Brook deserves a Mayweather fight over Khan!

[erics44]

I don't think Brook or his people want a Mayweather fight.

Let's face it, he's just won a belt and with the handpicked opponents on home soil that he's likely to face, he'll probably keep that belt for a while and make a lot of money. He's just fought Frankie Gavin for fook sake. He isn't acting like a guy who is interested in cleaning up the division. He'll be protected and avoid credible opponents all the way.

Mayweather beats him if they fight, no question. There's nothing in it for Brook. The payday won't really be that big because it's not that big a fight and he suffers a loss just as the hype around him is building.

It's more likely that he'll be happy to see Floyd retire and will spend a few years fighting stiffs for easy money until a big payday comes his way. Ironically, the biggest fight of Brook's career will probably be against Khan.

a common misunderstanding by boxing fans is that world champions need to fight the best of the best every fight

brook had only fought a few weeks before he fought gavin against his mandatory

and gavin wasnt their first choice

who should brook fight and where should he fight them? i dont think the khan fight isnt happening because of brook

It's not a common misunderstanding at all. It's just a reflection of the joke that is modern boxing.

Brook doesn't have to fight the best in his division because the best in his division have their own worthless "world title" belts that allow them to also fight nobodies for several years. Brook's mandatory was in no way, shape or form the best of the potential challengers in his weight division, so let's not pretend that was a meaningful fight.

He's going to spend the next couple of years fighting bums in his own backyard, hype the shit out of a fight with Khan and make himself a nice big wedge of cash while never really facing a serious challenge at all. I'm sure he would fight Khan tomorrow because he probably genuinely believes he can beat him, but Brook and Hearn don't want any part of someone like Mayweather. He's got far too much to lose.

Just like anybody else, if Brook gets offered the Floyd fight, even in Vegas, He would take it in a heartbeat . The same reasoning applies to every fighter out there.
1. it pays way more than any other imaginable fight.
2. even if he loses , he does Zero damage to his career, his rating or his future earning potential. he probably wouldn't even lose his title if he lost!
it's a major win-win for every fighter out there, that's why they're all queuing up to state their case, and that is why Khan is way down the "deserving" list imo.

looks like rios is next, rios isnt a bum

and if he didnt fight him at home where would he fight him? america? why is that so good?

are you saying brook is fighting bums because he wont fight mayweather?

have you got anything positive to say?

[Fenster]

Brook/Hearn would turndown guaranteed millions to face Floyd in favour of earning low six-figure purses to protect his belt?

You need to rethink that one mate.

Also to get the fight before Khan would be priceless for him.

If Hearn makes a serious attempt to get Mayweather in the ring with Brook I will eat my hat!

Hearn isn't only interested in one big payday, he wants lots of them. If Brook fights Mayweather now he will lose and his future earning potential will take a hit.

They can make plenty of money for years to come without risking the belts. I imagine getting the Khan fight in the UK is their number one priority. It's a massive earner and a fight Brook can win.

Brook and Hearn won't go anywhere near Mayweather.

It is exactly the opposite. He gets a career high purse, US tv exposure and can laugh at Khan. Even in defeat, he wins.

No, it's really not.

Hearn wants consistent easy money over a number of years and a world champion on the books. Sure he'd get a decent payday against Mayweather, but Brook would also lose the fight and his belt. That jeopardises the Khan fight, which is probably the biggest fight out there for Brook.

Brook is probably going to beat Rios and then fight a few stiffs for a year or two before a mega bucks show down with Khan in the UK.

There is absolutely no way he is fighting Mayweather.

Rios isn't a bum, but he's not going to beat Brook and Brook's team know it.

I'm saying that, just like most champions on the planet, Brook will make a number of easy money defences before he risks his unbeaten record and his belt for a big payday against someone who carries a real threat.

That's how boxing works. Make easy defences and keep the money rolling in while slowly building the hype and money-making potential for a fight with one of the division's other top fighters a couple of years down the line.

Have you not noticed this?

i would do exactly the same

brook is fighting rios next

who is a possibility that is more of a challenge that will bring him a deserved pay cheque?

khan doesnt want it, I highly doubt thurman could be made, people talking about spense (what ever he is called) who looks like a good fighter but no-ones heard of him, Pac? mayweather? i highly doubt bradley could be made

so you are saying he is only fighting certain level fighters to hang on to his belt yet realistically he is fighting the best challenge out there that is realistic for him to fight
