    Khan is just saving face with this one. That's all.

    I have always suspected that you are a nonce.

    I think Khan is just wanting to hold Brook to ransom to screw more money from him. I think he is bluffing the rematch to try and get a pay off.

    Khan having the last laugh and a few bob to step aside. No way he wants the fight, nor does it sell.

    Fat Frank Smith doing an interview the other day saying ‘good to see Warren doing a big show for once’ expecting the interviewer to laugh and he never.

    Hearn doing a Pinocchio gesture when talking about it selling 90k whilst Bellew was in hysterics.

    And this will be Matchroom's undoing in the UK - hubris.

    Minus their Sky deal, this chatter is limited to YouTube videos that almost nobody sees. Previously they could have fly digs here and there about putting on the big shows, the best fights, etc; but it remains to be seen - outside of Canelo and AJ - if they will ever do a show like Froch-Groves again. Conor Benn certainly isn't it.

    300k UK subscribers which will probably go down once the price goes up and PPV comes in whilst Taylor Catterall did 900k viewers. Eubank did over a million whilst Khan Brook sold over 500k.

    British viewers want British fights. Yes Chocolatito v Martinez is a great fight but I’d be surprised if any more than a thousand got up to watch it from the UK.

    Fat Frank Smith has some nerve laughing at Warren and poking at him. How he's worked his way up to be CEO of Matchroom Boxing is beyond me. He has nothing going in between his ears and in between copying Eddie Hearn and being ordered about by Eubank Jr's sister, I don't know how he gets any work done. He's one that's jumped on the gravy train of boxing and got far too big for his boots. He belongs on the shop floor of a naff menswear store.

    As for Bellew. I think the whole world and his dog knows how much a desperate, boring, two bob arselicking hypocrite he is. He's a joke figure amongst everyone.

    True but the fights aren't only going to be shown in the UK. Matchroom are expanding and signing more fighters form outside the UK/Europe and only time will tell whether it has been a bold and brave, or a stupid, move.

    Bellew is the most insufferable person in British boxing. Makes Conor Benn seem likeable.

    Moans about fighters not fighting this person and that person but he paid Breidis step aside money (and a place on the undercard) to fight a voluntary in Flores then vacated.

    Makes no sense. He was convincingly beaten in the first fight. He'll just be doing it for the money.

    Holding the clause as a step aside payment option

    Smart really
