infected with the same culture of inactivity. It's so obvious Brook is focused on the Khan fight, which is a big money fight. I don't know what this guy is waiting for. He could at least put pressure on Brook and demand answers so he can look for another opponent. Boxing is so f#ckd up with the kind of fighters this sport have.

Hearn and Haymon would easily come to terms... they work together.

[JakeTheBoxer]

Brook - Khan would be a mismatch, brook wins easily. Brook - Spence is a true fight.

OK but put Spence on the undercard to this fight so the UK fans can see what's next

Why didn't he fight the #1 or #2 fighter for his mandatory?

Spence is the #1 fighter and mandatory. Jeff Horn is now ranked #2. Spence has been the mandatory challenger for a while now, so not sure if you are talking about Spence or Brook?

IBF isn't going to change their rules, and do not allow step-asides. It's pretty simple.....Brook has to fight Spence next or he will be stripped, and Spence and Horn will fight for the vacant belt. Khan wants a tune-up in april, so why doesn't Brook just fight Spence in April? His mandatories were always so important to him before, but Spence is no Jojodan, Bizer, etc. He is a jackass for holding the belt hostage.

Khan is more money, and a much easier opponent, so that is what he will do.

[Herr Schmeling]

Spence want nothing to do with Brook. Al Haymon could have forced the fight already. Instead, Sprnce will continue to fight borderline top 15 guys. His mouth is bigger than his actions.

[Dean_Razorback]

Of course spence would be told what to do. He doesn't have any power lol. Still that's ******ed if true

this scenario really sucks for spence. brook and khan fighting for the IBF, thurman-garcia unifying and the WBO in hands of arum. he'll have to keep waiting

[JWHardin]

Brook and Khan will NOT be fighting for the IBF title. Not sure who told you that, but it won't happen.

As far as Spence wanting no part of Brook? (some idiot posted) Obviously have not seen Spence fight, besides not being very smart.

based on what? did you actually listen to what hearn said? he said brook-khan would happen with or without the belt and they'd figure out what to do about the belt after the fight is signed. there was no mention of a step aside. the mandatory is not due yet and brook is injured. hearn can possibly seek an exception like anybody else.
