Thread: So..... Brook-Khan will never happen then?

Boxing news: Kell Brook vs Amir Khan not happening, Twitter row ensues | Metro News


Great.

Here are two perfectly able-bodied British fighters, with no love for each other, who the boxing world would love to see in the ring.... and yet they'd rather fight through Twitter. I guess it goes with the times, since that seems to be the preferred mode of doing business and/or trading insults nowadays. Maybe we boxing fans should just get on board. Let's see... who would I favor in a Twitter fight between Brook and Khan.... In that case, it's gotta be Khan. He's better known globally, I guess. Probably has the better Twitter following. Pretty good whiner, too. Remembering his epic crying over Floyd, trying every trick in the book to get Floyd to fight him. At least Khan's chin wouldn't be at risk here. I say Tweet on!! Trump himself would be proud.

Forget them both. Not too bothered if they fight one another or not. Just want them beaten whoever they fight next for some strange reason

The fight will happen eventually. Looks like Khan has a divorce coming up.

Saw the Khan interview on this morning. He says Brook has walked away from negotiations and doesn't want the fight. I don't believe that

If Brook did walk away from negotiations I can only imagine it being something to do with weight, maybe Khan is refusing to go up to fight and Brook can't get back down to 147.

70-30 split in Khans favour to right Brook said fuck off, Amir don't want the fight.

Yeah..... DAMN that Brook for not taking 30% to Khan's 70. Who does he think he is?

Diva, I mean pride alone means it should be 50 - 50.

Khans demanded a 70% slice of the cake and Eddie Hearn then tweeted him back claiming that even if he took a 50-50 split he'd still earn more than he did against Canelo


Khan on Twitter
"Eddie I'm the A side and you and kell know he will make more then he did against GGG. Don't you agree."

Hearns response on Twitter
"And on 50-50 you will make more than you did v Canelo."

Khan claiming he's the "A side" when he doesn't even have a belt is crazy talk as far as i'm concerned, maybe a few years ago but not now and if the fight was gonna happen in the USA then maybe he'd have more bragging rights but it's only gonna make serious money PPV wise and will sell more tickets in a bigger venue here in the UK.

Seems to me it's Khan deliberately pricing himself out of this knowing full well Hearn won't buckle - a kind of way to bottle the fight but keep some face if that makes sense

Shame as it's a Brilliant matchup and a fight i'd still love to see.

Hearn speaks out on Khan v Brook: At 70-30, no we won't fight! | World Boxing News

Khan is a complete cunt! He's never wanted the fight and wanting a 70% cut is just a way of squirming out of it.
I couldn't give a flying fuck if it happens or not.

Who are you fellas talking about? One of the names seems familiar, think I heard of this Brooks chap giving 100 reasons he shouldn't have to fight Spence.

Didn't know Khan had demanded 70% - if true then yep , it's him that doesn't want it

Cock

has khan got a point though

yeah he sounds like a bellend saying he is the a side and all of that

but say they both faced opponents of the same standing in their next fights, what kind of money would they both generate?

I dunno, id have to see some figures for the fight and for other options to really decide if kell is getting a good deal or not

Khan generates money because of his weak chin - even in a fight on paper that looks one sided the other guy always has a chance

But his prime days are over

Kell has been stopped once whilst still on his feet with a fucked up eye.

Can't see how anyone can argue this shouldn't be 50-50

in terms of boxing standing/ability/potential yes it deserves 50-50

maybe even more in kell's favour

but khan generates more money, why should he give some of that up? he has fought better fighters and has more fans

and his weak chin does contribute but also his race and his background

if he was fighting a journeyman would he give him half the proceeds?

I know kell is a long way from that, but as you step up the money generating ladder, does kell reach the kind of heights that khan does? therefore should kell only be worth the amount of money he attracts?
