Comments Thread For: Hearn: I Want Brook at 154, But Spence Fight is 70-80% Likely Next

If Khan is a "nobody" in the UK, why would Manny be interested in fighting him @ 147, and not Brook? If Brook was a bigger draw, I think Manny would be pursuing him over Amir Khan.

Khan has more profile globally than Brook, but I would have thought it's perfectly obvious why Manny (or anyone at 147 come to that) would prefer to face Khan over Brook, isn't it?

The person I was responding to said Khan doesn't sell in the UK, and hasn't been relevant for 5 years! If he doesn't sell, and he's not relevant, then no one @ 147 would want to fight him!

I'm sure he can find bigger draw's than the club fighter Jeff Horn too, but he doesn't seem to be seeking them out either.

He's not gonna make a lot of money fighting Spence Jr. either!

So he should move up and fight bigger guys for the same money then? Great logic.

Yes, so that he doesn't damage his internal organs by trying to squeeze from 170 to 147! A fighter's chances of winning are much better when they can eat! Follow that logic!

Would be great!

Funny how people are making out Spence to be some unbeatable monster. Brook beats him with relative ease.

Very true , moving up has obvious dangers but staying where the body shouldn't be is most dangerous of all .

Again by that 'Logic' he would have moved up after the first Carson Jones fight. Brook is known to balloon in between fight, no looking for an excuse for him... he isn't making none.

lol...

If that's the case, they wouldn't be having this much trouble deciding whether or not to take it. hearn himself has said it's a 50-50 fight. we all know hearn lies, but if they felt it was an esy fight, my guess is it would be signed by now. brook beats spence, he'll get a unification with pacman, thurman/garcia, or the khan fight later this year.
