I think what youre failing to consider is that if Khan was to lose badly to Brock his big money boxing career would effectively be over as he would have no ready made excuse to justify the loss. After all, Khan is a welterweight.
However, if Khan loses badly to Canelo then his career isnt necessarily over and he can argue, with some mileage, that he was putting himself at a disadvantage by jumping up a couple of weight divisions. As well as a massive payday, a convincing loss to Canelo will see Khan gain general acclaim for being so brave in taking the fight. A loss to Canelo and the Brook fight will still be there, a loss to Brook and the Canelo fight would be gone foreever.
I think the risk/reward of Brook doesnt suit Khan.
Personally i think Khan is worried about Brook, as he will be of Canelo.
