sxp Kell Brook is a nobody, khan is a massive ppv draw hence why he is worth north over £20 million. I don't think Kell Brook has even made a million yet. So why would Khan except a 50 - 50 split when he's the bigger name.

It will be tough for Khan but I agree with what Fury said in his interview. If he can beat a super champion Khan can beat Alvarez

Hope Khan gets his arsed whooped. Have met him and him and his pals are a bunch of arrogant t***s. Waltzed into the VIP section giving it large and chucking money around, made himself look a complete tool. He has a suspect chin and struggles in the latter rounds of fights. Brook would destroy him and that's why he will not fight him.

Khan isn't even the best in his division so why don't brook look elsewhere and call out all the other guys in their weight, it's full with talent. Instead he would rather stay in Britain having mandatory fights living the easy life instead of trying to fight the best. Khan was chasing mayweather, then Pacquiao, they didn't happen so his signed up to fight the next hardest opponent out there, you might not like him but you have to give respect where it's due.

Khan is the bigger name globally and the reason he won't take the Brook fight is that he will a) lose and b) be overtaken by Brook in terms of British reputation. Khan's made himself look a right tit saying he wants the Brook fight then actively avoiding it for years. Bottler. A valiant loss at middleweight isn't anywhere as damaging to his reputation.
The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money. |

But your argument dosnt explain why brook won't fight anyone else, it's frustrating they ain't fighting, but that's that it ain't happening soon. so instead of siting on mandatory defenses brook should be calling out all the other guys, if he beat garcia then thurman he would be regarded as the best would hold the ring belt, would be huge in America and would have more pull negotiating with khan but maybe brook is too scared of losing at the first hurdle of trying to be the best.

Smacks of desperation. Brook is crying out for attention. As I said he's making himself look like Junior Witter did when chasing a fight with Hatton. Hatton took on Mayweather and lost yet he still didn't have to come back to England and fight Witter. Pacquiao saw the numbers Hatton could generate and said I'll have some of that too. If Khan sells tickets and PPV for this fight, he'll still be able to get good fights out there even with a loss. And Brook is still there for a fall-back payday.

"Desperation" I would say recognition. Khan knows Brook will beat him, dress it up how you like. Khan is a avoiding brook. Kahn 's management team know that a loss to Alverez will not be anywhere near as damaging as a loss to brook. Thats why they took that fight, over fighting Brook. I hope the arrogant little toss pot gets his arse handed to him and Alverez knocks him the f*** out. You watch he'll want to fight Brook then, and I hope he gets the chance to as brook will beat the snot out of him.

You cant blame Khan he was chasing mayweather and Pacquiao, not that I think he deserved a shot at either but he wants to fight the best.

Do you not recognise that he has secured a bigger fight than Brook v Khan? A fight which only holds domestic interest really. They will fight after if Khan loses in May, which I expect him to. Then we can see if your prediction (over-confident one IMO) is correct. I don't believe Brook would even beat him until he's shown me more against other high class opponents.

khan has struggled when ever he has encountered someone who is not phased with his puinch power, and has a bit of a dig themselves. Sure he has come to win fights where he has been hit on his arse and credit due for that, but for me every time he steps up to ask a question " am I world class " he gets beaten, and so it will be with Alverez. You may think my opinion is daft, and thats as may be, but it comes down to this, can Brook take a shot off Khan ? my answer would be yes he can. Ask yourself the same question the other way round ?

Khan doesn't have big punch power if you ask me, he's has speed and technique and he's shown himself to be more punch resilient in his latter fights. I don't think your opinion that Brook will win is daft, more that you seem to think he'll walk it. He wouldn't even be favourite IMO. Just read this and Brook gives him credit for taking the fight and is still talking about them fighting after. Khan has all the options, which was my point, Brook doesn't which is why he's made himself look a bit too desperate. Edited by Stuk (08 Feb 2016 2.32pm)
