I would have liked to see Brook against WBA regular champ Castano. Brook is highly ranked by the WBA and Castano has fought on the road twice in a row and would have had no problem going to the UK for Brook. It's a good fight on paper as well.Comment

Idk I don't really see the upside in that for Brook. He's a name guy. He has value. He might need to go somewhere else for max value, but his face is 20% metal now or w/e. If he's in this he should be in it for big fights & then gtfo of it.Hatley from Dallas, seemingly unwanted anymore, spend some of the DAZN cash on it. Brook gets paid too much when you factor in Sky aint putting up cash for a decent opponent for Brook off PPV, and judging by his last fight the punters aint turning up to his fights anymore.
If he'd have been inactive for awhile I could see more reason to fight a fringe guy like Hatley, but he just fought recently so he should just see what pops up. No reason to risk his current position & the name value he still holds.
Seems like its a unnecessary risk with little upside to me to fight any non-payday fight anytime soon.Comment

If PBC is paying him more than he should take either of those fights.
Brook is trying to secure a payday or two with the fights he has left. Its not a Matchroom or PBC thing to him or it shouldn't be.
And I doubt Hearn would hold him up to make better money elsewhere if its there to be had.
I don't think this would be a poaching situation either. This is just something that could just be a viable option. PBC guys have fought on Matchroom cards. Matchroom guys have fought on PBC cards.Comment

Its a different world to even 4 months ago. Hearn gunna help PBC in the UK about as little as the help Hearn is getting in the US.. Wars on 2 fronts now.If PBC is paying him more than he should take either of those fights.

Why would PBC want Brook? And how could he make more money with them? He's not known at all in America, but is in the UK. I doubt he would make even close to what he does atm.If PBC is paying him more than he should take either of those fights.

I don't think Hurd or anyone said Brook has to sign to Haymon and PBC for a fight. I think that fight could be a co promo.Comment

Brook is a mere pawn in that war doe. I don't think Hearn would begrudge Brook doing whats best for Brook in this potential situation.Comment
