It's a gamble by Matchroom to ensure they are guaranteed number of PPV shows during the year. They also hope that if Brook wins, he become guaranteed PPV
Froch-Groves and Haye-Fury were both scheduled for the MEN and Haye and Fury were reportedly splitting £10m. Khan and Brook would be splitting much less and I'm guessing it would be a stadium fight. It would be a huge fight.

I meant the second Froch-Groves bout. I doubt Carl got even half of $5m for the first one. Haye-Fury would have been a PPV smash. I admit it's a big fight, but not as big as those two. I'm not having a dig, but Kell really isn't that big a name to the general public.
