Brook and promoter Eddie Hearn turned it down. Brook already has an Oct. 20 fight in his hometown of Sheffield, England scheduled against Hector Saldivia -- a fight Brook is a heavy favorite in.

Brook-Saldivia is a title eliminator that will give the winner a mandatory shot at titlist Randall Bailey (or Devon Alexander, should Alexander defeat Bailey on Oct. 20 on Showtime).

But why not take a title shot against Bradley rather than fight an eliminator first?

"The Bradley fight was put in front of me, but I believe the mandatory position in the IBF is the right move," Brook said. "Eddie [Hearn] has worked hard to get me into this position and providing I beat Saldivia, I'll be fighting for a world title at the start of 2013, and it will be on my terms. I would love that to be in Sheffield, too, and I know Eddie would do his best to get it here as it would be an amazing event."

Said Hearn, "Top Rank contacted me in August and made us an offer for the Bradley fight. It was a nice ego boost for Kell to be offered a fight of such magnitude, but we begun this journey with a goal of becoming a mandatory challenger and now we are just one win away."

Nice spin from Hearn, since Brook could have had the title shot immediately. But I get it. Brook gets to stay at home -- rather than come to the United States to face Bradley -- and faces Saldivia, which should be an easy win.

Brook can make that payday and then be in position for the title bout, where he is guaranteed at least 25 percent of the money under a potential purse bid and, as a mandatory, won't have to give up options or a rematch clause.

If Spence wins impressively then it may be the birth of genuine superstar and in a division with a lot of top,top fighters. I am not particularly partisan about this fight tbh. Though I like Brook.

Not really, he will have to move up in weight class and I dont think he can beat Lara or Jermall Charlo. He is a big welterweight and uses his youth to lose weight easily.

Black Brits aren't American street animals.
You should know the difference
Keep crying. Going to be gold on here if Spence goes over there and gets Lacey'd

These so American Street animals easily out boxes the English. Mayweather and Crawford.

How is Brook gonna make the weight? He's too big.

Good for Brook to take the fight finally.

I still pick Spence to beat him.

[-DSG-]

The way Danny told Spence he had to fight somebody to earn his shot then turned around and fought somebody Spence beat as a prospect you'd think Spence was P4P #1 of all time

Lol dannys resumes ****s on Spence
His best win is algieri ha ha ha

Yep, Danny resume is better than Spence's. Spence gotta earn his shot. That guy Spence beat that Danny fought, what did he do to earn his shot?

Shot at what? It was a non title fight and he was there to get his ass beat for dannys fans in philly.
