Are you okay with Brook/Rios August 8th?

[Batman]

How many times do I have to say "anyone", Rios isn't good. He will make Brook work beating Rios up but at no point will he offer any qualities to trouble Brooke. If I want to watch Brook beat someone up I can watch his sparring. I want to see Brook against a good fighter. Rios is not a good welterweight. Pick Bradley, try Khan again after he doesn't get the Mayweather fight, he'll try for a Mayweather fight, fight Broner if Broner were to beat Porter, maybe Garcia is finally coming up, Ali, literally anyone in the top 10 is better than Rios and a few not in the top 10 at least offer some troubles. Rios is just a punching bag. The Gavin fight is more interesting than Rios.

Or you could just watch Sky Sports 1 on Saturday when he steps in with Funtime Frankie

How do you know that those guys will be willing to face Brook?

We know Khan isn't.

Broner needs a catchweight with Porter, certain Brook couldn't agree to that. Will Broner be prepared to travel to England? Same goes for Bradley and Garcia - would Bradley be prepared to play second fiddle at this stage of his career? Is Garcia moving up? These guys have been on 7-figure purses, they wont be taking a paycut. Lots of intangibles.

Yes, so you don't rush. Those same intangibles will be there in August if they insist on rushing.

I don't know that any are willing, but they should try. I don't wish to see good fighters waste away.

And these conditions are fluid. Khan isn't avoiding Brook because he's scared, he's avoiding because he doesn't want to risk losing something bigger. If Floyd agreed to fight Garcia suddenly a fight with Brook makes sense for Khan. Floyd will be discussing opponents with Showtime in less than a week. Broner needs a catch weight for Porter because Porter offers him nothing other than a payday. Brook has a title to offer. So Brook doesn't have to bend over for Broner. Bradley has never been afraid to fight. Maybe he can get a big fight, maybe he can't but he should try.

It's whatever though, maybe they think this is his level. I just happen to think he's better than his career has shown.

It is PPV box office bollocks.

Not thrilled, mainly because I'm tired of seeing Rios. I'd rather see him fight Guerrero before that.
