    Eddie hearn talking about the negotiations.

    Khan wants guaranteed 10 million for the Brook fight leaving brook with 2-2.5 million.
    Hearn will give khan 60/40 split to make it happen
     
  2. Deliberately pricing himself out of the fight.

    I don't think Khan actually wants to fight anymore. I also think Brook beats him really badly.

    Sorry but khan's demands are ridiculous. This fight is never gonna happen.

    Just read this whole twitter timeline and khan's laywer wanted 80-20.

    Hearn said he been talking al haymon people and offered 60-40.

    60-40 is more then enough.

    Yes Khan's demands are too far but team Brook need this fight and they will have to give in to it to make thd fight which he should win by KO.

    If Khan turns down a 60/40 split of a £10m+ purse then its nothing short of a duck. End of discussion.

    Do you think they should accept 20%?

    I think hearn and brook were right to say no.

    Kell should be earning more then that.

    Not so much the fact that brook should be earning more. More the fact that Khan has not earned that split, he's a joke.
    Brook has the belt!

    Excuse me,but being an American-just WHO is the Champion in this tussel?I thought Kell held the hammer and leverage in this fight.Does Khan have a better following of fans than Brook or am I missing something here?
    Does not Eddie have any leverage here and why is he allowing Khan to set the rules for this?
    I just don't get it.Please school me in this negotiation.:huh

    Brook is desperate to fight Khan (and knock him out) but Khan keeps setting up all these hoops for Brook to jump through.

    Its a bit like Kovalev-Stevenson, difference is Stevenson actually has a belt, unlike Khan.

    Brook is too risky for Khan, he isn't the big name he wants. Hence he's making it worth his while (money wise) to step in the ring risking a loss to an underdog

    Khan knows the Brook fight will always be there so why would he take it now when he knows if he did and he lost to Brook his credentials in America would be shot to bits.

    If he did fight say a Garcia or Thurman for instance and lost he knows Brook and Hearn would still want a big stadium fight over here.

    Not saying it's right what Khan is doing but you can see his logic.

    Yep I agree. Brook is too risky for Khan as of this moment. I don't think Khan is scared to fight him he is just afraid of the repercussions of losing. If Brook wins a big stadium fight against Khan he instantly becomes relevant in America.

    Khan making it clear he is neither confident of winning this and knowns he is done at top level a bridge to far I'm afraid
