    Would Cotto want to fight somebody he has to pay a proper chunk of change to, who could easily end up beating him and who isn't very well known in America when he can have an exciting looking fight against somebody well known, cheap and much easier to beat and look good against to line him up for another big PPV fight?

    I don't buy any of this Bullshit regarding Brook... " should he shouldn't he" if he physically can't safely make weight then fair enough But he's publicly stated he can and that he wants to defend his title... and so he should like a Champion should do.
    Eddie Hearn knows full well it's a genuine 50-50 fight and wants to keep his little cash cow safe a little longer.
    I actually have Spence as favourite and see him beating Brook.

    Only Khan can save me

    [FONT=Lato]"The only way we would not do it is if Khan comes about, but he wants a tune-up fight first. A fight with Spence is the firm favorite and I’d hope to make it in the next week."

    Bottom Line is it's a brilliant fight and needs to happen

    Why would Cotto have to put his hand in his pocket? Realistically where is Cottos big PPV coming from and is it going to match the kind of money Eddie will chuck his way for coming over here to fight Brook?

    With Khan out the picture Cotto at 154 is Eddies preference for sure. It's probably Brooks too but that leaves a bit of a sting ditching his belt.

    I'm not sure I get all the hype for Errol Spence Jr. because his biggest win is against a worn Chris Algerie? If Kell Brook can still make 147 safely I think he should target Spence and I'd favor Kell to win that fight and Brook should get the lion's share of the purse too.....

    Hmm. I think Brook is more technically sound but I think Spence is far more explosive. Also, and I can't find the word to describe it, but Spence has a scary quality to him. It's almost as if he becomes a sociopathic punishing machine with no conscience and will only be stopped when the ref stops it. Very scary. Like Crawford, he has a real mean streak, but his is more understated than Crawford's. It's like once a button is pressed he becomes a monster. Poor Algieri found that out.

    I don't think there's any chance Cotto fights outside of America.

    It is funny watching Eddie's face as he is interviewed confirming the Brook V Spence fight. He looks sad. 😃

    Hasn't Spence said he's totally open to travel? This would be a super-fight must see but still think Brook needs a get back fight prior.

    Brook unfortunately doesn't really have a choice. It's either move up and vacate or fight Spence.

    From everything I've seen it looks like it's close to a done deal.

    I will give big props to Brook if he takes this fight though. Very dangerous and honestly I don't think he wins it. And big props to Spence if he goes to Brooks backyard to fight him. Most fighters pushed this hard seem to become divas and won't fight outside of their comfort zone.

    Is Brook-Spence really a stadium fight (30,000 tickets)? Spence is a hardcore/nerds favourite but a nobody to the casual fan (who are the majority ticket buyers). Also it'll be happening bang on the back of Haye-Bellew/AJ-Wlad (over 100,000 tickets gone plus back-to-back PPVs).

    Regardless, it'll be terrific if it does come off. Brook deserves massive credit, even though he won't get any. Spence is the next best thing before the fight, an overhyped, overrated, untested nobody after it.
