    Absolutely no chance I'd pay for this.neither of them should be a headlining a ppv card imo.watching their toothless recent fights should tell you all you need to know.

    No money of mine going on this one. Four or five desperately poor rounds between two totally washed up shells.

    Khan last fought in 2019 against Billy Dib. Brook is coming off a schooling from Crawford. They both are incredibly faded fighters and this seems like a cash grab from Hearn.

    If this happens it’ll be in Dubai or similar as no boxing before April. The Sky contract needs renewal around then.

    Yep, ‘cracking’ undercards don’t really happen anymore, and they certainly wouldn’t do on a card like this. It’ll just be full of your usual PPV undercard favourites - Okolie, Benn, Buatsi, Babic, Courtenay etc. in crap fights. Quantity over quality.

    I think the only time you’ll see anything approaching a decent undercard is when Katie Taylor headlines her first PPV and they’ll need something to entice in the people who don’t really care for women’s boxing.

    Still not as bad as Haye vs Bellew. That set the benchmark for farcical PPVs in the UK, this is easy work for Hearn in comparison.

    At 154 he could kind of make a case for it. Brook had a few half-decent wins there and never bothered challenging for a title.

    But it will be 147 (at Khan's insistence) where Brook has been a spent force since the GGG destruction. Utterly pointless fight at that weight.

    I thought Hearn was finished with Brook now after the stuff Brook said about him?

    This is the perfect example of what is wrong with boxing. 2 shot fighters who should have fought at least 5 years ago both now with their hands out asking for their retirement funds.

    Khan will make Brook weigh in at 146 as well just for a further laugh

    Khan-Brook talk is all a bit boring now...

    Ships sailed for me.
