Hearn really has treated Kell very badly....

    Not Kell's fault Khan pulled a fast one with Eddie getting paid inflated money for two low level fights.

    Theses an interesting ifl video with Bob arum and also joe Gallagher kinda confirming some of what Kelly says that sky or matchroom want nothing to do with fights or shows unless they getting something out at present

    also they didn’t wanna sanction the Crawford fight or the unification from loma

    Yet they will charge ppv for **** fights for less

    Embarrassing if true. Doesn't bode well for the future.

    Gutted that this is more than likely Kell’s last fight, out in the States with no crowd and no one familiar in his corner.

    I’m hoping he can pull it off, but being honest I just can’t see it.

    Shite that it’s not on Sky, think it’s on FITE? Hopefully not PPV though.

    Hearn has said a few times over the years that dealing with Brooks father was a very frustrating experience..Warren also said he was a pain in the arse.

    If I remember correctly, didn’t Hearn manage to get the best split he could for the Khan fight, but Kell/his father
    turned it down.

    Brook is finished - I don’t blame Eddie for distancing himself from the fight.

    I think it will be shown on Fite TV, almost certain it will actually. In that case of course it will be PPV.

    People going on about Hearn and absolving Kel in all this.
    There’s a reason why he’s got no promoter and no trainer in his corner, those two aren’t working together either so the one common denominator is?

    No. There's one man responsible for this fight never happening and it's not Kell or his dad.

    Khan has directly ducked the Kell Brook at least 4 times, in order to fight no names for less money. When the fight contract was on the table ready to be signed. All Hearn can do is put the contract on the table, if Khan wont sign it he wont sign it.

    Khan has openly lied on TV numerous times about this fight. Khan knows deep down that Brook owns him in the ring.

    Both men are now so old and washed up, that the time for the fight has been and gone.

    Kahan made a career out of ducking Brook, Brook would always have cracked that glass jaw. However khahn goes home with the greater resume and indeed British boxing legacy.

    At this point I’d pick Khan, since Kell Brook is a shot fighter and I will always back against the shot fighter.

    Please. Eddie made him a multi millionaire, what was his resume and earnings like with Frank Warren? He stepped up a little too late in his career, went from a resume of bums to fighting elite level fighters and got found out and was never the same again. This is a business not a charity.
