Khan and Brook have agreed to a weight clause where Brook can't put on more than 10lbs on fight day.

I'm happy to see both these guys edge closer to a long-awaited meeting. Some may say it's too late.... I don't subscribe to that theory. Neither of them is old nor washed up. Just slightly damaged from ill-fated attempts to fight true middleweights.
:vd:
Still, happy to see it. I'd favor and root for Brook.
But good on Khan for talking about rehydration limits. Ten pounds sounds a bit limiting, but I'm glad to hear a boxer..... ANY boxer..... talking about something that is truly a sham in professional boxing.
Imagine.... if boxing had a 10-pound rehydration limit, guys like JCC Jr. and Canelo would've never had a successful boxing career. Well..... Canelo anyway.
I am glad that the fight does happen even if it should have happened years ago.
Diva Khan has got his way with the weight hoping he will drain Brook. I hope that Kell is still strong and beats Khan. That will be justice.

Khan himself struggled to make weight last time out, failing the first time then stripping naked to hit 147lbs.
Khan is a prick and Brook is as desperate to get this fight as GGG was with Canelo. For the record, I’m still not convinced the fight will go ahead, this is just another smokescreen.
The weight issue is just as bad for Khan. He never made weight first time for his last fight and it showed in the fight.
If Khan really wanted this fight , he would do a CW of 150lbs. He’s outgrown 147 himself.
As for Brook, do you people really have such short memories? He had to go to LMW because he “physically couldn’t make WW safely anymore!” Then he bowled some guy over at LMW and “put all the World champions at LMW on notice!” What happened to that little master plan ?
I like Brook, but he’s fucking finished and Khan was finished a long time before he was trying to shag Transsexuals!
Finally, you Brits are all a bunch of fucking mugs.Where else in the World would a good domestic dust up like this with NO relevance to the World scene be PPV? come on.
Time and time again this is happening.

That's the way it is now in the UK and Hearn would be a fool not to put this on PPV because it will sell shitloads.
Brooks been on his Instagram in the last 10 minutes saying he'll weigh in at 147 then "eat what he likes"
https://www.instagram.com/p/BouLL0YhAzs/?hl=en
Brook will eat Khan alive as far as I can see... Aside from the fact that this would’ve been a lucrative domestic thing years ago, does anyone think otherwise? Brook had a couple of tough losses, but those were against guys that may have literally killed Khan in the ring. He looked good in his comeback fight, like he hadn’t lost much. Khan looked like fucking tofu against a bum last time out.
Right, I’m not getting at you Smashy, because I’ve seen this statement banded around from Eddie Hearn.Quote:

But i’m Gonna be a wanker and say that I don’t believe him and I think it’s a bare faced fucking lie!
Unless I can see the top 10 all time non ppv subscription fights in order , I refuse to believe this.
Eddie Hearn is a liar, period!
Do you take medication for this?Quote:

So I’ve been trying to search for these figures, because I won’t believe it till I see it with my very own eyes. And then I came across this! @Master, you will love this!;D
https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/...-a8536391.html
So according to Eddie , who saturated the market with shit value less ppv’s, ppv will die because the market is saturated!
I really don’t know how he has the cojones to say this shit and get away with it! I’ve said it before and people ranted like fuck at me, I’m sorry, but Brits are being mugged off when it comes to ppv.
Cue the hatred! ;D

Khan will get knocked out again. Brook can punch and Khan is damaged goods. Brook has been damaged too, but surely Khan has brain damage as well as seen with his recent tranny behavior. The British Dela Hoya in waiting. He will retire and promote Prince Harry or Ed Sheeran or someone like that. Totally lost it and he had a desperately low IQ to begin with. Will be a fun few rounds though. He always starts fast then gets knocked out badly.
I'd have had Khan to win this on points if it was 6-7 years ago and win easily.
On the back of his last showing Brook will just walk through him then put him to sleep.
I was about to say the same.Quote:

Even Khans footwork seemed sluggish against Vargas.
How Eddie has the gall to say this when he has been the biggest instigator of PPV boxing shows in the UK illustrates what a hypocritical cunt he is.Quote:

Master doesn't hate Eddie, between him and Smash they provide more press release promotion flyers than everyone else put together.
Definitely on the Matchroom payroll.
I find it staggering that after all this time and how much we know, fighters, boxing boards, promoters and sanctioning bodies, are all still prepared to entertain the idea of depleting a fighter of one of his natural defences against brain damage, all in the name of a buck.
Just mental.
I'm struggling to decide who the most annoying of these two is. I still slightly prefer Brook but if he keeps up with these too shook for Brook tweets I might change my mind.

