http://www.boxingfutures.com/news/0823-brook-i-ll-fight-khan-5050-split I want that 50/50 split. So Ill have something waiting for him when he moves up but when that fight happens I think its going to be a huge fight in the UK. Khan might have looked good against [Zab] Judah but Judah wasnt coming back with anything. :-(
Its gonna be another Hatton-Witter situation, With the guy who struggles to sell 1000 tickets in his hometown, asking for equality with a major star
Brook should consider, you know, actually fighting a live opponent before he thinks about winning a world title, cause N'Dou, had losses when he beat Malingaggi, and Brook fight him well after that, so as you can see, he was never that good to begin with(N'Dou)
Compared to most fighters in the UK he is. I'm struggling to think who would sell more (and I'm quite happy for you to name some as I have no figures to hand etc)
Really? Nowhere near sold out the MEN for his fight with Kotelnik I was there, Zab and Maidana didnt sell out either
It was near sell out vs McCloskey i was there, plus Kotelnik fight was a venue change from London close to the fight.
Thats cos the MEN is massive. I'm not saying he sells out everywhere, I'm saying that if you lined up the UK fighters and said 'you are all boxing at the so and so' then Khan would probably get the most followers. My mate went to the Maidana fight and could sit where he wanted and I think there'd be less people there if any other fighter from the UK fought a non-uk publicised south American in Vegas. I suppose Haye would have. Anyway, my point is I know he's no Hatton but he is a big seller in comparison to others.....(until Bellew becomes the champ!)
I'm not for 1 second saying that Kell deserves 50-50 cos he dont. But lets not try and make Khan out to be a star in terms of ticket sales and popularity cos quite frankly he aint. McCloskey brought a load of fans over for that fight as well
