    What's the vibe like in UK about a Khan/Brook match

    I'm looking forward to it. I hope it happens.



    What do the McLaddies think about this match.


    Where would it be held? 02?

    I couldn't really care, they are both past their prime and just out for pay days now.

    Should have happened 4 years ago, they missed the opportunity.

      It’s still strong. However the interest is declining rapidly.

        I agree. 3 years ago.


        I still want to see it

          Don't think anyone cares here at this point if it happens or not. Nobody is screaming for it, put it that way.

          If it happens, it'll still be watched by plenty by the time fight night comes. Sky would do a good job to sell it to the casuals and the public would be interested enough to buy it. It would still sell pretty well, no doubt.

          It's not anything that people are bothered about either way now though. Nobody cares much about either now. They're quite far down the list in terms of popularity now. I'd say people talk about Dillian Whyte more than Brook or Khan these days when it comes to boxing. They have become pretty irrelevant but have enough of a name to do decent numbers if you put them together.

          I guess it's like Whyte v AJ 2. Nobody REALLY wants to see it, but loads will watch it when the fight comes around.

            Honestly? I don't think people really care.

            I mean Brook is not really that famous or well known in the UK. Only among boxing fans.

              Do you also want to see Gamboa vs Juanma?

                I'd say it would be pretty popular. Aside from having notoriously bad donkey teeth, people from the UK also follow boxing quite a lot

                  Don't see many talking about it I think the peak of interest was after they both appeared on the old SKY Ringside show together since then ppl here concentrate on Joshua Whyte Bellew ect it will still make a lot of money if made though

                    There has been so much happening in UK boxing recently that most people seem to have forgotten about Brook vs Khan. I'm pretty sure Fast Eddie and Sky could do a good job reminding them about it all doe. Eddie knows who to sell a good domestic grudge match!

                    Where would it be held? Probably somewhere bigger and further North than the O2. Maybe a football stadium somewhere in Lancashire or Yorkshire, if it happens in the summer.
