    Spence v brook would be a certainty to be on ppv. Its allright saying no ones really heard of spence but by the time sky sell him as the next big thing especially with his highlight reel...it ll do decent numbers. If not you ve got to ask if kells worth a 50/50 split with khan.

    You ve got to remember brook v gavin was pay per view. Theres half decent money on the table for kell for spence i m throwing a couple of mill when alls said and done. Its not khan v brook money but its also not peanuts either especially when you tally up what kell got for previous fights. Apparently brooks purse for porter was 200,000 dollars. Porter got 500,000. Dont think it was ppv across the pond either. Starts to put things into perspective.

    I think khan summed it up with his pic he posted on twitter about career earnings.
    there both on even terms pretty much in terms of numbers of pro fights, 37 brook, 35 khan, but kell is only just peaking / reaching heights of his career, and has earned 7m most of which was earned in the ggg fight
    where as khan as earned over 30m and technically has had less fights.

    Brook hasn't had big fights handed to him on a plate like Khan has had all his career, he's had to work to get where he is.

    Kell Brook's response with Khan laying on the floor with his soul ready to depart to the after life absolutely won that Twitter battle.

    There was no coming back from that for Khan.

    Yes khan had so much financial backing after winning silver through the olympics, he was the uk's golden boy for a considerable amount of time.

    Literally everything was handed to him on a plate.

    However Brook only has himself to blame for having a padded up record. He could have gone outside of Sheffield and fought better tier fighters out in the states earlier in his career.

    Instead he stayed in his comfort zone far too long until his back was against the wall and people began questioning his level of opposition. That's when he started seeking out names like Alexander and Porter.

    Kahn will hopefully be taken to the cleaners when his plastic Micheal Jackson inspired barbie doll wife takes him through divorce proceedings.

    Hearn's latest ifl interview said the meeting on Friday lasted 5 mins. Khan doesn't want to budge at all from 70%.

    judging by 1 of his comments, I get the idea he is trying to achieve what canelo Alvarez earned in the Alvarez-khan fight.

    @EddieHearn 70/30
    You both will make a lot of money. More than your mandatory Errol spence. 50/50 Won't get me near Canelo pay check. Ask AL
