Yeah but he didnt need to sign a rematch clause though, that's the point. He was the mandatory challenger. Obviously there was the risk of it going to a purse bid and Warren winning it but even without a rematch clause, I can't imagine Klitschko and co would have allowed that to happen either.

I think it's silly to put blame on everything and everyone but Kell himself. All these years, a world title, and faced ONE credible name. A name he didn't even clearly beat. I don't get it. Defend your guy at all costs I guess

Lefty,
The rumour around the West is that Khan has done his money in, and needs to get the till roll going again.
No way of knowing but if thats the case he'll surely look at the Brook fight.
After all he thinks it's an easy mission, and will earn him 5 x anything else on offer.

Khan/Brook is still a good fight, but if Brook wins I hope he kicks on pretty sharpish.

Slow start to his career for whatever reasons – then the Porter win and he's calling out Thurman, which gets everyone interested again.

A bad injury and a Gavin fight later and I'm wondering how long he has left at the top of his game; there are tonnes of good fights at 147 and 154.

No way has Khan rinsed all his cash he worth £30m

And his wife's family are even richer

If that's the case what an idiot. Anyway, cheers for the insight mate.

X 2 the guys minted.

It's not money khans after its profile; he wants the big names on his record and let's face it (and I say this also being a big brook fan) who the hell is kel brook in world boxing? Big name in Britain but the best they can put him in the ring with is Jo Jo dan, frankie Gavin, and now a guy Jo Jo dan beat, what is the point?

There is no way in the world that the big names in the welter weight aren't chomping at the bit to get a crack at kel brook. Guys like maidana broner, rios would all happily fight him. These are all winnable fights for brook that would put him on the world stage earning mega money, yet we are fed horse shit fights. It seems like he and Hearn just want to hang around waiting for Khan to give them a payday.

Rios even made a point of saying brook wouldn't sign to fight him.

Eddie will say it sells loads because he will sell his tickets to stubhub instead of fans.

Personally don't think it's that big a fight would be good at Manchester arena though.

On here they were saying that Brook was going to bottle a fight with the absolute beast Shawn Porter. After Brook beat him it was decided that Porter wasn't that good.
Now a poster who joined the forum on Christmas Day claims he's going to bottle Errol Spence.

Still don't know how good Spence is. However I would not be surprised if this happened.

He's not going to take the brook fight this year now. he will have another stay busy fight probably on the undercard of that fight and then fight for the wbc.

if khan wins he wont give brook the payday and if he loses the payday probably wont be there.

That fight is next weekend so Khan won't be fighting.

He needs to get a move on and fit though

Brooks career has been a joke

The IBF are a joke

Bizier fight is a joke

Khans last 2.5 years have been a joke

Hearn is a joke


If only Kell had been the one to retire Rios
