None of the best fighters in the division (that Brook would fight) would be willing to come to England.
I don't see what Khan brings to the table to be honest. He earnt $700k in his last fight, chicken feed. As for Mickey Mouse titles, they're all Mickey Mouse titles nowadays, but they're still titles. WBC and WBA have super champions, emeritus champions, regular champions, interim champions, the WBO isn't much better.
Khan hasn't even got a Micky Mouse title. He hasn't got a promoter, he's got an adviser , who "advises" most of his fighters not to fight by the looks of it. And because Khan has been fighting no marks in the states, I don't even think Khan has that big a fan base in the UK.
I've said it before, when Brook beat Porter, Porter was seen as the next big thing in boxing. Khan hasn't beat anybody better.
Finally, when Khan was a World Champion , he beat Kotelnik for it , who at the time was by far the weakest champ out there. Is that not a bit Micky Mouse?
