Khan mandatory for WBC

hope Brook moves up.

Why?

I'd like to see him at least try to do something at welterweight first.

You've misinterpreted my post mate, or I didn't write it clearly enough.

Khan's hoping that by avoiding him, he will move up / outgrow 147.

No, I should have read it the way you meant it.

He shouldn't want that though. Brook is a huge payday.

Khan's got enough money and with the way he seems genuinely focused on charity work he doesn't need the bling lifestyle that another few mill could bring him

Maybe in his own mind the money he'll earn from fighting Brook isn't worth the damage to his reputation and ego if he loses

Khan will run the clock down this year , hope Brook moves up.

Doesnt make a lot of sense though that. He's still got other tough opponents in the weight class. The likes of Thurman and co would be no cakewalk for Khan.

Thurman knocks Khan out, he should stay well away from him.

Yeah I'd fancy Thurman over Khan. Brook v Thurman would be a real shoot out.

I think Khan has run out of options. Losing to FM or MP would have been no disgrace and he could have cashed out. Now that chin has to meet some serious power for comparative chump change, and he really doesn't want the ignominy of another brutal KO.

Which is probably why he was so desperate for the big payday against the p4p kings. Less chance of a painful KO, no chame in the defeat and a massive payday.
As you say, his only big money options are risky ones
