    Also there will be no IBF title on the line if i'm correct and Khan also will lose his no 1 ranking with WBC...what does Brook exactly bring to the table?

    After the fight Brook will move up, Khan still has to stick around - if he decides not to retire.

      But the risk vs reward. Jacobs is getting more and he's fighting in his own weight class. Hearn pulled him out of a unification to fight GGG. Two welterweight belts surely would've gotten him bigger fights. Probably the Pacquiao fight for the WBO then he could've dropped the IBF & nobody would blame him for choosing Pac over Spence. I know I wouldn't have. Is there something similar to the Ali Act over there?

        Brook was desperate for anything at that point, he wanted to do outdo Khan/Canelo. Hearn was ready to feed him to the lion because he wanted to get one over on the Eubanks and make a quick buck.

          Brook slaughtered him

          He will then retire him if the fight gets made, Khan has used up every excuse in the book, hid last option is to now price himself out.

            Yeah. Eddie said in an interview he's never made any money off a Kell Brook fight so he was going to try & convince Kell to take the Vargas fight for less money because two belts will lead to bigger fights. And he was gonna lose money on the Vargas-Brook fight but it wouldn't hurt because the GGG-Eubank fight would make money. Two days later he announced the Brook-GGG fight. If you recall, Vargas-Brook had that original September date but once Eubank Jr said he wanted to fight GGG Eddie pushed the Vargas-Brook fight to October. That fight wasn't gonna be made unless the GGG-Eubank Jr fight was made. That's why Vargas had signed his end of the deal in May & it was July & Kell still hadn't signed his end.

            That's why when I hear about concern from his team about fighting at 147 I call BS because nobody was concerned about his health when there was millions to be made fighting GGG just like they aren't concerned about his health when there are millions to be made fighting Khan. But to fight Spence suddenly everyone is concerned about his health fighting at 147

                      Is he? I don't know. He might have a bigger name in the states, but the states isn't paying for this fight.

                      When was his last fight in the UK? When has he been on PPV in the UK?

                      When is the last time one of his fights were shown at a decent time or even properly promoted in the UK?

                      Brook has been on PPV, was involved in the biggest or close to the biggest promotion last year, world champ, active in the UK + he has a broadcaster and a powerful promoter behind him.

                      Khan doesn't have anything to give from.

                      insisting on 70/30 is delusional and shows Khan doesn't want the fight.
