Comments Thread For: Hearn: Only Khan Can Prevent Brook vs. Spence From Being Made

[LacedUp]

NOBODY but uk fans want to see that fight, first of all.

Second of all, Khan has told him they won't fight until later in the year, and he has also told him to fight his mandatory, yet hearn and brook don't seem to get it, and has asked for another week before signing on for spence, hoping khan comes around.

They have mentioned cotto, pacquiao, khan as potential opponents, knowing full well they had slim to no chance of any of those fights. When it came to spence, he wasn't a big enough name, and this thing has been dragged out for 3 months before negotiations have even taken place...so yes, they've looked at every angle to avoid this fight, up until exactly right now.

That 154 argument you're making is trash. They know full well what the rest of us know, and hearn has admitted as much. The big fights are in the ww division, there is NOTHING at 154 moneywise. That's why they're negotiating with spence, because they have to get through him first. Brook doesn't deserve this medal of honor you're giving him, he's backed into a corner and has no choice but to face spence, or he can move up to 154 and fight lara, andrade, and charlo back to back to back, for less money than if they stay at 147.

Well in the UK market on UK PPV, that's pretty much all that matters

Dan, gavin, and Bizier were big enough names for hearn and brook.

Not spence though.


See how this works?

Except that no one has said Spence is not a big enough name and the fight is about to be announced? Brook has continuously said if Khan drops out, Spence can get it.

You're just talking out of your arse.

I should of said he matches his guys with fighters he knows they can beat OR there is zero shame in losing to so they can recover quick. Klit is a HW legend so losing to him is not the end. Bellew is a CW moving up so it's a no-lose situation. Brook moving up two divisions to fight GGG, the most feared fighter in boxing? He couldn't lose.

Brook losing to Spence would do horrendous damage to his career..

Mitchell vs Barroso
Campbell vs Yvan Mendy
Cleverly vs Fonfara
Sending Barker to U.S and Germany,

The list goes on and on. It's complete bs that Hearn doesn't put his fighters in tough fights. Utter rubbish.

Bellew can get so badly knocked out his career is over - No risk though
Brook could lose his career and broke his face - win-win doe

Seriously dude.

khan seems to think differently...which is why he's now mentioning garcia for later on in the year...garcia's not going to the uk.

brook and hearn have CONTINUOUSLY said spence is not a big enough name, which is their rationale for taking this long to agree to fight him. you think i'm making that up???


i hope the fight gets announced, but i'll believe it when it does. you never know with hearn and brook.

[Motorcity Cobra]

This is good news. We know Khan isn't taking the fight so Brook will be fighting Spence next

Yeah he would say that. Fighting Garcia for less than half the money makes total sense right?

No, they've said he's not a big name. Which he isn't. At all. No one knows who the *** he is outside of hardcore boxing fans.

They've never once said that he's not a big enough name to fight Kell Brook in general.

khan knows that fight with brook will always be there. if he can avenge a loss and possibly win 2 belts, why not fight garcia?


big name...big enough name...regardless, they've used that as the excuse to look for other fights, as opposed to fighting their mando for once. it's pot-kettle-black if you ask me, and you're agreeing with me, while trying to avoid saying so.

The fight won't always be there. If either man loses it's over.

I'm not agreeing, you're deflecting Khan's *****ness on Brook which is embarrassing.

both men are coming off ko losses, and it's still a big fight in the uk. both guys can get ko'ed again, then agree to fight, and you guys will still pay for it. they have some sort of strange rivalry, so the fight will always make money over there. khan knows this, which is why he's in no hurry to get it done. he's been knocked out 3x and you guys even now want to see him fight brook.
