Hopefully its not just diversion tactics from Hearn.
Khan has just gone on record stating there have been no negotiations for a summer fight with Brook and that he's mystified by Hearns recent claims.

As I suspected, Hearn is using this as a diversion and also leverage to sell the Bizier fight. Pathetic really by its not him I'm fed up with, its Brook, as he is obviously a willing participant. He talks a big fight but seems happy holding onto his title fighting c listers, sad to see.

Hearn pre booked wembley the summer just gone so I wouldn't read to much in to that. Brook v Khan up north would make more sense. Mitchell v Crolla,Groves v Smith,AJ v Haye could all be on the same card but dunno if it sells 80k and if it makes sense £££ for hearn as all three fightes could be a card on there own

Pair it up with Groves vs Degale and another decentish AJ fight and i think it would go over the 60k.... more than makes it worthwile then

I don't know if boxing at Wembley Stadium in front of 80,000 people will ever happen.

I think you need to have an extremely mega tasty main event with a very decent undercard to get anywhere near the groves froch numbers
Brook Khan isn't this at the moment due mainly to Khan being a twat and Brook a bit non charismatic, it would need a very very juicy undercard with some UK fighters with fan bases, Crolla, AJ, Burns for example to justify Wembley

If he could get Floyd or Manny or GGG then 80,000 no probs

Wembley is too big for this fight, and a pain in the ass to get to as well. Get it at Millennium Stadium instead

Its a well known fact that all Eddie Hearn events sell out within minutes mate :wink:

brook does not sell out Sheffield or either did khan in the last uk fight
I know that when the face each other it would be bigger but I honestly think they have overestimated this fight

Fury is the king now and Aj is hot on his heals

these are the monster fights now
