    Brook: I'm ready for the big fights like Khan. Nobody knows this Spencer kid

    Asked if he's fighting Spence, Kell responds he's willing to go to 147 for the big fights like Khan. He don't really know this "Spencer" kid and nobody in America or the UK knows him.

      "Spencer" isn't a big name like Jo Jo Dan and Bizier

        yeah noone knows spence over here. Said to some of my friends who are sports fans and enjoy the boxing the other day that brooks got a good fight coming up possibly against spence and they were all like 'who?', none of them knew who he was. Haymon hasnt marketed spence worldwide, hes a nobody.

            Nobody knew Kell Brook in the US when he fought Porter and Porter still fought him

              yeah, brook shouldnt duck him and fight some bum instead, but the fight takes second fiddle to others such as khan. In the scheme of things spence is a nobody. Brooks priority is the UK money and fans, and noone over here really know or care about spence, a prospect whos fought nobody.

                But they knew Carson Jones, Bizier, Jo Jo Dan and were craving those fights? Before the GGG fight Eddie Hearn said he's never made a dime off of Kell Brook fights.

                  Not a good look for Brook to be saying this but he's not getting out of taking this fight without losing his belt.

                  There's always a Golovkin fan supporting the notion of Brook not fighting Spence as if GGG didn't have to go through the same thing when he was in even more obscurity than Spence.

                    I thought the fight was being negotiated?
