re: Kell Brook v Errol Spence Jr - 27/5/17 Sheffield UK
Brook has sold out a ten thousand seater arena in Sheffield before fighting mandatories so I'm sure they could do at least double that now. I think he'll definitely do more than twenty and it'll get the massive buildup on Sky and in the media. Spence might not be well known over here but I think any Brit versus "a top American" is a natural ticket seller. There's no doubting Spence's pedigree or his potential and he'll get the big buildup in the media. And the fact it's taking place in a stadium makes it a bigger event and an easier PPV sale.

Regardless, it'll be terrific if it does come off. Brook deserves massive credit, even though he won't get any. Spence is the next best thing before the fight, an overhyped, overrated, untested nobody after it.
Credit to both yeh. Another scenario is Brook getting an 'big respect atta boy' for fighting the best even after Golovkin beating should he lose, and Spence getting well you just jumped on damaged goods who didn't have a proper come back..nutty world of fans out there ;D.
Guy has to prove himself at some point, Spence is stepping forward.

You can always find a downside to every contest but this is a fantastic fight and no bad word should be said about it.

Just trying to look at every angle of the issue buddy boy ;D. Usually by the 5th or 6th year fans are heavily lathered in skepticism following this sport.

Brook has officially confirmed he wants Spence next - Fair play to Brook for wanting to act like a proper champion, defend his title and face a real live opponent.

yeah fair play to him but lets be honest he has been kind of sitting on his belt ever since he beat Porter, which was over 2 years ago, it's good to see him finally making the step up in class, I think he actually took a lot out of the GGG defeat

Brooks done fuck all apart from fight GGG since the Porter fight, considering how stalled his career has been through various dubious injury claims and nearly getting his leg chopped off you'd think he'd now only fight the elite instead of the likes of Gavin, No Show Dan and Bizier who were a trio of utter shite opponents.
Brooks 31 this year ;)

I hope GGG did not take a lot out of Brook.
re: Kell Brook v Errol Spence Jr - 27/5/17 Sheffield UK
Didn't think this fight would happen. Great fight for spence this will be the fight that propels him, spectacular ko don't think brook can win
re: Kell Brook v Errol Spence Jr - 27/5/17 Sheffield UK
Before we all start getting excited...
Kell Brook will get injured in training around early April and then wait round for a Khan fight in August.
We all like brook, but let's get real..anyone would take that kind of money for the GGG fight..the NFL boxer Porter fight could have went either way..
Let's see them actually both at the weigh in before we start sucking each other's dicks.

I actually wouldn't be too surprised at an outcome like that. Brook getting injured late and Spence taking a late replacement then the fight never coming off.
But as for now, I'm stoked for this fight. Spence is so good and will destroy Brook.
My mate ripped the absolute piss out of me the other week when I used the word 'stoked'
No relevance to anything I know, I just thought I'd share that with you.
