    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.
    It doesnt matter if he fight in UK or USA his well known all over UK and last scandals even helps him more ,Promotor is irelevant,as i said 65-35 is best he can get ,30 is more then for GGG anyway.

    its llike you would say thatt Adamek was fighting in USA so he wasnt draw in Poland,which is BS bro

      it matters a whole lot. People didn't pay for khan in the uk when his profile was huge, why would they now?

      fact is it's the fight between these two that makes it huge. Khan doesn't draw 70% of the fight. simple.

          He was on PPV and didn't draw which is why he was scrapped from PPV and got pissed like a girl in 2011.

          Yeah GGG is a huge draw in the UK. So much so that shows like "can't pay we'll take it away" outdrew his previous fight on mainstream TV by triple the viewers.

          Huge draw.

          Khan's best payday was his last vs Canelo. Before that he was riding on €1million or less. So let's not make out as if Khan's purses have been astronomical.

          Most of his money come from endorsements not boxing.

          Lol at the scenario you put up. The same can be said the other way around. Khan can also fight Thurman for €1million, what does that even mean?

          The deal isn't right for this fight and Khan simply doesn't want it as he's never wanted it and that's why he's demanding something that's obviously ridiculous.

            Khans a bigger name than Brook everywhere, especially the UK. Khan is household name and is well known among casual sporting fans, Brook simply isn't anywhere near as well known. Khan has done bigger numbers ,earned way more and has been in the headlines for way longer. 65-35 is fair, Brook is the one that has wanted this one for so long so take the smaller pot and make more in the future if he's so confident in winning.

              So all you say is that Brook have same drawing power as Khan? emmm no ,you are horribly wrong here,maybe he was going on 1 to 2m purses ,still bigger then Brook ,Khan fought one big name in Canelo and did 600k PPV (nope not 400 or 96k as some fake insiders like to say)which for no Floyd/Pac fight is very good .Khan is A side ,all good with my scenario cuse Khan dont need to fight anymore.

              What are purses of Brook outside of GG ,better dont ask

                    I don't know about UK number/drawing power. Isn't Brook a star in the UK? 65-35 or 60-40 sounds better for a fight that is of huge interest domestically between two famous Brits. Khan has accomplished a lot more, but this fight is really of interest in England and it's split should come down to ticket sales/TV numbers over there.

                      Khan said Brook would make more fighting him at 70-30 than he did fighting GGG. Hearn agreed and said Khan will make more fighting Brook at 50-50 than he made fighting Canelo. Eddie obviously believes Khan brings money.

                      But Khan will never fight Brook until he gets old and looking for a cash out payday.
