    Lets just say he earned his shot more than Guerrero, Maidana and Ortiz did. So none of them.

    If he fought Floyd, he wud probably get 3 million up front but he wud demand the lion's share of British ppv money. (500000 buys at £15).
    If he fought brook he wud demand 60-40 in his favour. Wembley stadium + ppv. I don't think there wud be much difference in the two purses .

    Floyd would be the boss in that fight but Khan would be the boss in the Brook fight

    I watched an interview post Saldivia fight and Hearn was saying that he would guarantee Khan 2m for the Brook fight. Now he is offering khan 6-8million. Maybe in the next few years it would be massive if both keep winning that is.

    The bigger picture is that his career earnings would be greater if he were to fight Floyd.

    If he fights Floyd and wins, then he's writing his own cheques for future fights, if he loses but puts in a decent performance then he still remains a big name in the WW division in the states (and still has the brook fight)

    If he fights brook now and loses (hypothetical) then he takes 6-8 mill, but his opportunities / career take a nosedive as do his potential earnings.

    I have to say thinking about it all I think he would make more for fighting Brook. Canelo only got $12 million for fighting Mayweather right? That's only £6-7 million UK, would have to assume Khan would make at least £5 million vs. Brook and probably £3-4 vs Mayweather maybe less looking at what Maidana got.

    I think he definitley earns a more vs. Brook but if he loses that which I think he would, there is no Mayweather fight after whereas if he loses to Brook there is no Mayweather fight after.

    Yes. Floyd will pay him 2-3 million. An arena fight with Brook has the potential to earn much more. Look at what Froch and Groves earned.

    canelo got 5 million dollars ....Khan wont pull in nearly as many PPV buys as canelo so he will get less than 5 million dollars i reckon...he has already been offered 5 million POUNDs to fight Brook and turned it down to earn **** all v Collazo and 950k v Alexander

    Well 6-8 million is without question more than he would get against Mayweather.
