Paulie is not considering one thing, Brook tried to make the business decision several times but everyone turned him down. So techinically this is the right business and boxing decision. Think about it if Brook wins he would of beaten America's best prospect, he would leave Khan in a very bad position and he could make the Garcia/Thurman winner a offer of unifying all 3 belts. That's a strong position to be in.
Khan said no already, he said fight Spence and bring the title to our fight. Unless Brook would accept a 70-30 split?
I think that's the only question about Spence how will he react to a world class fighter hitting him back. But Brook has a lot of question marks at the moment too, how's the eye recovered, how's he's mental state from losing his 0, how's he gunna feel squeezing down to 147 again against a very good body puncher. I can't wait this actually my most anticipated fight this year.
I don't know if I fully agree people gave Brook **** because his best fight to date is Porter, he's been feasting on the jo Jo dans of the world even when harder challenges didn't have fights. As soon as a decent mandatory shows up he wants to fight everyone else first. It was strange and felt as if he was ducking his first real mandatory. I give credit to Brook for fighting GGG when he didn't have to but I also know what that was a fcking money grab.
Yes I know. I am not saying the Khan fight is still an option, I am saying that was the only fight which would of derailed the spence fight and the only fight Team Brook was negotiating rather than Spence simply because it was much more lucrative.
If his promoter never tried to make fights vs. other fighters I would agree but they tried to get Pacquio, Cotto, Bradley, Garcia, Khan. Brook has been an avoided man at 147lbs.
Loool Vargas was ready to fight him in a unification and Brook turned him down at the last second. If he had taken that fight Brook would have two belts right now and maybe a fight with Pacquaio lined up.
Just curious because it matters are you talking about when Spence was he tried to make those fights or you talkin when he was feasting on the jo jo fans of the world.
yea in this day in age fightin a guy like spence . who hasnt been put through the ringer hes fresh . hes a bully . he dominants guys. brook just lost biggest fight of career should be taken a tune up . should be makin sure his eye is ok. coulda went to 154 tested the waters out there by takin tune up which would of been smart choice, but i give him credit for all that and most importantly hes giving the fans a great match up which alot of these guys fail to do. this should translate to a great epic fight
and also spence should be happy kell is get all this credit. brook is gettin credit because hes fight a flippin animal in you errol spence thats why hes gettin credit. why are you sayin hes getting too much credit?? its a compliment to you! its almost like spence is sayin you guys are hypin me up he shouldnt get this much credit for fighting me im not that good. come on brook gettin credit because hes fightin beyond a serious threat. spence could be one of the best or he could not be its up in the air but his potential is sky high. hes still learning n could still lose a fight here n there like everyone else but this guy a monster
