You need to rethink that one mate.
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.
