    Confirmed by Hearn on twitter. Brook is getting ridiculous now he should just move up to light middleweight instead of mugging Matchroom and the public off.

    Agreed... he should stop wasting everyone's time.... if he is serious about 147 why is this fight at 152??? Just move up to 154.... he's likely to get KO'd by a lot of the fighters though

    I thought Brook had originally asked for 152 but it was refused. Settled on 150.

    Can't find anywhere online stating the original catchweight now which is odd. Sure it was 150??

    It was originally agreed at 150 because Jones and his team didn't want it at 152. I heard Brook requested again at a later date to have it at 152 and Jones and his team refused again. So obviously in the last week or so some financial agreement has been made with Jones team for them to change their minds and fight at 152.

    Kell Brook is a total hypejob in my view i have honestly never once watched him and thought wow thats an elite level fighter, dont understand why sky hype him so much matchroom have better fighters, a guy who is an elite fighter should not be only scraping past a tough but very ordinary Carson Jones, injuries aside Brook should have fought for a world title 2 years ago what is he 27 hardly that young

    Bet brooks team/eddie new all along he couldn't make 150 but waited until a few weeks to tell carson the fights at 152. Why is this a 10 rounder btw? Is it because Carson got better in the latter rounds? They are doing everything in there power to make it a easy night for kel.
