    Khan deserves 55%-60% since he's been hanging near the top for a bit longer and was ranked as high as #5 p4p whereas Brook never got higher than #7.

    Khan need to have a quiet word with himself, 70-30 is not reasonable, Khan is quickly becoming irrelevant in the 147 division, he needs this fight with Brook as much as Brook needs it himself, 50-50 is fair IMO.

    I hope Brook can land the Pacquiao fight now just for the devastating look on Khans face.

    That was then, this is now. Khan hasn't been truly relevant at the highest level for years now, save a semi cash-out against Canelo. Brook's profile has never been higher, but I agree, this is because it has been low for most of his career. But Brook is on the way up and Khan is on the way down and 50/50 seems a fair meeting point...

    Yeah, Brook should move on from Khan now. No one would think that was a swerve and it might make Khan act more reasonably because in the end, Brook is his biggest pay day just like Khan is Brook's, apart from fighting Manny...

    It is his biggest payday, however khan can afford to avoid Brook, financially. This is why he is messing Brook around.

    I agree Brook needs to move on from this as it's been made patently clear that Khan wants nothing to do with him.

    What actually riles me up the most is the blatant lying and spin Khan uses in order to try and paint a better picture of himself.

    Looking at Twitter it seems people have stopped buying into his BS, we've reached Khan's tipping point and he's seen as a joke fighter now. Not a good move if he's planning a 'big' fight with Vargas at the Reebok. Might be on Dave that... lol

    Meet in the middle, 60-40
    (which I reckon Hearn and Brook would have reluctantly tried just to get it done)

    I'd have happily taken 40% to retire this c.unt once and for all. Even have it at the Reebok stadium as he wanted to embarrass him in front of his own.

    Brook would have no doubt whatsoever floored him heavily.

    It's never a one way thing; there's always two sides to the story. Kell thinks the fight is 50-50 whereas Khan does not.

    It's probably a big win for Kell and Khan is on the way down whereas Kell is just coming on to the world stage (after years of easy fights against bums) so just take the 70-30 split and get the potential win against Khan to put yourself in a very strong bargaining position against other welters and LMW contenders.

    The longer Kell sits around doing nothing it's detrimental to his career. Khan also does not need the money, and could retire tomorrow and give zero f*cks what the public thinks of him.

    Its a duck. Plain and simple he has made excuse after excuse to not make the fight.

    Nobody can stick up for a man who hasnt had a word title for nearly 4 years

    Brook's response:

    Although Brook's response is funny, there's no shame in getting KO'd by an elite MW, and Khan wasn't hospitalised, requiring surgery like Brook did when he fought an elite MW.

    Brook giving into to such demands would be embarrassing. How does the world champion in a fight many consider 50/50 or even Brook as favourite take 30%.

    Amir Khan is not that big of a star in the UK. His not the one who sells all the tickets or the PPV's for this fight so why should he get 70%?

    Great response from Brook!!!

    Khan may not of went hospital but his forever a highlight reel on boxing's brutal Knockouts. Kell Brook never got layed out like that. Khan is sleeping!!!
