Comments Thread For: Porter: The Only Person Ducking Spence is Kell Brook

[W1LL]

Shawn Porter "commands" a top three fight, and that kind of money? So he's refusing anything below that? Nice. He's right though Kell Brook is ducking.

spence been the mandatory for kells strap for a while now. kell trying to cash in with khan but khan doesnt want to pass the naan. khan wants all the naan, haha kell doesnt want to fight for crumbs. 70 30 split. khan pricing himself out of an ass whooping. kell fight spence and leave khan to himself. arsed and cashed out.

[Mr. Luthor]

Spence became the mandatory after winning the eliminator in August. Brook lost to Golovkin in September and hasn't fought since. That's not "ducking". It's funny that everyone else, Mayweather included, can talk about the business of boxing and money but Kell Brook can't weigh his business of boxing options when looking for his next opponent.

Foolish to say that a boxer that fought the P4P, unified Middleweight champion is afraid of a Welterweight contender. The reality is that Brook stands to make more by fighting his last 147 fight against Khan and then move up in weight. Brook gains nothing in a Spence fight because Brook already has the belt and Spence doesn't bring Khan level money.

B1tch pls the "holding" excuse is pathetic, Porter was hitting behind the head like a caveman so Brook had to hold him and the ref let them work it out, all the clean punches came from Brook the whole fight.

Thurman/Porter was close, Brook/Porter wasn't, Porter got a boxing lesson.



Yea some people really don't know **** about boxing.

(Despite the trolling) At least you acknowledge there was an excessive amount of holding. But I agree that Brook landed most of the clean stuff that night. A rematch would be a nice watch. We could get it soon too with the way things are going for Brook lol He's not going anywhere near Spence

[kingstip9]

to be fair to brook, dude did get his eye socket smashed in
Needed surgery and all

Kinda tough to leap into a tough fight with that kind of question mark of how he'll bounce back from it

At least without thoroughly thinking it through

Brook has had some bad luck with his injuries in and out the ring all taking time to heal. I think what he's trying to hold out for, a financial blockbuster for himself anyone in his position would do.

But Khan doesn't want to know unless its enough to take into retirement as i'm sure Khan knows it could be his last hurrah nothing wrong with that. Brooks timing many think is all wrong for Amir and i'm sure Amir knows this too.

Therefore it's time to move on and unfortunately Brook has got a very dangerous fighter chasing him and his dream and no PPv star either.Moving up doesn't bring that many stars either although some decent talent.I can't argue with the critics who say if he is prepered to fight Khan at welter then he should be prepered to face Spence there too....lets see.

spence and thurman are not 1 and 2.

pacquiao and bradley are. not only are they the only two active welterweights to do anything to earn the top 2 spots, no other 147
fighter has come close to their resumes. not even close. thurman brook garcia aint faced em yet.

also kell brook was
never #1. beating one anna half
contenders (porter
and senchenko) dont compare to bradley and pacquiaos wins.

Brook is surrounded by "sharks": Spence at 147, Lara, Charlos, Andrade and co at 154 enhance his legacy but bring no money. Khan is his only lifeline at the moment. 70-30 is the price to pay to avoid having to swim with the sharks!

[boliodogs]

Spence is a very dangerous fighter and I doubt Porter or Brook will fight him but time will tell. Mayweather isn't ducking anybody because he is retired.

Who has Khan got for a split of £10-15 million ? This is what doesn't make sense.Khan must know with what has come back through Hearn they would be prepered to give Khan more just to get part of this huge pot but just as you have an argument for Brook taking 30% of a huge amount then if Amir turns his nose up to this fight at 60% potentially £8-12m then even the thickest of skinned Khan fans will have to admit Khan has done another runner .If Garcia beats Thurman and defends against Khan , Amir would only be entitled to 25% challenger fees , maybe slightly more .....nothing like the Brook payday.So lets see if he runs or if he stays ....I think he runs.
