    Hearn won't mind the Pacquiao fight. That fight would still do good numbers in the UK

    Yeah its come to something when there's better sparring in the post match maneuvering than in the actual fight..

    I think everyone earns less money in that fight.

    Barring Pacquiao.

    Two damaged eye sockets.

    How long before do you think he is unable to see power punches coming his way?

    Yes less but it still easily sells out and does 400k on ppv.

    That is what happens when bookmakers do not do their homework properly.

    Not yet....

    But keep talking down his eye problem as though it doesn't exist.

    I'm not so sure. I think the mix of Khan and Brook together will generate a lot more than either of those fighters would on their own.

    Whilst I think Manny's lustre has faded along with much of whatever drawing power he possessed, certainly in the UK at least and he'll want far more than he will actually generate in sales.

    Of the two fights its quite clear which one benefits Matchroom. So its funny that Amir wont play ball.

    Did anyone else hear Brook say he'd let Amir play A side?

    Don’t follow them. Was this a fight people thought he could lose?

    If Khan told Brook to go to 145lbs and accept 20%, Brook would have no choice. Stay at 154lbs and get banged or go down and challenge at 147lbs and run into Spence again.
