Brook: Me vs. Khan is Like Mayweather-Pacquiao - But in Britain
He said: “Of course there are concerns about it. Like, why did it happen twice? When the first one went the other one is going to become weaker, I’ve been told.
“But my surgeon, who’s called Muhammad Ali, has checked me out and says the bones have healed.
“I’ve had titanium plates in both eyes so it’s mended and I’ve been sparring with heavier guys and not had any problems. It’s only a problem when I go through airports at security.
“I hope the Amir Khan fight gets made. We’ve got the same promoter, Eddie Hearn, now and it’s in the promoter and fighters’ interests to make the fight happen. It’s the biggest fight out there for us, it’s like Mayweather-Pacquiao but in Britain.”
Brook, 31, is feeling the benefits of operating at a new weight division.
He said: “It’s a lot more fun, it’s a lot less worrying especially in the back half of the training camp.
“I know I’m going to make weight now whereas before there was not knowing whether I was going to do it. It’s been nice to have been able to eat more this time and worry less.”

I doubt they will be getting $100m each, but it is a big fight, would have been bigger a few years ago.
Re: Brook: Me vs. Khan is Like Mayweather-Pacquiao - But in Britain
More like Mayweather vs Mosley...but in Britain
It's a big fight. It's not the biggest fight. It's not even the biggest fight that could currently take place in Britain.

If he means it's gonna a fairly drab affair, 5 or so years after it should have, he's spot on.
Re: Brook: Me vs. Khan is Like Mayweather-Pacquiao - But in Britain
Another fight that's not happening in time ![[icon_twisted.gif] :twisted:](./images/smilies/icon_twisted.gif)
Re: Brook: Me vs. Khan is Like Mayweather-Pacquiao - But in Britain
Not bothered about fight not now, they are both past best and the interest has gone for me.
They have done well for themselves but both are overrated and neither had the bottle to do the big fight together when it mattered, which is a waste.

Cmon Brook, I'd say it's more like Ali-Frazier or a dream fight that could never happen, like Sugar Ray Leonard vs Ray Robinson or Ali vs Rocky Balboa

Let's see how Kell gets on versus Rabchenko first.

May v Pac was fuckin AIDS and Brook Khan is an Aldi version of May v Pac....... Wouldn't surprise me if one of them got injured or KO'd and we don't see the fight happening.

He's right in one way: Manny & Floyd farted about, prevaricated & circled each other, so by the time they fought, the fight wasn't a defining fight in terms of where they were in there careers.
Brook/Khan also should have happened a few years ago & if they fight now, it just seems like a cash-in fight rather than a defining fight.

It'll be a stadium fight & on PPV.
Brook winning easily against old glass chin.

May Pac was poor because Mayweather controlled it as he did in loads of his fights and coasted to victory without putting himself in any danger. Lets face it, for entertainment Mayweather wasn't a great.
Khan for all his faults makes for pretty entertaining fights. It's still a massive fight.

In a world where Khan Salita, Cleverly Bellew II and Harrison Rogan are PPV, Khan Brook is PPV every single day of the week and twice on a Sunday.Stuarty wrote: ↑04 Mar 2018, 08:40Brook v Khan is decent but PPV?

We can debate whether it should or shouldn't be, but if it happens, it absolutely 100% will without any doubt whatsoever be a PPV fight.

Re: Brook: Me vs. Khan is Like Mayweather-Pacquiao - But in Britain
Those fights mentioned were a while ago. Hearn has learnt since then.. But I agree, there is no doubt this will still be a PPV. Domestically, on paper, it's a huge fight.dirk2686 wrote: ↑04 Mar 2018, 08:53In a world where Khan Salita, Cleverly Bellew II and Harrison Rogan are PPV, Khan Brook is PPV every single day of the week and twice on a Sunday.Stuarty wrote: ↑04 Mar 2018, 08:40Brook v Khan is decent but PPV?

Two of them were promoted by FW to be fair.Ruthless-RKO wrote: ↑04 Mar 2018, 08:56Those fights mentioned were a while ago. Hearn has learnt since then.. But I agree, there is no doubt this will still be a PPV. Domestically, on paper, it's a huge fight.

Ah yes, you're right. Clev-Bellew 1 was also promoted by FW, so technically a rematch was his fault.dirk2686 wrote: ↑04 Mar 2018, 08:58Two of them were promoted by FW to be fair.Ruthless-RKO wrote: ↑04 Mar 2018, 08:56Those fights mentioned were a while ago.

Re: Brook: Me vs. Khan is Like Mayweather-Pacquiao - But in Britain
Course it'll be PPV! It's Hearn and Sky. Every good fight shouldn't automatically be PPV. Personally I don't pay for Sky Sports anymore but I used to pay an absolute fortune and got rid of it because it's not value for money. I'll still probably watch Brook Khan but the undercard will determine whether or not I'll be paying for it.dirk2686 wrote: ↑04 Mar 2018, 08:53In a world where Khan Salita, Cleverly Bellew II and Harrison Rogan are PPV, Khan Brook is PPV every single day of the week and twice on a Sunday.Stuarty wrote: ↑04 Mar 2018, 08:40Brook v Khan is decent but PPV?
