    Ouch, that last tweet from Brook was brutal.

    While Brook will still make a lot more at 70-30 than a Spence fight, he's worth a better split in a fight against Khan. Khan is trying it on there IMO.

      Brook really has to forget about this idiot and get on with his career. Fight Spence. Khan asking for a 70/30 split is just another way of saying he don't want the fight. The fight ain't gonna happen. Move on.

          This recycled story is quite disappointing. Why Brook continues to chase an Amir fight is past my understanding. Surely he knows Khan has no real intentions of making this fight happen. Khan has done nothing more than troll media and fans for the last 4-5 years with this fight.

            In terms of taking risks alone Khan deserves more than 50%, then Khan is also more well known than brook, resume wise better than brook, I think they should go there separate ways now.

              Haha... King Khan is still the A side. Nothing Hearn and Brook can do about it, especially if your only focus is Khan, Khan, Khan... There's no way around it. If it were me, I'll totally ignore Khan and make my own name instead of leech on someone's. Guys like Lara, Rigo, etc., can't do it on their own without leeching on someone's. It never occurs to them that there's a reason why others have relatively popular names.

                This is getting childish now. 60-40 seems fair.

                  I can understand people criticising Kell, we know he doesn't really want to fight Spence, he wants the money fights for multi millions, not a war against a young lion for 1/4 of the money. That's the reality of todays sport.

                  But with regard to these two, it's clear Khan don't want it. He is pricing himself out. If they offered Khan 75/25 to the winner, he wouldn't take it.

                    What are purses of Brook outside of GG ,better dont ask
                    In the UK Khan has proved to have limited drawing power, Brook has done far better and more cards this decade than Khan.

                    barely anyone has shown or viewed his fights. All he has is a sex video on ****hub to his name and a family feud.

                    Better hope that sells PPVs.

                      Khan can demand whatever he wants.. fact is Brook is the one obsessed and stalking Khan for a payday. that puts Khan in a position of power to treat the beggar as he sees fit.

                      the way Brook is obsessed you would think Khan was Mayweather.

                      I just hope the IBF strips Brook soon so Spence can move on with his career.
