    I think Errol would come to the UK as it's a smart gamble.

    Hearn wants to hope he doesn't, because if he does, Kell won't get a sniff of a title shot again.

    The money for this fight unfortunately is in the UK as PPV as brook is a PPV fighter for sky TV. So it all depends on Spence. AL haymon is smart and he wouldn't throw Spence in to a fight with brook unless he can come up with a purse to beat what brook or spence would get in the UK. For this reason Spence management will not chase brook as its to risky and they have to concede home advantage as the money be to good to refuse.

    As if Brook would fight a credible opponent these days.

    He did minutes after the fight last night on social media, claims Brook has 10 days to make a decision.

    Trying to swoop in like a vulture I see. Kell wrecks him, but they should fight at 154, I doubt Kell can make 147 anymore, and at this point it would be unhealthy to even attempt it. Brook will drop his title and Spence like a scumbag will claim he's ducking him.

    Kell wont do 147 again not after the bulk he put on for ggg. Also if his eyesocket is broke seriously then hes out for time

    No way is Kell returning to 147, I see him campaigning the rest of his career at 154 now. Spence is a big WW so this fight could easily get made at 154 in the future.

    Spence has said he just wants the title.

    If he wants Kell he can always fight him at 154 if that's where Kell will be fighting from now on.

    This fight isn't happening. I'm of the cynical belief that the 'calculated' jump to 160 for GGG was done to ensure Brook looks like he tried hard but to get him out of there before he got properly punished, then for everyone to say "well he must be fine at 154 then", thus justifying the jump to 154 and avoiding his mandatory. Hearn in the post fight presser said they went to 160 because no one at 147 would fight Brook; he named a handful of names but omitted one...

    Hearn has mentioned Spence before. His said his team have every opportunity to make an offer and never did

    Neither side has seriously wanted this fight, they both know they could lose and the loser's stock will fall.
    Why would they make an offer now and have to split the purse, when they could wait for the IBF to enforce the mandatory and have Brook receive the lion's share? Have Spence's people come in with a good offer?

    Brook will not fight at 147 again. makes no sense. He has put of the bulk, may as well campaign at 154

    That's my point. Brook doesn't need to split the purse but before the mandatory haymon could of tried to make the fight with an offer. An offer never came so where anyone gets 'Brook has avoided Spence' bs I don't know.

    Cmon people stop being silly. Brook would probably kill spence.

    He jumped two weight divisions and was starting to dominate the p4p number 1 before fate struck it's cruel blow.

    The idea spence would cause trouble is laughable.

    Jokers on here lol.
