    And as some people are likely lying - or maybe not, maybe they just got conned. Or maybe they got lucky.

    But I would remind people of these facts:

    Spence fought Brook in front of 27,000 fans at Bramell Lane.

    17,000 of those tickets were sold on the FIRST DAY.

    That's a far cry greater than the 13,000 Spence pulled fighting Shawn Porter, and damn near 3x the 6,000 tickets Crawford managed with Kavaliauskas.

    "Once again", Brook brings the fans if he fights Crawford. Period point blank.

      Fight is in Vegas doe. Not in Bramall Lane, Sheffield.

      Brook will get huge %age from the PPV in UK, which
      will probably far exceed TR's $2 mil offering.
      He'll get his just share from the fight.

            The point is that Brook will be the one bringing fans - doesn't matter if that's virtual fans or whatever - IF he fights Crawford and especially if he fights Crawford anywhere other than Omaha. Because Omaha is the only place Crawford can draw. As proven by his fight with Kavaliauskas.

            Top Rank is doing Brook dirty and if he accepts, he's desperate. Because as Brook is the one with name value with the fans, he should normally be the one getting a very good payday of AT LEAST $5 million.

            Which is why I said, if I were managing Brook, I'd ask for $6 million to see how desperate Arum is to get a fight for his guy and avoid working with Thurman on a fair counter-offer.

              keith thurman never asked for no 10 million dollars

              and this basically falls right in line with what ive been saying...2 mil for brook is not alot...its under his value....

              thats why we know arum wants no part of crawford fighting a pbc guy unless they get them for dirt cheap or its a big ppv fight.....market value for danny or thurman for a crawford fight is prob around 5-6 mil...those guys make 3-4 fighting nobodies(please u dumb pbc hating fgts dont tell me about their listed purses...these guys get more than that)....arum cant afford to pay danny and thurman their value and make money in a non ppv fight...and those fights wont do well enough on ppv

              2 mil for brook is peanuts to be honest....if i was bob id lock that up ASAP lol....but bob knows the pbc guys arent coming to fight crawford for less than market value.....and thats the only way hed ever consider those fights

                Amazing PBC fanboys.

                They never cry lowball when it's about their uncle Al.

                Thurman, Porter, Garcia, Spence made an average of $1.5 million each when they fought each other. And that was pre-pandemic.

                Here they are crying lowball on offers that's more than what their uncle could afford to pay. Truly amazing!

                    Flaw in your logic is Crawford's known downside guarantee. A $2 million payday would make sense if Crawford were making that same amount or less.

                      $2M for Kell Brook to fight in an empty arena in a sport barely anyone watches. Why is he being offered anything more than $200-300K? If he doesn't want it, tell him to **** off and have Crawford fight another undefeated Top Rank prospect. Pathetic that these bums can command these kind of figures. ESPN better be expecting a 4-5M average viewer number for this BS if they're paying Brook this money.
