Yep nailed it yet again

Now the dust has settled does anyone know how much Khan and Brook earned ?

No. They’d have had a guarantee and a % of PPV income.

£5m and £3m.

Can increase depending on PPV’s.

Khan got the bigger share of them too ?

Yeh for sure.

Just seen Khans post fight interview. Really classy. Good sportsmanship.

Was good yeh. Even Kell’s was good as well.

Wasn’t bragging big time or anything.

Yeah, just watched, quite touching. No gloating from Brook at all, nor bitterness from Khan, and a genuine warmth between the two. Incredible really given the buildup

Khan's still a knob, can't forget the homophobic jibes in build up and playing the race card, great to see him take a beating

Disregarding all of that you have to acknowledge his courage and gameness? He's one of our bravest ever fighters.

Absolutely mate he's must see TV and always has been, I do actually like Khan but he's behaved like a weapon in the build up, Brook's got kids, it's not nice night flinging accusations about without merit

Two shot fighters gave a decent account in hopefully their last fight. Khan completely shot and rusty, Brook was made to look better than he was due to Khan being even more shot, very early ref stoppage but Khan wasn't complaining, some of Brook's punches seemed really slow, he should be advised to retire and forget a Eubank Jnr payday, he'd probably get another eye injury.

Hopefully Spence Jnr and Crawford don't leave it too long before they clash, they are both getting on a bit themselves.

This is important.

Everyone saying Brook looked, which is true. But he was in there with a fragile Khan, who clearly didn't want to be in their and a much smaller man.

He probably looked better than he did and Khan helped compliment that.

I think Brook knows deep down that he's not really back and a Eubank Jnr fight would be too much for him. I'm not saying Eubank Jnr is anything special but he would be too much for Brook to cope with I suspect at this stage of his career.

Brook's earned himself another good payday following the Khan win.

He can choose to retire on this or have another, but potentially lose.

If he's gonna have one last fight, it should be around Summer/Autumn..

He shouldn't leave it too late.

If Brook does fight on I’d love to see him go for the 154 belts. I don’t think he will as it’s a tough ask & he can be paid more in a domestic clash on PPV but I’d like to think the chance to become a 2 weight world champion would be motivation to get into the kind of shape he was in against Khan.

At least if he loses it won’t be a stain on his resume. I’d hate to see him lose to someone like Conor Benn.

The Benn fight is definitely winnable for Brook, probably should go that route if he wants another payday.

Watched the fight again. The beating he gave khan was absolutely brilliant

What was the deal with the gloves being changed?

Was that Khan playing games or was Brook trying to put on different gloves to what they agreed on?

Seems like it.
In the end they had matching gloves on.

Entire the fight, was made even more enjoyable by ending the night 725 quid up.

Ideally brook will retire now on a lovely win but if been is okay with a catch-weight at 149/50, I couldn't fault brook for taking him up on the offer. It's a winnable fight for hopefully a lot of money

Quite funny reading that Benn wasn't allowed anywhere near the ring after the fight to challenge Brook etc. Why would you give someone fighting for another promoter and channel any publicity ?
Benn needs a Brook fight not the other way around
