Comments Thread For: Froch Jabs Amir Khan: 70-30 Demand To Fight Brook is 'Ridiculous'

[Progrssive_Jedi]

How the **** did Khan become A-side to anything

Khan is a KO in waiting. Wtf is wrong with boxing.

Yeah 70-30 is ridiculous, 80-20 is probably more fair. lol who the hell is kell brook? Anywhere away from London he's unknown...Khan is the Money fight + now when he eventually comes down to 60-40 it looks like they were the ones trying to make the fight

Who the hell is Khan but a punching back

Don't forget that with Pac announcing a multi-fight 'road trip', Khan still hasn't given up on the Pac payday.

Fighting and losing to Brook, he hands that Pac lottery ticket to Brook. So his 70% demand is more what price he is willing to sell his Pac lottery ticket for,.

I don't think Khan will bend on the 70% (and other demands to make the fight unacceptable) until the Pac lottery goes away once and for all.

Pacquiao is not fighting Khan ever.

Garcia, Peterson if he could get him in there, could go up and fight cotto.

Peterson? that's reaching. Also, when they first fought both were below 1million, I don't see how that's going to change as no major broadcaster would pay for that average fight.

Khan isn't fighting Cotto at 154 ever in his life, it would also be the second murder he would experience at that weight.

Garcia? Even that fight pales infinitely compared to the Brook fight on a money level. But that's probably his only other option.

Brook could realistically fight Garcia for a unification, or Thurman or Spence, or could go up to 154 and get an instant shot at any of the champions there.

Outside of Garcia, which is only realistic if Khan is still his mandatory which by now is totally laughable and crazy if he is or remains. But there's a very real chance of Garcia losing to Thurman and is Khan fighting him? Doubt it.

Froch is overreacting here. Brook lets face it has been fighting tomato cans throughout his life. He only fought Porter and GGG while Khan was facing better opposition for a long time. The title doesn't define Khan, he has a better resume. 70-30 split is not unreasonable and thats the fair split. If Khan wants to be generous he can give a 60-40. Compare good fighters Khan has fought, on the road as well and you will notice this isn't absurd.

"the title doesn't define Khan"

No one with as average a resume as Amir Khan gets such ridiculous statements made about him.

Khan is an average fighter who was a world champion 5 years ago and has struggled with the likes of Algieri, got KOd badly multiple times, some by average fighters and generally hasn't looked like much since 2010.

He's not a PPV draw anywhere, he doesn't pack out arenas, he doesn't draw unbelievable ratings.

So where exactly is he deserving of 70% split?

When did he sell out O2 COMPLETELY like Brook has done twice in a year? Or headlined multiple PPVs? Or won world titles against actual legit unbeaten champions?

Khan is a myth that died in 2008. Unfortunately a few simpletons around here still think like it's 10 years ago.

Fab post right on the money.....I see from a previous post that Brook has suggested 70% to the winner........This should keep him off social media for a while!

[Chrismart]

I like that '70-30 for the winner' tweet from Brook.

As for Khan, i think there's something in Froch's line about 'Pricing himself out'.

Agree 100%. Green karma for you! (Not like you need anymore tho)

Froch: Brook lost to GGG but he has never been wiped out.

He has also never thrown in the towel nor lost every round to a guy with one hand.

Khan has drawn huge ratings with Algieri. Brook's fight with Porter had less viewers than Garcia-Salka by 100K.

Dude, I've said this a million times, at least you got something to dissect with Khan. What is there to talk about Kell?



Brook has a 12 years career, 37 fights, 36 wins and 1 good win and the rest is "fight a bum, use Khan's name to hype it, rinse and repeat". Oh yes but he has a mickey mouse World title. Not that its one, but he has relegated it to that status by avoiding even the likes of Deigo Chaves lol.


Khan struggled with Algieri a former World Champ awarded Upset of the Year a year prior and Carson Jones probably still had his day job along with his 8 losses and was a fringe contender. Not to mention the b.s. they pulled by adding couple pounds just weeks before the fight because they had the leverage. Even then it was a ****ty stoppage that got Brook by.

Khan is a myth that died in 2008. Unfortunately a few simpletons around here still think like it's 10 years ago.

And Brook was a never been.
