Comments Thread For: Kell Brook: My Team Wants Me To Go To 154 Pounds

I'm already not the biggest fan of this douche. Vacate the belt and let Spence get into the picture.

****** and totally wrong comparison.

Brook was known in the UK where the market for a Khan fight was. If Khan vs Brook had happened in 2014 prior to Brook becoming champ, it would have still been a huge PPV fight.

Nobody knows who Spence is in the U.S or the UK. What money is he bringing to the table? Brook is not Anthony Joshua, he can't sell 500k PPVs fighting anyone.

He needs a dance partner.

How come? what was the guarantee? Don't you remember the McCloskey/Sky saga?

Brook should vacate the title immediately, it's clear he's not committed to fighting Spence and that's the only way he's going to hold on to the IBF title. I don't blame him since he wouldn't be 100% at 147 anymore but don't hold up the division please, Spence looks like he could eventually be the man to beat at welterweight and the other champions won't have an excuse not to face him if he has a world title.

The Brook vs Khan fight does not mean anything for the welterweight division, Khan is not a top guy at 147 and at 30 he never will be. It's a good domestic clash but it holds no relevance for the division. Therefore Brook should vacate and stop embarrassing himself.

How many people in the U.S would pay to watch Spence fight?

How many paid to watch Porter fighting Brook?
How many paid to watch Khan fighting Maidana?

ZERO

I don't make anything when the fighters do. It seems to me that you forget what prize fighters are fighting for: the prize.

It's ALL about money. but even if it wasn't , the Khan fight is still 100 times bigger than a Spence fight.

Key word "IS"
And not 100 times. might be 10-15 times

Just vacate already, and stop holding up Spences career. We know he will fight anybody.
Bradley didn't want it for the WBC mandatory
Brook obviously doesn't want it
Jeff Horn (#2 in IBF) is fighting Manny
Konstantin Ponomarev ducked the mandatory fight already

Look at the rankings, Spence will stop all of them.
1. Errol Spence Jr.
2. Jeff Horn
3. Andre Berto
4. Bradley Skeete
5. Konstantin Ponomarev
6. Charles Manyuchi
7. Eddie Gomez
8. Carlos Ocampo
9. Jose Benavidez
10. Ahmed El Mousaoui
11. Diego Chaves
12. Sadam Ali
13. Leonard Bundu
14. Dusty Harrison
15. Jayson Pagara

Spence is the first prospect I know who doesn't have to prove he'll knock someone out.

[LacedUp]

How many paid to watch Porter fighting Brook?
How many paid to watch Khan fighting Maidana?

ZERO

And now they are at totally different stages of their careers so totally irrelevant

That was in 2011 or something.

Don't even compare that stuff. You're just delusional if you think the situation was even remotely the same.

The fight was already huge in 2013, even bigger in 2014. HUGE in 2015 and 2016, slightly less big now but still bigger than a Spence fight could ever in be in anyone's wildest dreams.

Hell, Brook vs Khan would probably be bigger in the US than Spence vs Brook too.

Why should he give it up when the IBF have allowed him a medical extension?

Some fans, seriously. It's like this is your first fooking rodeo. That's how ****** you sound

Khan vs Brook doesn't mean anything for the WW division? Khan is ranked higher than Spence with all credible rankings.

No one would pick Khan to beat Spence, anyone who isn't a deluded fan boy also recognises that Spence is the much harder fight for Brook.

What is the point of Brook using the full medical extension if Spence is the last fight he wants to take, I don't think Brook is ducking but he's weighing up the risk vs reward balance with Spence and he doesn't like it.

You would not take this stand if the roles were reversed, that much is obvious. I thought you were an unbiased poster once but it's clear you don't dare swim against the current of bull**** if it's a fighter you like.

I've always been on Brooks side when it came to Khan matters and I said many times that after May and Pac retired he was the man to beat at 147 but it's clear he doesn't fancy the Spence fight. It's extremely hypocritical that he didn't waste anytime fighting the other mandatories.

Continue to embarrass yourself all you like but me I will call it like I see it whether I like the guy or not.
