If Khan loses, and it's definitely possible he gets timed/chinned again, he has to have at least one rebuilding fight and hope Brook keeps winning in the meantime before he can go for the payday. And he may not get more than 50/50 with another loss. Another loss knocks the fight's PPV/ticket marketablility in Britain too.

The WBC would be fine letting Khan/Garcia both have one fight more before they fight each other. Money talks. Is Khan really going to risk his biggest career payday to fight Garcia for a nettage of around half a million quid? He's not getting any younger, he's obviously after big money fights and as he gets older and his time without a belt gets longer is he really going to keep ignoring the big money fight he can have?
Couldnt disagere more. If Khan wanted a big money fight he could have had the Brook fight. Hes after legacy so definitely wants to avenge Garcia loss. Khan is worth over 30 mil. I dont think the money matters to him that much.
I kinda hear what you're saying hear . Maybe he does want legacy like you say, and that's why he waits on Floyd and Manny and because he's worth a few bob, he won't take fights that he "thinks" are below him.
That doesn't mean he isn't deluded or arrogant. And it doesn't mean everyone should cater to his every whim.
At the end of the day, in this sport, you should have to keep proving yourself and you shouldn't get by on name alone . I know it doesn't always work like that.
I also appreciate that Brook needs to fight some top guys for the same reasons.
