Why in the world is Taylor even talking about Brook considering the early Christmas gift he just had. Wouldn't call that focused. Brook seems to be in the driver's seat and honestly the way Hearn and company throw millions down some holes he would very much be an investment type 'breakout' scalp for young Benn. Guys like Granados, Van Heerden and Broner who must be walking around at 180 right now and brushing the cheeto dust from his beard just doesn't scream "I've arrived". Then again Benn has the top 5 spot to ride now so

Allegedly Khan has requested a rematch, then requested step aside money for Brook to fight, well anyone to be honest. Khan doesn't give a fuck he just wants the money.
I'm assuming Khan has the right to a rematch and has a window in which to demand one. For all concerned the rematch is the best option. Lets forget that anyone is trying to achieve anything other than a hefty retirement fund. The grudge match narrative is gone. It's no longer an event. I'm sure on the crest of a wave Brook probably thinks he might have a title win in him. But unless Charlo fucks off from 154 and his titles become splintered.......and as a result Brook can get a seriously soft touch. It ain't happening is it.
If fighters like Benn or Eubank want to use Brooks name as a spring board then they need to cough up what he wants, or move on to these bigger and better fighters that are apparently falling over themselves to offer their services.

Rematch clauses.....even in fights like this.![]()
Don't bully fat kids - they've got enough on their plate
A part of me is actually loving the fact that Khan is showing his true colours and being a complete prick . Fair play to him, we know he’s a mercenary cunt, but he is exposing what a complete farce the whole fuckin system is .
Brook should call his bluff and accept the rematch. Easy money if it were to happen, but hopefully no promoter will touch it with a barge pole and so the clause would be null and void.

Kell Brook retires from boxing following Amir Khan win as he walks away from potential fights with Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn
Kell Brook has announced that he’s now retired from boxing at the age of 36.
The former IBF welterweight champion finally settled his bitter rivalry with Amir Khan by stopping him back in February, and has decided he does not want to fight on.
Brook told the Telegraph: “I’ve had a long chat with my family and my parents, and it’s over for me. I’ll never box again
“It’s a little emotional to be actually saying this out loud.
“My mam [Julie] is relieved. I think everyone around me is pleased.
“Truth is, boxing is a very very tough, dangerous sport, one in which you can be legally killed in the ring, and I’ve finished now with all my faculties intact.”
Brook continued: “I needed the Khan fight, I needed to settle the grudge, the feud.
“There is no dark feeling left in me now, I think when you have been in the ring with someone it passes, it leaves you.
“Me and Amir said some words which were hateful in the build-up, but that’s what happens in boxing.
“But I respect him after the fight. He showed real heart in there.”
Looking back on his career, Brook said: “It was my dream since I started boxing at the age of nine to be a world champion. It was a special night.
“I’ve been in the ring with Gennady Golovkin, Errol Spence, Terence Crawford, and I finally got my fight with Amir Khan.
“After that, I don’t think I needed to go on anymore.
“I’m one of the lucky boxers who has earned enough not to have to work, but I am going to give something back again, and I’d like to train or manage young fighters.
“I’d just like to be remembered as a fighter who would go in with anyone, feared no one, and who gave the fans what they wanted.”
In retiring, Brook has walked away from potential fights with Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn.
