Comments Thread For: Brook: Khan Wanted 70-30, Fight in Bolton Venue, Walk Out Second

[@rehman_saadi]

So can some sane person tell me how much Amanda Nunes got to fight Rhonda Rousey? Keeping in mind that Rousey was KTFO in her last fight and she was fighting the Undefeated Champion Amanda Nunes.
Now apply same rules to this fight. Brook should take whatever is available on the table with a little negotiation if possible, or fight The Truth. It is what it is.
Brook would be ****** to not take this fight right here right now, cause it might not be feasible for him to make welterweight in the farther future for this fight.

What am I missing? Didn't Khan also said Brook needs to fight his mandatory first? Likewise, he wants the fight held in last quarter of this year, not anytime soon. Those conditions alone would make this split issue immaterial.

in Bolton..... kinda obvious, and why would that be a problem?

walk out second..... who fkn cares ?

70/30..... I dunno, kinda sounds about right really ?

maybe 65/35 would be fairer, but they could negotiate that

FFS Brook, take the fight..... you have been moaning for years

Good post.

If Khan agrees to a Brook fight now, Brook is NOT going to fight Spence and risk losing. Thus the reason why he is trying to pressure Khan to agree to the fight now, thus why Khan also said fight Spence first. If he takes the 30% or whatever then he is dropping that belt for us.

Why would he get 2 mil for Spence? He took a payday to fight GGG but other than that I doubt he makes a million to fight bums. His only good win in his career was against Porter and he only got paid $200 grand to Porter's 500 grand. But somehow he wants big paydays for that win and getting smashed by GGG?

My point exactly. Before he sold his face to ggg, he was slated to make a little over a million, and that was for a unification with jesse vargas....and vargas was going to make more than brook for that fight! So yeah, why this guy thinks he deserves multimillion dollar paydays now, when he's only had one such fight in his career, is beyond me.

For all the talk about Khan being delusional (which i actually agree), in this instance, he's absolutely right, and kell is being delusional.

Fact of the matter is, aside from a fight with khan, kelly is only making multimillion dollar paydays against pacman or canelo, and none of those fights are happening...

The walking out second thing is so petty. If it's going to make or break the deal then I think the party with less leverage should just bite their tongue and accept it, but it's a bit pathetic.

In this case I wouldn't mind that much, because Brook is a titleholder, not the welterweight champion. But I didn't like when Cotto did it with Sergio. Martinez held the real lineal championship. That's the lineage passed down from Greb, Robinson, Monzon, Hagler, Hopkins. Cotto's ability to motivate Puerto Rican fans to buy tickets doesn't outweigh all that.

You let the champ walk out second out of respect for the championship and its history, not out of respect for the man who currently holds it.

yea it's crazy..... I like Brook, but he has been whining about Khan for years

..... how Brook suddenly became this HUGE payday for Golovkin, when he was the B-side to Jessie Vargas..... is just as crazy

Golovkin fans be smokin dat shht, they are shameless

[SalimShady1212]

That would be total nonsense! At the end of the day, every boxer wants to get paid well. Fans don't care about fighters so why should fighters care about fans? I would love to see the fight knowing Brook would win easy but its clear Khan is not going to fight Brook. There's ways to get out of a fight without saying " I don't want to fight"! It's obvious Khan is using that type of strategy to avoid Brook.

At 30% Brook makes a career high purse easily.

[SalimShady1212]

People only say this when they either don't have a horse in the race or don't want to see it at all. I think you're more of the former, but you gotta try to see it from his point of view. At that point he probably feels like a man that's begging. He's making a guy he hates even more richer than him than he already is. A guy who is used to losing so beating him is not that big a deal, and that loser is humbling brook in a sense. I wouldn't at all be for it in his position either.

At 30% Brook still makes a career high purse easily. I'm a Khan fan but I feel Brook is the stronger fighter right now and should win. Hence take it and propel yourself to stardom with money and pride on your side

[sicko]

Honestly...Kell Brook need to TAKE IT! Whip Khan ass in front of 60K or what ever then after that it will be a bigger POT OF GOLD!

It is ZERO RISK with Khan IMO, I think Brook DESTROYS HIM and if Brook is as confident as he say then you take the fight agree to all his DIVA TERMS and you PUNISH HIM FOR IT!
