    Amir is reportedly fighting Crawford for a cool 5mil,

    Eddie claimed he could offer Khan twice that to fight Brook

    Lets be honest he was never, ever going to guarentee Khan that money though!!!

    That money would come from predicted ticket sales and PPV revenue.

    Edward probably fudged the numbers and Khan's team saw right through it.

    Bit like when Eubank fought Benn in the 2nd fight and Benn got paid gross and Eubank got paid net lol.
    Benn thought he was getting the lions share lol

    He would 100% of got more than 5 mil when the fight with Brook was relevant, even now I think he gets more v Brook than he does Crawford blatantly..Kahn couldn't live with Brook knocking him out, he'd rather Crawford do it for less !

    He would of got more but I doubt very much double. hearn’s pretty ****ed now he has the set amount of sky ppv dates to fill and bellew has retired so that’s one ppv fighter down aj will have max two fights next year.

    first against whyte and whyte is now one of his ppv guys when whyte gets ko’d I doubt he will have his comeback fight from a loss as.a ppv event. He’s going to clearly have Callum Smith headline a ppv event but smith has never headlined one before and khan has one fight left on his deal so really he’s going to struggle to fill these events with big selling fights that’s why he’s desperate for these grudge matches like khan brook and chisora whyte.

    Honestly im not from the UK but overall Khan vs Brook is not some super clash. Khan thinks that the Brook fight always will be there for him and is trying to get some other big paydays before that one.

    Meanwhile Brook can try against some of the weak title holders at 154 and when he losses because both Khan and Brook will lose then they can re-build vs some bums in the UK for 1-2 fights and make that fight in the end of their careers.

    Nah. Khan just doesn't want to be KO'd by Brook. Anyone else and he's cool with it.

    I couldn’t care less anymore and at some point I’ve been fans of both,just that both guys have a tendency to be lazy in camp and turn up looking rubbish,something I think happened to both recently despite what they say at the time about feeling great.
    In many respects it shows how desperate Crawford is at Welterweight to find an opponent with a name,seeing as Porter,Garcia,Spence and Thurman are off the menu.
    Where’s the guy who beat up Guerrero,can never remember his name though I do know it’s Spanish sounding?

    kell brook is finished fighter...his heart aint in boxing, glass eyes, glass mind, desperate to fight khan and looked terrible in his last fight....

    if he beats him he will get no credit as brook was finished and if he loses then he was nothing good anyway.... so what is the point?

    go for crawford and chance to show your skills and fight one of the p4p best plus try and win a title

    say what you want the brook fight will always be there, brook cant mix it with the best at 154 and khan would be his biggest pay day
