Khan v Brook - weight clause agreed at 147lbs

[GAME]

I'm happy to see both these guys edge closer to a long-awaited meeting. Some may say it's too late.... I don't subscribe to that theory. Neither of them is old nor washed up. Just slightly damaged from ill-fated attempts to fight true middleweights.



Still, happy to see it. I'd favor and root for Brook.

But good on Khan for talking about rehydration limits. Ten pounds sounds a bit limiting, but I'm glad to hear a boxer..... ANY boxer..... talking about something that is truly a sham in professional boxing.

Imagine.... if boxing had a 10-pound rehydration limit, guys like JCC Jr. and Canelo would've never had a successful boxing career. Well..... Canelo anyway.

Khans desperate to drain brook. He's not confident of winning a fair fight so has to come up with these diva demands

Khan himself struggled to make weight last time out, failing the first time then stripping naked to hit 147lbs.

Khan is a prick and Brook is as desperate to get this fight as GGG was with Canelo. For the record, I’m still not convinced the fight will go ahead, this is just another smokescreen.
The weight issue is just as bad for Khan. He never made weight first time for his last fight and it showed in the fight.
If Khan really wanted this fight , he would do a CW of 150lbs. He’s outgrown 147 himself.
As for Brook, do you people really have such short memories? He had to go to LMW because he “physically couldn’t make WW safely anymore!” Then he bowled some guy over at LMW and “put all the World champions at LMW on notice!” What happened to that little master plan ?
I like Brook, but he’s fucking finished and Khan was finished a long time before he was trying to shag Transsexuals!
Finally, you Brits are all a bunch of fucking mugs.Where else in the World would a good domestic dust up like this with NO relevance to the World scene be PPV? come on.
Time and time again this is happening.

The reason this can be a PPV is because Khan is still a massive name it he UK.
His last fight broke the UK record for viewing figures for a subscription (non PPV) fight.
He did well on a prime time reality tv game show about a year ago that gets huge viewing figures so everyone knows who he is be it hard-core fight fans or non fight fans.

That's the way it is now in the UK and Hearn would be a fool not to put this on PPV because it will sell shitloads.

Brooks been on his Instagram in the last 10 minutes saying he'll weigh in at 147 then "eat what he likes"

Brook will eat Khan alive as far as I can see... Aside from the fact that this would’ve been a lucrative domestic thing years ago, does anyone think otherwise? Brook had a couple of tough losses, but those were against guys that may have literally killed Khan in the ring. He looked good in his comeback fight, like he hadn’t lost much. Khan looked like fucking tofu against a bum last time out.

Right, I’m not getting at you Smashy, because I’ve seen this statement banded around from Eddie Hearn.
But i’m Gonna be a wanker and say that I don’t believe him and I think it’s a bare faced fucking lie!
Unless I can see the top 10 all time non ppv subscription fights in order , I refuse to believe this.
Eddie Hearn is a liar, period!

One of the saddest things I’ve ever read. Frankenstein’s monster, who is really the monster the guys mugging the public or the public that begs to be mugged.
