Didn't he say winner takes all at one time?

Khanturd mentions stuff that happened once in 2012Originally posted by Box-Office View PostKhan 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.
And Brook was a never been. Unsurprising. didn't read the rest.
Except that Brook was a never was?
He quite clearly is a 'right now' since he's a world champion and was involved in the biggest fight of 2016 or one of them.

The 70% winners fee seems not only to have kept glass jaw of social media, contemplating his next lie.It has all the usual suspects running like rats on here.
Kell with this offer has turned the 'negotiations' around completely and as Khan terms Brook a 'warm up' 70% is an awful lot of money for a warm up fight (might even pay for his inevitable divorce settlement!) ......lets see if Khan is lying to his loyal blinkered fans again.......I THINK HE IS ! ...watch this space .
Khan you are the boy that cried wolf!!!
and it's come back to haunt you ....that's what happens to liars!
Run like a rat Khan.Comment

Khan might not have been a champion for some years but he wasn't fighting pumpkins like Brook. Khan has by far a better resume. Brook only has 2 fights on his resume and the rest are bums. You can't exactly say the same about Khan.Originally posted by LacedUp View Post"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.Comment

That's the excuse Khan uses quite a bit, yet doesn't want to fight Brook to allow him to enhance his resume. Very similar to other fighters.Originally posted by Jim Tom View PostComment

It's not an excuse but just fairness. There is brand value which Khan has built by taking risks. This is the reason why most of the times there is the A side and B side. Canelo did it with Mayweather, Mayweather did it with Dela Hoya etc. Khan never refused to fight Brook. Brook was given 70-30 split which isn't outrageous based on what Brook is actually worth. Khan knows his worth, he took a smaller purse against Canelo and he wouldn't even say what he says to Brook to someone like Garcia. These brand values can be calculated with reasonable accuracy. Brook here was trying to pull a fast one by eating into Khan's brand. It doesn't work that way. Unless Brook is reasonable in the estimation of his brand then this fight will not happen or will only happen when Khan's brand has lost value maybe through consecutive losses.Comment
