I can see that wanker Khan taking the fight now after that shocker from Brook last night. He'll smell blood. Brook was the worst I've ever seen him. I thought he was getting stopped a few times and was surprised he didn't. If he was in with a puncher he'd have been KO'd. Going by last nights showing Brook is shot...

Everything about last night was shït. I wouldn’t want to perform in sheffield again after that too. Crowd was non existant. Worst Matchroom card this year. Seen better NXTGEN cards.

There was no need for this show. What you reckon Kell get’s paid for this? £200k?

Something like that , whatever he got paid was too much imo

I think Brook Khan is probably a bigger fight crowd and money wise right now. Pac would screw Khan down tight considering Pac is the A side with the belt. Brook Khan is more likely to be a 50/50 split and in front of 80,000 at the 02
They may fit 80k in the o2 if they expand it by like 400%
Take it easy. He ain’t from the UK.

Ha, thanks chaps. I take it Wembley is the one they can pack 70-80K into and not the O2

I fear it won’t reach those lofty heights.

O2 holds 20k
Manchester holds 21k
Wembley Arena holds maybe 15k
Wembley stadium is the big one
Also the Millenium stadium aka Principality.

If Sky can flog Bellew v Haye twice on PPV they won't have much trouble polishing this turd if it ever happens.

I'm not too sure, I'd have bought it a few years ago, not interested now

Yeh. Thing with Bellew-Haye.. the beef started and within a year they had their first fight. We didn’t have to wait long for both fights. The Khan-Brook shît has been going on for 9 years.

Posted: **09 Dec 2018, 18:20**

At this stage I think Brook takes it despite his mediocre performance. I just think he still takes a better shot and Khan at some point decides to stand and trade.

Posted: **09 Dec 2018, 18:40**

After last night's performance by Brook, I personally feel this fight (if it ever happens) is past sell by date.
I would loved to see these two fight a few years ago, but now I feel they are husks of what they were.
The title of this thread- Who Has More in the Tank - is apt, because one of the poll options in hindsight should have been - neither.

What could have been one of the best all British fights of this decade is now going to end up with one guy as fragile as glass, and the other gassed and fatigued. Not what I would ever pay to see.

Also I think Khan has bigger fights out there for his finale, Brook not so much.

I agree. He seems to still be in demand. The funny thing is, Eddie said he would get pretty much double IR fighting Brook than he has been offered for Crawford

He probabky figures he can fight Brook after he loses to Crawford anyway, picking up two very decent paydays

Yeh: I thought this. Brook’s now saying ‘don’t come crawling to me when you lose to Crawford’.. truth is, Brook will still be chasing the fight.. he’s the most desperate fighter out there.

That's how I see it boys. Brook only wants this fight he sees it as his big pay day before he retires. Khans got options and when he finally wants to give Brook his payday brook will still be there no doubt about it

Yes, Brook’s comments that he won’t be waiting around for Khan if he fights Crawford really made me chuckle...

Yeh. He’s literally waited 9 years. It’s probably gonna happen in the next year or so.. even if Brook decides to retire and 2 years later Khan calls him up.. Brook will be in the ring the next day ready to fight.

Hearn has now offered Khan £8m flat fee to take the Brook fight next and as long the revenue of the fight reaches more than £7m, he’ll get a % of the PPV and Gate.

Posted: **10 Dec 2018, 10:38**

Why is Khan so reluctant to take this fight. He has options such as getting knocked out by Crawford, but nothing is paying him like this fight is.

I've been critical of Brook in the past, but would like to see this fight even with them both appearing past their best.

It’s al business. Had Arum not offered Khan he probably would have took the Brook fight now.. but a loss to Crawford doesn’t hurt Khan now than it would if he lost to Brook now.

Khan see’s it as 2 paydays.

Posted: **10 Dec 2018, 10:53**

I've never really been that bothered/interested by the fight. Watching Brook chase relentlessly after Khan like some long lost lover has been boorish to watch aswell.

Khan can't afford a loss to Brook after slagging him off for years and is playing with Brook like a cat with an injured mouse.

I think that comparing Khan vs Brook and Haye vs Bellew is a bit far fetched. Lets be honest, as shit as Di Mori and the other guy were..... read the posts on here. There was not many saying Haye was shot, he'd still only had 1 Heavyweight defeat at that stage. As bad as they were, Haye, even though he looked overweight, hardly put a foot wrong.... people were even calling him a geniune threat to Joshua.

Bellew also, was in the form of his life as a world champion, Again, nobody thought he was shot. However, nobody gave him a shout and I honestly think people bought the first PPV as much as anything to see how Haye looked against his first live(ish) opponent and to make their first true Haye vs Joshua analysis.

Haye vs Bellew 2 sold mainly again because some thought Haye could still possibly do something but also because of the rivalary between the pair in fight 1.

BOTH Khan and Brook though have had heavy defeats and aren't showing their best form of late..... was Crolla vs Burns a PPV, this is a similar fight IMO. Both Khan and Brook have now had 1 really poor performance in the build up against opposition they should be outclassing.

I was only comparing the time it took for their beef to start until their first bell rang. It was all within a year. Neither had tune ups etc or meaningless fights in between. They got in with.

Obviously both Khan and Brook have had defeats since they started their ‘beef’.. so yeh. You’re right. It’s like Burns vs. Crolla at this rate.
