Comments Thread For: Hearn: Khan's Financial Demand For Brook Was Borderline Insult

[Ray*]

doesn't Brook understand that his obsessive stalking of Khan is the reason Amir feels entitled to a bigger piece of the pie.

for 3-4 consecutive years all Brook has been doing is begging Khan for a fight.

he justified fighting mandos because "Khan is ducking".

now the mando is a young, undefeated, powerful beast and Kell wants no part.

this guy is delusional, he thinks having his face shattered by GGG on PPV makes him a star.

seriously what has Brook done at 147 that makes him think he can turn his nose up at Spence?

Yep he basically sold himself short. He made Khan the man by doing exactly that.

Agree with these points. If he can't get the big fish you listed, for whatever reasons, it's a move to 54 for sure! He bragged about his condition (of course) and as you know he weighed in heavier than 3G.

But I don't think he's tops at 54. A sharp Lara, 6 years ago, who beat Paul Williams, could run the table. But I think now I would favor Andrade to beat him. And I think mall charlo beats him. Irrelevant right now but obviously Canelo runs him out of the ring.

But it's all about business man. If I give Lara anything these days it's that the dude is super high risk for very low reward.

Brook can't get those big fish because they all have fights scheduled, and Brook just declined Khan's offer. The only way Brook gets to keep his belt is to fight another WW Champ, i.e. Pacquiao, or he has to fight Spence Jr.

Brook needs to understand he wants to smash Khan. So it's a case of whether brook will take 30, 35, or 40%
Either way he will take less. He wants to prove its not about money then might have to take 30%

[Mr. Luthor]

He doesn't have much options IMO, He is backed into a corner by his belt, he has to vacate it and head to 154. At 154 he has to pray someone like Cotto comes calling, Maybe Liam smith would be interested at home here. I thought he had a chance of fighting Canelo but that seems to have gone for now. So basically his fighting options are Lara, charlo brothers, liam smith, spence , trout etc

He should be at a level right now, where he is fighting the Garcia/Thurman winner, but because he hasn't really taken on anyone decent at 147, others would laugh at him when he comes to the negotiation table, with his belt and one good win his whole career.

He would end up getting offered 30% or less for his efforts.

Brook has the option of defending his belt or possibly a big money fight against Khan. Brook also has the option of moving up in weight.
Brook biggest 147 victory was against Shawn Porter who also happens to be Keith Thurman's biggest 147 victory.

Since Porter who has he fought to build on that win? What options? At 154? He would be seeing fighters of spence level in terms of payday. He isn't fighting Khan so that's not an option. The sort of fights he wants he wouldn't get it because his resume is not up to scratch but he wants big money. He really need to sit down and rethink his tactics.

Disagree as Khan is a joke.
