    he's not going to fight a puncher right away. surely you guys undersand this... right?

    the guy just took the first knockout loss of his career and had to get surgery to repair a broken orbital bone. he's probably got hardware in his face that needs to heal.



    brook can make a lot of money if he's moved right. another bad knockout loss or injury to that eye and his career is in jeopardy.

            According to Roy Jones jnr at the end of the previous round he was looking for a way out to show he didn't quit Max Kellerman tweeted it

            Max Kellerman ‏@Max_Kellerman 2h
            After 4th, Roy Jones watched Brook in corner & told me "Brook giving up." Corner stopped prematurely to put responsibility on them #GGGBrook

                Brook just made career high payday, millions. You think he would want to downgrade to a novice like Spence after making millions against ggg? Plus he has to come back down in weight which is a disadvantage.

                It is strictly business. Who da *** is Spence.

                  They just want to cross all I's and dot all the T's to make the best fight for him. Right now that is the Amir Khan fight.

                  The IBF title is a big negotiating tool for Brook in the negotiations with Khan. If the Khan fight doesn't get finalized, he will fight Spence because the IBF is the only organization that enforces their rules.

                    IBF are the ones we should be getting annoyed at IMO.

                    Cant blame a fighter or a promoter for acting in their own financial interests, but the IBF should be telling them unequivocally, you are fighting Spence next, or we are stripping you of your title.
