he was good enough thats what. Mando's should only be given to those with enough ability otherwise you get the complete mismatch we had. I wouldnt fancy Jo Jo to even win a british title if he could let alone be challenging for a world title. I wouldnt even have put a free bet on Jo Jo!
Disagree, no secret maidana has one eye on leaving the game already, so wants a big cash out fight or two
But they never said that at any point for the May 30th show. Not once. They know, as anyone with common sense does, they wouldn't be able to get mega names at 5 weeks notice, in the UK on a show that is not being shown in the USA. As once again, I've told you that Brook was not meant to fight on that show whatsoever until 5 weeks out when the DeGale Dirrell purse bid failed. After Dan, the next time they wanted Kell to fight was mid June vs Khan, but Khan didn't want to fight Brook not the other way round. Being that Khan had rejected, and the June date at Wembley wasn't happening, they planned to have Brook fight later in the year but when Brook took the Gavin fight, he took that AS WELL AS not INSTEAD OF the next fight he planned. And they did make enquiries to Mayweather, Khan, Marquez, Rios, Maidana for fights - and it wasn't Brook who didn't accept those fights. Do you think Brook can just click his fingers and magically make fights happen. Boxing is a business. You need to realise that.
They have both said they like that fight multiple times on video. And yes, their promoters would ignore it. Do you know what risk/reward is. Al Haymon does. He has completely flat out ignored any approach about Khan and in fact the only time Khan even knew what Hearn was offering was when Hearn talked to Khan in person at the Quigg fight
Another lesson in business for you in boxing. Mandatory challengers only get 25% of the split whereas voluntary challengers get whatever they negotiate. Since Brook has been champ Bundu, Khan, Bradley, Porter, Ali and Alexander have all turned down the option to fight for this. To be a mando you have to accept being a significant B side
regarding the duo ppv with klitschko v fury, that's not gonna happen due to fury being co-promoted with frank ******
Sorry i dont believe they made those enquiries, why cos the last fight that we know they defo tried to make with a name (Khan) they couldnt cos Khans teams are ducking and look at the fuss they have kicked up if any of those other fighters you mentioned were ducking and Kell/Hearn really wanted them then we would have heard the same noises but instead they havent made a peep. Rios, Maidana and Marquez would be interested in sitting down for talks for those fights i reckon. Na boxing is an entertainment sport for the fans without it being this it cant be a business no entertainment, no fans means no business. If none of the big names could be agreed then a fight with Algieri should be made as a last resort just cos it makes things interesting and Algieri will travel and be easy to deal with.
Neither have come out and said they WANT to fight each other next NEITHER has both have stated that if the fight was out in front of them then they would be interested but neither has specifically came out and said something along the lines of "gimme Kell Brook, I want Kell Brook" or vice versa.
