Makes me laugh people are saying Khan has upstaged Brook

If you know your boxing then you know that Brook vs Spence is more important ,more competitive ,more legacy defining,more anticipated among hardcore fans, more relevant to the future of the 147 division than a fight between an over the hill legend and a glass jawed walking KO

But hey if your a casual that dubai oil money grab fight sounds great

So Hearn and Brook were ready and willing to fight Khan in April but have yet to set a date to fight Spence. They went from mid May to early June for the fight? Hearn should have already set a date the minute they decided they were fighting Spence

If they want to hold it at Bramall Lane they'll need to know the potential playoff dates to avoid them. It's probably just Hearn BS though tbf.

Hearn needs to let go

Khan once again outsmarted him

So ducking and doing everything in your power to avoid the fight is now called outsmarting someone?

Oh, right. Haha

[davef]

Also should add check out khans social media tweets ect filled with fight fans calling him a coward and a ducker hardly the reaction to a guy who has upstaged someone

They should probably be making sure that Spence doesn't mess up their future plans of good fights. If Brook loses to Spence, he will be hoping that Khan will give him 30% split. All this other crap is irrelevant. I'm annoyed that we have to wait until end of May/early June for Brook-Spence, when he was apparently ready to fight Khan in April. It feels like he is stalling and that's super annoying. Get it together, Team Brook. It feels like y'all are still looking for other fights...

The fight is signed, so no, they aren't looking for other fights.

Finding a venue is usually the last thing a promoter gets together. Relax, it's going to be happening with Spence.

Pacquiao-Khan wasn't even a thought nevermind a discussion a few weeks ago. Pacquiao was all set to fight Horn. It wasn't until the UAE offer and Pacquiao posting a poll on twitter that the Pacquiao-Khan talk begun. The Khan fans want to act like Khan planned this all along and he didn't duck Brook.

So many people on this forum are crazy so throwing truth at them is more than some people can cope with.

What you said is exactly what happened. The delusional posters won't accept that though.

What's the matter?? Brook has been upstaged once again? Khan has snatched the lime light from brook and hearn once again? You know what's the funniest point about all this is? it's the fact that even if Khan does get knocked the **** out by Manny, he would still take 70% against the bum Brook..lol that burns you doesn't it?

Here's one of the delusional posters now.

Hello there... What's it like on your planet? Is the weather good?

Hearn can't keep Khan name out of his mouth, he speaks more about Khan than his own fighters.

Amir Khan is one up on Brook with his pay days and he's getting major exposure by fighting Canelo and Manny in back to back fights. Although Kell did get the GGG fight it came at the steep cost of a broken eye socket which could potentially hurt him in the future. They just need to move on from Khan and let Brook create his own legacy instead of chasing down Amir Khan year after year. Kell should focus on beating Spence and then trying to unify with either Lamont Peterson or the winner of the Garcia and Thurman fight.

He absolutely needs to focus completely on Spence. If he manages to beat Spence (which is possible), a fight with Thurman(assuming he wins against Garcia) would be pretty intriguing.
