Comments Thread For: Hearn Explains His Frustrations With Getting Khan To Face Brook

[Sir_Didymus]

Wow! Firstly I'd like to say for someone who has been a career welterweight and fought at higher weights like the rematch with Carson Jones it's embarrassing to even think he would want to fight someone that originally came from a much lower weight division (lightweight).

Secondly for someone who has clearly, for whatever reasons, has been unable to make good fights with good boxers this is seen as a clear cop out. His opponents to date have racked a total of 925 losses. Khan has clearly faced much higher level of competition abroad which is why he gets knocked out all the time along with him coming up from lower weights and having an unquestionably weaker than average chin for an elite level boxer. Hearn, Matchroom Promotions, Sky Sports affiliated pundits and Brook are an embarrassment to the sport of boxing. I wonder who actually buys their nonsense. Sheesh.

They're in for a rude awakening if this is the kind of stuff they're thinking about with their one week extension and we've already heard Hearn say "Only Amir Khan can stop this fight from happening" with Spence. LOL! Like why would he? It's what Khan and his advisors, who also advise Spence, wanted all along.

How does that old adage go again??

BEGGARS CAN'T BE CHOOSERS

LOL

I don't know why people are giving Hearn ****. Brook/Khan is a compelling fight that would be huge (at least in the UK); Of course he's gonna keep trying to make it happen no matter what. It's called common sense. They'll probably never get Khan to take it, but it doesn't hurt to keep trying.

Yes they would take the 30% offered

You can't really blame Brook TOO much here.

He has called out Khan for years and Khan was always like 'win a title' or 'beat Matthew Hatton' etc.

So, when Brook does ALL this (including winning a title in the US, just like Khan did) Khan's is no like 'fight your mandatory' or 'I will only take 80/20'.

Brook wants a massive payday for minimum risk fighting Khan, whats wrong with that?

On the other hand, Khan is constantly making new excuses and pricing himself out.

I don't even believe Khan is that interested in boxing anymore, he just want to be a twitter warrior.

There's a lot wrong with that if you consider that Kell Brooks entire career has been about "minimum risk" as you put it with minimum pay bar two fights. One of which gave him his first decent pay check and was signed in 24hrs and got his orbital broken when he could easily have been fighting a weak Vargas and have become a bonafide, unified Welterweight superstar on a collision course with the winner of Garcia vs Thurman.

Surely you can't take any fighter whose career opponents total a number of 925 losses and can never make a decent fight when it counts that seriously?? This fight is basically FORCED on him. You literally have to FORCE him to fight LOL!!

So you can see Khan isn't interested in the fight. I can see Khan isn't interested in the fight. Everybody can see Khan isn't interested in the fight but Eddie and Kell. Eddie and Kell have done everything Khan told them to do and still won't fight him. People are wondering why can't Eddie and Kell see what we can clearly see. Why won't they move on

Exactly, thank you. He really undermines Brook by mentioning Khan all the time and makes his fighter seem desperate and not capable of drawing in a big crowd, and at the same time inflates Khan's ego.

Yes, Hearn so desperately wants his share of the $$$!
