Comments Thread For: Team Khan: Brook's Father Complicating The Negotiations

[super-x]

If you think Khan resume is bad now look at Brooks 35-0 resume.

I wasnt comparing overall resumès, i was making the point that khan hasnt done anything within the last 5 years to warrant that ridiculus 70% demand. He hasnt held a title in 5 years, Kell has a legit title, 60-40 would have been more reasonable and negotiable.

Khan is taking a similar approach as he did with Canelo.

He KNOWS there is a real chance of him being KTFO by Brook.

So he wants to get paid and be smug about that, so he can say 'yes I lost, but I still got twice as much £££ as Brook.

Khan is all about talking himself into paydays without caring whether he actually wins.

[Ray*]

He is not 'entering negotiations'.

He is pricing himself out.

That is the opposite of negotiating.

They didn't just throw the numbers out mate, Hearn actually met members of Khan team. If they weren't negotiating we wouldn't know that Brook got offered 30%.

Brook hasn't done anything in his 13 years at WW to deserve 40%, resume comes into it when you are talking about parity, popularity and market value comes into it. Brook title is not a bargaining chip for this fight. We here in the U.K. couldn't care less if the fight has a title or not. Moreover Brook would have to drop the belt if he makes the Khan fight.

If Brook gets 30%, it will be his biggest payday to date.

If Khan gets 50%, it will not be his biggest payday to date.

Those are the facts. Brooktards don't like #facts

that is not how the split should work, but it sure tells a story

sounds like Brook Snr is holding out for another 5%

you think 35% sounds fair ?

Khan had an attendance of 6k for his last fight in the UK. He isn't a PPV fighter. The people saying he's a much bigger draw really don't know wtf they are talking about.

Bit of an over statement with the 'Brook hasnt beaten anyone in 13 years at ww' he beat Porter who at the time was undefeated and touted as the next ruler of the ww division. Khans lost 4 times, ko'd 3 of them yet you are firm he deserves 70%? at even a 50/50 split it would pocket khan more then he did vs Canelo, so 60% is going to be a fair bit of change. Why is he pricing himself out, he aint in no superstar position, he aint going to make even half of that boxing anyone else at ww whos name isnt floyd or manny. At 70-30 the fight isnt going to happen, so you rather khan stick to his guns and claim 70% or nothing and the fight not happen. Besides all this, who else is khan got to box who isnt as big of a threat to khan yet brings in big money? Thurman? DSG? Porter? Broner? Bradley? All these names are equally if not more tougher fights then Brook is yet he would make way less money.

Anything you say about Khan I truly take with a pinch of salt, not even 0.01%. I can chat with laceup and others and disagree with their opinions and vice Versa but with you I can because I know Khan has done something to you personally, which has definitely affected you in a sad way.

You can or you can't? make your mind up it's like trying to make sense of Khan.You Know Khan has done something to me personally .....Ray you should report him!

Making silly statements such as this makes me understand why you latch onto a mindset such as Amir's.

Keep taking the salt it seems to be working!

[Nightfall]

khan has always thrown a monkey wrench in the negotiations process then blame the other side. the 70-30 split is a ****ing joke. i hope Brook does'nt give in to that crap

Who has he fought in 13 years at 147? Porter and that's it. Khan came to ww Like 3 years ago or less? And he has already done better than Brook.

Khan fighting Porter, Thurman, Broner or Garcia is less of a risk for Khan, losing to Brook is worse for his career, he would rather fight all those guys for less than fight Brook for more.

So Brook is NOT going to get the fight if he doesn't forget about money and just take Khan out. Khan can always wait it out and fight more Collazos.
