    Brook/Eddie get around 75% of the wonga if Spence becomes the mandatory and the fight goes to purse bids. Why would they possibly swerve that? They have complete control of negotiations to make a killing.

    The fact that Kell could lose and lose any bargaining power to fight Khan.

    The Khan ship has well and truly sailed, Khan said as much today.
    I'm quite happy with that, fuck Khan. I don't buy this "Khan is so brave because he fought Canelo" bollocks either.
    The money he got, none of the other WW's would've turned down either.
    Khan has showed brilliant business
    sense , but it doesn't make him any better a boxer.

    You are right, kell would not have turned the Canelo fight down but Khan was big enough name to get it offered to him. Brooks needs to make a name for himself and that is going to US or fighting big names.

    I do not think the fight will happen yet.

    Unfortunately, that "bravery" is going to provide him a convenient excuse and he'll ink a few more fights against credible opponents at 147 regardless of his flaws.

    When the aftermath of this last fight blow over, Khan will be back in the mix. The plus side is at this point Khan NEEDS to fight the other top guys at WW to stay relevant. A "comeback fight" against a scrub will serve no purpose.

    His next fight will be against Brook/Thurman/Porter/Garcia/Spence/Pacquiao/Bradley. Somebody out of that bunch.

    What does Khan have to do with it? Spence isn't Brook's mandatory, that fight could be 18 months away.

    The thread was that Brook doesn't deserve Khan. I'm saying fuck Khan, and what Brook should do.

    Why would it make a killing though? Brook has surely made over 75% from the last 3 gimme fights he's had, would this be that much more lucrative or just infinitely more dangerous? Why hasn't Brook fought anyone besides Shawn Porter in 12 years as a pro? I honestly don't get it.

    Spence has Al Haymon/dough behind him and is building a bigger profile all the time. IF he becomes the mandatory to Brook he will be even bigger. However, Brook will be entitled to most of the pot.

    Why hasn't Brook fought anyone besides Shawn Porter in 12 years as a pro? That's a bit harsh. But maybe because everyone ducks him?

    Brook is a risky fight for all of the up and comers. High risk, little reward because he's not well known outside of hardcore boxing fans. Similar to what Winky Wright went through for years.

    Shaping up like Jessie Vargas so far. Not exhilarating but if he's trying to collect trinkets from the bottom up, makes sense or Vargas drops it.
