I know im gonna get some stick for this from Hearn and Brook fans but I saw the latest Ifilm interview from last night and Eddie was talking about Kell fighting Khan for no title or Broner on PPV. If it's khan, so much for all this crap about it's all about being a world champion. Im sorry but I cant respect that.

I'd be happy with brook fighting Alexander, khan or broner. The world title doesn't matter to me, there all good fights

It makes a mockery of things though as when Senchenko was announced people defended the fight because Kell had his IBF no1 spot and people were saying it would be stupid for Kell to risk that against a Guerrero type when he's got a world title shot coming up. So now he's the mandatory to Alexander now his mandatory position doesnt matter anymore and he'll fight Khan for no title. Just shows what a load of bollocks it all is.

it will all be known in two or three weeks time

The main man Floyd will announce his next opponent in the week that Manny fights Rios

If that man is not khan, it will mean khan and brook will fight six weeks after the Haye fury onpay per view

if khan does get Maywether, brook might try get Broner also on pay per view

Fighting Alexander will be the worst pay for Brook

One fight on pay per view and brook is rich for life

fair play to him for getting in this win-win position

True but dont try and feed people a load of BS about how it's about being a world champion then. If he really fancied his chances against Alexander he could fight Alexander and beat him and become a world champion and then defend his belt against Khan.

Alexander is a good fight obviously, but Broner would be more interesting for me.

Broner isn't a PPV fight here or in the US, it would mean a world title fight though so I'm ok with it, but if it's on PPV I'll keep my money in my pocket.

I think Alexander is a last option he meant. They are trying for Khan or Broner first, Broner has Maidana and I don't think Khan will risk it.

It certainly looks like Alexander isn't his first choice. He sees more money in the Broner or Khan fight clearly.

I have to say though, especially given Khans recent record, that fight isn't half as big as he seems to think it is.

When they've been banging on about this world title and getting in a mandatory position the whole Khan thing makes no sense and is very cynical like SNG said. I understand why they're gunning for Khan but I still dont respect it. Win a world title and then defend it against Khan.

It's about money, he earns more fighting Khan or Broner, is a fight with Broner PPV worthy? I'm not so sure. Anyway best case scenario he fights Broner and clowns him really bad and then fights Khan later in the year and clowns him too.

Na i get that part mate but if they were confident about beating Alexander they could fight him, win the world title and then defend it against Khan when he's most likely coming off a defeat to Mayweather anyway.

Yeah, I think Hearn is concerned about Brook going to the states...what was all the bullshit about Kell did it himself, we normally have people stay with him?? WTF was that all about can he not be trusted while in camp? Does he like a tipple or a box of jaffa cakes?

The part I found more worrying about the latest Ifilm interview is that Eddie said in his Jones rematch that Kell in Eddie's words only got his nut down with a month to go! That doesnt really show a dedicated pro.

Khan & Broner aren't going anywhere. Surely it'd make sense for him to fight for a title, and then go for a big money match?

Then the worth would be even higher? I'd say Brook still isn't greatly known amongst 'casuals'.

Brook-Broner would be in the US, so it would be at 5 in the morning here, so it would absolutely bomb, no one would buy a PPV or watch on normal sky sports because neither are particularly well known here.

Hearn reckons he can get Broner over using the PPV model.

If he has a brain he knows there's no chance of that unless he fancies making a hefty loss on the show. Broner gets million dollar plus paydays in the US and a fight with Kell Brook wouldn't generate anywhere near enough money to pay him what he would want to come over and defend his title.
