Aint ducked nobody???

Well if you know he ain't ducked nobody and not scared of anybody, why haven't you fought him since you have had that belt and made an attempt to unify. Al Haymon and Errol Spence putting pressure on these guys to make fights and I love it!

Thurman just fought Porter and Garcia back to back.

That's cool, he just needs to be ready for Spence after he gives Brook a little work.

in what world does o2 arena pay out more to the fighters than t-mobile arena?

No one knows for sure what charles martin and dominic breazeale got, but i'd bet that the reason that they were able to get as much as they did was because anthony joshua is already a crossover star in the uk and on box office. Kell brook is a known fighter in the uk, but he's not anthony joshua.

kell brook sells hundreds of thousands of ppv in london buddy... Pbc is anti ppv! Haymon is trying to kill ppv... So obviously he will make more money in london because of sky sports ppv money and o2 money..... Mgm only pays big money to big names...
Thurman and brook arent big enough for mgm to open up their check book! Mgm wants floyd vs conor....

Danny Garcia and Keith Thurman split $4m guaranteed on their fight; with CBS paying up a pretty penny to get that fight.

Keith Thurman(c) vs Kell Brook(c) and Keith Thurman(c) vs Errol Spence Jr, both bouts to unify the welterweight division (the WBO can keep to itself), are the types of fights that CBS will happily pay up for.

Between MGM Resorts paying up to host the fight, CBS paying up to air the fight in primetime, and the external money coming in (Eddie Hearn keeps the UK TV, and shares the rest of the EU/Russia TV, the Mexico TV rights, sponsors, etc) and you've got a pretty sizable pie to work with.

Eddie Hearn said that 70% of the boxing revenue in the U.K. stems from the live gate and not television. That is how the fighters mostly get their purses.

PPV, while it exists is not very big over there. That is why many British boxing promoters have to grind very hard in order to get enough meat in the seats in order to make a profit.

However, in the U.S. It's very different. More than 90% of the boxing revenue stems from television rights and not the live gate. That is why many so promoters can afford to give tickets away because of the guaranteed money they receive from television. Whether it's revenue from Network Television, basic cable, premium cable or pay per view.

He's not unknown though; he fought Shawn Porter in primetime on Showtime, the Jo Jo Dan fight was shown on Showtime in the afternoon, the Golovkin fight was shown in matinee on HBO, with Max Kellerman basically bringing up his name in every discussion on First Take involving welterweight fights, and PBC bringing up his name whenever they talk about big names at 147lbs.

He's not a star in the US, but to call him unknown is a bit much.
