    If Brook beats Spence, and Garcia beats Thurman.....

    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?

      Danny is going for big money fights if he beats Thurman.

        Definitely Khan. And Brook would probably fight Khan over a unification too. Unfortunately I think that Brook will be the odd man out even if he beats Spence.

          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).

            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).

              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..

                Unless a Khan fight can happen (which i doubt), then i reckon the Spence fight will be Brook's last outing at 147.

                I also think Garcia would take the Khan fight for sure, while being confident of scoring another KO.

                  He will fight the easier guy to beat who also makes him more money and that's Khan.

                    I understand you said if, but it won't. Garcia will lose for sure against Thurman.
