Comments Thread For: Hearn: Flattering For Brook That Pacquiao is Khan's Warm-Up Fight

[Larry the boss]

this is just plain ******

Kell Brook should be asking Hearn "how is it that Khan, after losing to Danny Garcia and Lamont Peterson, gets a fight with Canelo and now Manny Pacquiao, yet I get Gavin, Dan, Bizier, and Spence Jr.?

Hearn already answered that question. People are more willing to fight Khan because they know they have a hell of a chance of knocking him out...

[deathofaclown]

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

That's because the fight with Spence will be at Bramall Lane stadium, which means the football season needs to be finished, and it ends in may.

Khan would never have fought at Bramall Lane in Kell's city, and they would be looking at a bigger venue for Brook v Khan anyway.

NO, Hearn just sucks at getting Brook high quality fights!

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

What legacy are you talking about? When Spence ang Brook will retire, no one will ever remember them. They're getting old and have not yet accomplished anything significant. They should have been PPV stars by now if they are really good.

Both fights are relevant for the Welterweight division. Khan got his fight he's been asking for and it is a very winnable one. He has size and hand speed in his advantage. Brook/Spence is also a toss up fight. I'd lean Towards Brook just a little bit. Spence is really good but we don't how he will do with that big a jump in competition just yet. But we will see.

Lol....Glass jaw would have changed his name rather than have to fight Brook..

BUT even the older,slower,smaller and lighter Manny will hammer him and then we'll hear just how nearly forty year old Manny (that don't want to know Crawford) is back to his prime years.......

........ole glass jaw.

... Which is true... ...

Hearn said the Brook/Khan fight didn't happen because Khan demanded a 70/30 split, now he's saying it didn't happen because he wanted a tune up fight! Make up your mind Hernia.
