Are you okay with Brook/Rios August 8th?

Damn shame.
It would seem to be a wonderful opportunity to have a fight with mega appeal for UK bragging rights.

Shouldn't they fight each other for the right to face Floyd?

I see Khan's point. He's won 2 world titles and beaten some top guys. Brook has beaten Shawn Porter. Apart from that he hasn't proved himself yet while Khan has fought and beaten some top names and was at one point the top guy at 140. From his point of view he makes more money per fight than Brook, he is more mainstream than Brook and his win record is more reputable. He's chased Floyd for a long time and feels he should have his shot. Brook hasn't really earned it. If they fought, I think Brook takes him, and I think Khan knows there is a distinct possibility of that so why risk it when he is so close to his big money fight with Floyd? I think if Floyd and Manny retire, he will fight Brook.
