    The fight will probably go to purse bid. Does Haymon dig deep into his pockets? Or does Spence travel?

    Seems a big risk to go back to 147 after the Golovkin weight, if Brook does then fair play, especially for Spence.

    Bet they vacate.
    How does purse bids work chief?

    Bids are accepted by any promoters. The highest bid wins the rights to stage the fight. The champion 'Brook' gets 75% and the challenger 'Spence' gets 25%.

    Spence is 100% willing to come to the UK and fight

    Undefeated Olympian Errol Spence (21-0, 18 KOs) has no problem traveling over to the UK for his mandatory showdown with IBF welterweight champion Kell Brook, according to Spence's head trainer Derrick James.
    Brook's promoter, Eddie Hearn, has placed his focus on making a deal with Spence and ongoing negotiations to fight Amir Khan had broken down over the financial terms.
    But Hearn openly admits that he would rather have Brook drop the title and move up to the junior middleweight limit of 154-pounds - as Brook strains his body to get down to the welterweight limit.

    There is a purse bid scheduled for February 7th. Because of the 75-25 split in Brook's favor, Hearn is confident of gaining the home court advantage and bringing Spence over to the UK - which is fine with the challenger.
    According to Hearn, there is a 70-80% chance that Spence will be the next fight for Brook - who as of this past weekend remained firm on the idea of following through with his mandatory defense. A meeting between Hearn and Brook is scheduled for tomorrow, when a final decision will be made.
    "That's good to hear (about the chance of a Spence-Brook fight) but he hasn't really got a choice," James exclusively told Sky Sports. "We've heard about that fight [Khan], but we're not concerned with that because Eddie Hearn does say a lot of different things.
    "Kell Brook wanted to fight Khan and be champion, but if he wants to stay champion, he's got to fight Errol. We're happy about it. We've worked a long time to get where we are and the outcome has made us happy. I can tell you, it's going to be a pretty good fight. We're expecting it to happen in the next three or four months and fighting in the UK is not a problem at all."
    James watched Brook's last fight, but he wasn't overly impressed with what he saw. Brook moved up to by two divisions, to middleweight, to challenge WBA, IBO, IBF, WBC world champion Gennady Golovkin and was stopped in the fifth round. Brook started off very well, but faded due to a fractured orbital bone that came about in the second or third round.
    James expects his boxer to shine in the contest, despite Brook appearing to be a step up in class when compared to the competition that Spence has faced thus far.
    "On paper it might look like a big step up for Errol, but so far I have only watched one of his [Brook] fights against Triple G, and he looked a pretty good fighter but he certainly ain't phenomenal," James added.
    "It just so happens that [Spence] is the No 1 in the IBF and it's not so much about the fighters, it's about the belt. If it was someone else, we would be talking about someone else. We've got nothing against Kell Brook, Kell Brook's just got something he wants to get. I think he's a good fighter, but I wasn't super impressed, thinking 'oh my god, he's amazing'.
    "He's earned everything he's got, but he is going to need to go in there and do what he does best, because Errol is going to do what he does best, and what he needs to become a champion."

    Hearn should be very confident of winning the purse bid as I don't see Haymon put up a bunch only to have 75% of it go to Brook. I'll be impressed further with Spence if he decides to travel.

    Eddie Hearns starting to piss me off by now saying that Spence (Big Punching/Live Mandatory) isn't a big enough fight for Brook but didn't moan once when Brook fought 3 utter dog shit opponents back to back in No Show Dan, Frankie Gavin and Kevin Bizier.
    Infact All Hearns done for Brook since he narrowly beat Porter is cash in and get him a smashed eye socket/beating off Golovkin.

    He clearly see's Spence as a real threat to his cash cow and seems to be doing all he can to talk him out of it.

    Brook is the fucking Champion and wants to defend his title so let him act like a Champion and defend it.

    Unless Brook has told him to say that so he can avoid Spencer and let him take the blame. I am sure Eddie does not mind being portrayed the bad guy.

    I will only buy the excuse that a fight isn't big enough if the fighter fights only the absolute best competition every fight.

    Spence is literally the best welterweight he could fight. If not Spence, then who would be the better option at welter? The answer is there is no better option.

    Hearn didn't say the fight isn't big enough, that is a well known trolls article. I give up dumping his links because you cunts never stop falling for it

    Maybe, maybe not. If they can make
    Bellew PPV......TWICE, then they probably can make it PPV.
    But he won't earn what he did against GGG or what he could earn against Khan , Pac, Canelo even.

    Purse bids pushed back a week by mutual consent. The party line is they're close to reaching a deal. That deal might just be that Brook slides into Kirklands shoes and Spence gets an absolute gimme for the title.

    Khan v Cotto and Spence fights for the vacant title? Horrible.
