    No, I get what you're trying to say.

    But it's bull**** mate.

    Khan is worth millions. Brook isn't.

    You don't become a multi millionaire by giving tickets away for free.

    Despite Khan boasting that he'd outsold Kell Brook is in his hometown, tickets for Khan-Diaz in Sheffield proved hard to sell. Do you not accept that lots of free tickets were given away to swell the crowd? And the same for Khan-Alexander?

    Do you have a source to prove that Showtime want Kell?

    So Pacs and Floyds lower weight fights are not relevant today, for making them who they are today?

    Don't need one, they showed his last fight against Jo Jo Dan, so clearly they are interested.

    i have been to Sheffield arena to watch both Khan and Brook and the place was like chalk and cheese ...it was absolutely electric for Brook and rammed to the rafters and for the Khan fight the highlight was someone throwing one of Khans fans drum away in the half empty arena....

    i heard in USA they literally cant give Khans tickets away and they also had to pump in 'atmosphere' over the speakers ...he has a very very small actual following ,he may have millions of muslim brothers but he has very little paying support ,home or away...

    Khan isn't wrong. Kell's spent a long time seemingly being the next big thing while only having ever had maybe one big victory.

    However, if Khan's not facing an elite fighter then Kell is the next level which he should be fighting until Pac or Floyd come a knocking.

    The reality is they are both playing the crowd like Quigg-Frampton, Pac-Floyd etc. They know the longer they leave it, the more the people clamour.

    Why do Kell Brook fans try to always disrespect Khans CV its a total joke. He hardly has a world class CV himself and personally I believe Khan has faced the better fighters across the weights. If certain posters can't see that then unfortunately they are wearing rose tinted glasses.

    Brook won't admit it or his fans but in the back of his mind he is a little jealous of khan

    People forget that Khan is one of the few fighters that we have (Haye, Froch etc) that is cut from a different cloth and his record is on a completely different level to the domestic fighters that they are constantly linked with. Give or take a fight we would have liked to see them in these guys stepped up a long time ago and stayed at that level since.

    He had a decent record at LWW, but since 2010 against Maidana he hasn't beaten anyone as good as Porter
