    :lol: Jesus Christ, you need to remove your head from Khans ****.

    I for one favour Khan to beat Brook, however would like to see Brook come through it with his hand raised.

    You cannot slag Brook's win against Porter off, he was the underdog going into that fight, went into the reigning champions back yard and came out the victor.

    Porter was found out against Diaz you say??? Could the same not be said for Khan who was put on his **** by Diaz?

    Khan is reluctant to give Kell a pay day you say??? Well if that's the case, he best buck his ideas up because he's been snubbed by both Mayweather & Pacquaio so Brook is the BIGGEST pay day out there for Khan.

    I rate Khan as a fighter, he has talent and ***** of steel. People like to take the **** because in there eyes that he got the silver spoon treatment after doing well in the Olympics as a young man yet has been put in his back side numerous times + knocked out twice. Yeah he is a bit chinny, but so what?! For years he's been fighting at world level and has won world titles - 95% of the time his fights are entertaining also.

    The fact that after getting knocked out by Prescott as a young lad, getting ridiculed for it etc he faced the media straight away, took it on the chin (no pun intended) then went on to win a world title less than 12 months later shows what a strong character he is and that deserves credit.

    Brook likewise, he didn't have the same amateur pedigree as Khan (in that he didn't go to the Olympics etc), so as well as not gaining that experience he also didn't turn pro with the big name. He's worked his way up from the bottom with no favours & learned as he went along.

    How has Brook conned the public off the back of Khan? Khan is the big name in the division, Kell's always been coming up through the ranks behind him - but is the next biggest talent to compare to him, so naturally he is going to talk up a domestic fight... it's a no brainer :lol:

    Both fighters deserve credit, but Khan did say that if Brook wins a world title then he'll get the fight on. He can't now start moving the goal posts - it's the biggest fight out there for him, it's a massive fight for the UK, a world title's on the line... get the fight made and stop fannying around.

    The reason I am slagging the fight of is because Brook/Hearn thought it was a masterclass, but in reality it was far from that, it was a close fight, even his friend Rhodes had Porter winning in the studio. Sure he won it in his backyard, but what has Khan been doing for the last 5 years, hes been fighting them in their backyard so I don't appreciate Brook slagging him of whilst fighting the likes of Saldivia, Robbles and Senchenko in Sheffield.

    Yeah they snubbed Khan for each other and they would do that to any other opponent also. But after the fight in May, they are both going to likely to want to fight Khan as he was their second option, so Khan is still in contention to fight the winner. It was never about payday for Khan, otherwise he would sign to fight Brook from day 1 because he isn't getting nowhere near the same to fight Pac/Floyd.

    Brook wasn't good enough for the olympics, but thats no excuse not to fight solid competitive opponents to make a name for yourself is it? In fact thats exactly what he should have been doing to make his name, but instead he did the opposite. You get what you usually deserve most of the time and Brook fought bums after bums leading up to the Porter fight hence I don't rate him still.

    The reason I say con is because he wasn't getting the attention fighting nobodies so he used Khans name to build up his name within the UK whilst fighting terrible opposition.

    Kell deserves credit for the win vs Porter but thats about it. He has a long way to go and to ask for 50-50 split of 4million when you earned 126k vs Porter is extremely unrealistic. Its only a massive fight within the UK and not the world, Khan vs Broner, Cotto, Marquez, Bradley is a massive fight within the UK and America etc.

    Khan said he'll fight Brook so its not like he refused it totally in the future, let them do their own thing and meet next year in Wembley, there is no hurry. It just reeks of desperation by Hearn and Brook continuously asking for the Khan fight, they seem to want to cash out before taking risk against a big name. How many times does Khan have to say we'll fight end of year or next year for them to realise that its not happening this summer? They haven't even had talks its just stupid. Atleast khans been in talks with both pac and mayweather, signed the contract etc.

    Why meet next year at Wembley?

    Strike while the irons hot. The match-up is big right now, Khan is coming off the back of two good performances and Brook holds a world title. Any slip up between now and then could damage the chances of it coming off.

    Pacquiao & Mayweather are facing one another in May, fight Brook in the summer. If he believes he's better than Brook, he should win the fight, get a good pay day and then bring even more bargaining power to the table should he get the chance to face Pac or Floyd.

    The turn over time is too small thats why, its not even feasible in my opinion, deep down if Hearn actually has a brain he would agree. You can't recover within a few weeks if its a tough fight. What happens if brook gets a bad cut or an injury? This is risky for Khan, he doesn't want to fight once this year. Look I am not against the fight at all I would look forward to it, but you have to be realistic about the time frame and risk of the outcome of Brooks next fight. The fight requires a few months of promotion and planning to get the best out of it, 2 months is simply not enough for anything. The negotiations alone could take a month, especially if they're banging on about having the upper hand and wanting 50-50.

    All he has to do is wait 2 weeks, if Brook comes through unscathed as expected then the fight is there to be made. If not, then fair enough hold off as like you said he'll want to get more than one fight in this year + he has Ramadan to contend with which rules September out.

    If Brook comes through on the 28th without any bother and the fight was to be made for July, you have April/May/June to agree, build and train for the fight. That's enough time.

    Then he can get himself back out in November/December should he wish too.

    Eddie has booked Wembley for June. If Khan does not sign he will lose his deposit I believe which is a huge amount of money. Not only that, Sky will lose confidence in him also.

    It is ironic. My colleague was willing to offer £1m to Matchroom for a multi year sponsorship deal and Matchroom did not even reply to his emails.

    Now he is about to sponsor a Formula One team which will give him global exposure.

    RING magazine ranks welterweights :

    Champion : Mayweather
    1. Pacquiao
    2. Brook
    3. Khan


    It's pretty obvious Khan should be wanting to fight Brook now.

    Your making that many excuses for him that you've brought Ramadan forward. Your previous excuse for him not fighting at Wembley on 13 June was your worry that Hearn didn't have long enough to promote it. :patsch

    Khan boxes him and wins every round taking an easy decision. Then we can move on.
