then will Garcia choose to unify against Brook, or will he instead fight his mandatory Amir Khan and get a 70/30 split in his favour?
If Brook beats Spence, and Garcia beats Thurman.....

1) there's no way that Amir Khan is going to go from demanding 80% of the pot to fight Kell Brook, yet accept 25%-30% of the pot to fight Danny Garcia in the rematch.
2) if Garcia and Brook both come through successfully, Garcia-Brook for the WBC/WBA/IBF 147lb titles is almost instantly a fight that is PPV worthy on both coasts (with both fighters splitting the money, in essence, 50/50)
Seeing the result for what it is, Amir Khan immediately calls up Eddie Hearn and agrees to a 60-40 Khan share on the Brook fight, likely set for the late Summer (to make staging the fight at a stadium a possibility) or later in the Fall (MEN in Manchester or at the O2 in London).Comment

Garcia stands as WBC/WBA 147lb champion, the business terms set themselves up to see Khan and Brook finally fight each other, and Garcia's next real fight options are either the Porter-Berto winner, the Avanesyan-Peterson winner (WBA mandatory), or a tickover fight against a guy like Luis Collazo (stylistically interesting, with the makings of a marquee event at Barclays Center).Comment

Well it's an easy fight they both would want to choose next so it's Amir Khan..
Even if Thurman beats Garcia which is what i am hoping would happen he'll choose Amir over Brook..Comment
