    It still means a lot. Great fight. I'm glad it's finally happening. It will be high drama.

    It doesn't mean anything

    If Brook beats Khan he'll claim he was always better and vice versa

    which is not true.

    First grudge match that needs a wheelchair accessible stadium so the fighters can make it to the ring

    At this point no one really gives a **** about this fight. The winner gets crowned “the best of the washed up fighter. “

    At this point, it really comes down to who is the least shot of the two.

    An example why high profile fights stay in the oven for later. Its always a dependable payday down the line if things dont work out in the present.

    Not likely Khan signs, he's never fancied it and his confidence must be lower than ever with such a long time out of the ring. But if it does get made I expect the anticipation will build as the fight draws closer and you get them at a press conference etc. Nothing sells a fight like real hatred, the kind these two have for each other is very real and appealing to the casuals!

    Will be high drama but I'll watch it out of pure curiosity.
    Imagine if this fight happened 7+ years ago, would have been an incredible fight then.

    Now both guys are shopworn and shot to bits.

    Wait till fight week. Khan and Brook fans have been rivals for a long long time. We've seen a ton of heated arguments over the years as far as who was better and who would win if they fought. Now granted both are no longer prime but they've arguably both declined so it makes it still just as even and unpredictable as it ever was.

    Yes... Still means nothing in the grand scheme of things today unfortunately

    Would have made a ton of cash years back

    If they really wanted to sell this fight, put Rios vs Ortiz on the undercard.

    Khan ducks this fight in his sleep. Wont believe it till khan signs on the dotted line.