Brook should school Amir. It would have been nice had these guys fought Hatton.
Hatton v Khan at light welterweight would have been top draw contest as both dominated the weight and were at their best. Honestly not sure who would win although would be supporting Ricky to land a left hook to the body and head to finish off Khan.Quote:

Hatton would’ve walked through Khan’s pitter patter bollocks, chewed him up and spat him out.Quote:

And before everyone spouts of about Khan’s speed and skill, remember he had loads of problems with Algieri ffs.
That Khan, when he was with Roach, liked a war which would have made the fight exciting. Think Hatton wins because Amir chin may let him down but he could easily cut up Ricky and win.Quote:

Hope you understand I don’t say it in a negative way, just teasing. We all have our things and it’s just fun to acknowledge and tease our preconceptions. Meant purely friendlyQuote:

No worries bro. If put on a polygraph and asked if I have anything against Canelo, I'd say "no" and promptly short circuit the machine.
Still.... it's not entirely a P.R.-Mexican thing. I was a huge fan of both JMM and MAB, two class acts (in my estimation).
Dominated the weight? I have mad respect for Hatton but his other top challengers at the weight were Cotto, Pacquiao and Mayweather. 2 he didn’t fight at the weight. 1 he didn’t fight at all. Floyd he was KOed by at a different weight and Pacquiao KOed him at the weight. That doesn’t seem like dominationQuote:

So the real reason why Khan v Brook is happening is because Manny Pac has chosen Broner as his next opponent.
Khan is ever the bridesmaid.
Amir Khan claims he is close to Terence Crawford title fight, putting Kell Brook plans on backburner
Amir Khan is ready to sign a deal to fight WBO welterweight world champion Terence Crawford – a move which will jeopardise the possibility of a British showdown with long-term rival Kell Brook.
Khan and Brook, who are both signed to Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing, have long been locked in talks over a grudge match in 2019, with a deal between the pair seemingly closer than ever.
Brook must first overcome Michael Zerafa on Saturday night in his second clash since a pair of devastating defeats. He was stopped during a unified middleweight world title fight with Gennady Golovkin in September 2016, before suffering a similar fate at the hands of Errol Spence Jr a year later.
Sky Sports invited Khan to make an appearance in Sheffield in anticipation of Brook beating Zerafa to publicly accelerate talks and interest in the bout, but he declined and has now warned that time is running out for his rival.
“If I fight for a title in the welterweight division with Crawford, that could be a future fight, so you never know,” he told The Independent.
“We’ve had big names on the list. Something is going to be announced within a week, I’ve given everyone deadlines because I need to keep busy. Being out of the ring is not fair on me when I have other options out there.”
“We’re looking at the Brook fight and it’s a big fight as well, probably one of the biggest in my career. We’re looking at Wembley Stadium, maybe Manchester or Birmingham, but I think Wembley would be the ideal location for me. Watching Anthony Joshua fight there…having 90,000 people would be awesome.”
Khan acknowledges that he is now entering the final years of his career and has admitted that he is torn between gifting British boxing fans a fight they have long been demanding – along with a potentially more lucrative purse – or fighting pound-for-pound star Crawford for another shot at the world title.
“This fight would generate in the twenties of millions, it's a big fight if we can sell out Wembley stadium,” he said of a potential meeting with Brook.
“The fight has been talked about for so many years and we can sell Wembley, or maybe do 70,000 which is a lot of money just from the gate alone. Then you've got the pay-per-view market which will be big because recently they've been hitting it on the big fights, so we may get one million buys. I think it is more about a legacy to us. This is a fight that can cement our legacy and show who the best is in our division.

“There are other big options and maybe it came to a stage where I thought the big fights for me are gone, but they’re not. I’ve been offered another big deal with good money to fight against a tougher fighter and a bigger name than Kell Brook, which I was surprised at. I have to look at all avenues. If this makes more sense for me, I’ll take that one, but the British crowd will be upset.”
Khan must decide between Brook (L) and Crawford (Getty)
Any future fight rests on whether Brook can beat Zerafa on Saturday, with Khan admitted he will take time out from his 32nd birthday celebrations to cheer on his nemesis.
https://uk.sports.yahoo.com/news/ami...131800666.html
Move on Kel, Khan knows he is chinny and weaker than you. The only way Khan ever gets in a ring with Brook will be in his last cash out fight.
Crawford is cherry-picking a faded Khan. :(
He should be fighting a prime opponent like Spence or Thurman, or his mandatory.
Brook accuses Khan of 'letting the public down' by not fighting him
https://s.yimg.com/it/api/res/1.2/Te...6642b7d003bd85
Kell Brook has accused Amir Khan of "running away again" and said his domestic rival has "let the public down" by refusing to fight him.
Former IBF world welterweight champion Brook and Khan have long been on a collision course, but a fight has yet to materialise between the warring duo.
Eddie Hearn, who promotes both fighters, said the pair owe it to the fans to settle their differences in ring after Khan defeated Samuel Vargas in September.
This weekend, Brook will fight Michael Zerafa in a WBA world super-welterweight eliminator, while Khan is reportedly close to agreeing a bout with WBO welterweight champion Terence Crawford.
Speaking earlier this week, Khan said he believes the Brook showdown will always be an option, but the Sheffield fighter believes his rival will not face him.
"I would have liked to have announced our fight in the ring and give fans an early Christmas present," he told BBC Sport.
"But it does not look like it will happen. It looks like he has run off again.
"I have done everything in my powers for it to happen. It is him who has let the public down – 100 per cent it's on him.
If the Khan fight does not happen, Brook may target a rematch with Errol Spence Jr, who defeated him for the IBF belt, or WBC strap holder Shawn Porter.
Crawford, Keith Thurman and Danny Garcia are other potential targets and Brook is eyeing the biggest names.
"I am going to go after the big names in America and the fights all the fans want," he added
"I am going to do my thing. I don't need him at all. It's just a tick, a grudge match – the years of bad blood from each other.
"It's not the end of the world and I will move on.
"I am more established at welterweight being world champion. I will be hunting these guys and the weight above at light middleweight."

Khan is past his best but it’s a better fight for Crawford than Collazo is.
