    Brook and Hearn have released a statement saying they want the former to fight in May and then again by the end of summer.

    With no Khan fight and Marquez rumoured to retire because of injury....this all seems feasible?

    Hearn seems to have a quota to fill.

    Rios has been active on Twitter saying he wants it and will travel.

    If Brook/Rios headlines this card, would you mind it being PPV? I wouldn't given the fights already confirmed.

    I would think they would have announced this prior to the tickets being put on sale if hearn planned this. This world title fight rumoured is going to be quigg vs somebody we've never heard of and can't pronounce

    To be honest I would be quite happy to pay for the card as it is, Brook vs Rios top of the bill would take it to a whole new level.

    Brooks a beast.
    He said he wants to fight twice before the end of the summer which is late august-early sept right?

    If he does that then I have the utmost respect for him.
    Big fight on may30th then marquez fight in USA.

    Bradleys been over before and won , so don't see why he would have an issue.

    I think Rios is good value because he is slightly crazy and will provide entertainment but in terms of a competitive fight... well if I'm going to hammer Khan for a potential Algieri fight then I have to give Brook the same treatment for this, it really should be a better opponent.

    That said, at least Brook is willing to fight Khan, Khan is the reason we might see Khan Vs Algieri and Brook Vs Rios.

    I think Rios is a decent opponent. Excellent inside fighter, solid chin and stamina. I honestly think Rios is a better name than Porter. Rios has been in with some solid competition.

    Can see this happening.

    Adding Brook to an already very strong card makes it PPV.

    Rios's pressure would be a nightmare for Kell.

    You have to punch in combos or have bags of speed to keep Rios off - Kell has neither.
