He's struggling big time with the cut for 147. His team is right but the Khan fight is the money fight, and Khan won't budge from 147.

khan should demand that they fight at 144.5 pounds

And here we go. If you can make 147 for Khan in May you can make 147 for Spence in May. All the big fights are at 147. He's talking about wanting to fight big names but what big names are there for him at 154? He always seems to pull out when there's a competitive fight. This guy has one credible win his whole career. Sacrificing your face for a career high payday two weight classes up doesn't mean anything. This weekend showed fans how great boxing can be when the best fights the best in their own weight class. Boxing fans should want that instead of these circus fights like Khan vs Canelo. Canelo vs Chavez Jr. Brook vs GGG

He's been tight at 147 for a long time.

I get he wants to stay at 147 and keep his title, but his team have talked for a while about how it's an effort to make the weight. Sometimes you just have to move up, especially if it could affect your performance.

Obviously he'd stay at 147 for the Khan fight, and the money it brings. But i wouldn't bank on that fight happening anytime soon anyway.

Good choice for Kell Brook.

Just give up belt and come out and say what we all know if no khan fight u moving up no point in holding this up any longer

Well he should vacate instead of wasting everybody time. He already messed up the division by taking the GGG fight instead of the Vargas unification. We could be looking at having 2 champs holding four belts and the unification later this year. Instead we have Pacquiao holding a belt hostage fighting Jeff ****ing Horn. Horn is getting a title shot before Spence, smh. He's wasting everybody's time like he's wasted his whole career. The guy has been fighting for 13 years and has ONE CREDIBLE WIN and has pulled out of every competitive fight in his weigh class except one which was a mandatory for the title. What has this guy done to deserve only big fights? There are no big names at 154 so I don't wanna hear the BS excuse that he's moving up to fight big names.

Exactly. This fool is really getting on my nerves with this crap. We all know what he's gonna do, just do it. I had high hopes for Brook when he beat Porter but this fool has done absolutely nothing since but hold a belt hostage fighting nobody.
