Hearn explains why he doesn’t want to match Kell Brook against Keith Thurman

Absolutely. Thurman V Brook would be a great fight, Hearn knows this. He would be a pretty **** promoter if he threw them both in together now when in 12 months it could be worth millions.

I would love to see them fight, but Im a boxing fan.

 

I don't think you get his fair, and thought out comments.

You are Kel brook.

You have the option of making more money vs Khan, with a better chance of winning the fight.

Or you can face Thurman. A tougher fight, for less money.

No brainer.

 

The rumors of Josesito Lopez are... meh.

 

Josesito Lopez would probably do a better job than Porter.

 

Thurman should fight Porter or Alexander.

 

Running scared, Thurman would shatter these Brit glassjaws.

 

hearn wouldn't be doing his job if he was to make brook fight thurman at this time.

like i said again, brook will and he should fight a patsy in england, look good doing so and wait for pac and mayweather's offer for spring of next year.

 

Boxing promoter looking to maximise profit. Shock. ****ing. Horror.

 

American hype jobs need to get in line. The UK demand The Special One vs. King Khan

 

That's what you said Porter would do? :think

 

I'm very keen to see a Brook/Thurman bout but have to admit that I'd like to see Khan disposed of by Brook first.

It would provide a triple benefit in removing the divisional distraction (Khan); Increasing Brook's stock/notoriety - thus making the fight with Thurman a more attractive/valuable proposition.

I doubt we would ever see a Khan/Thurman bout (even if Khan did face and beat Brook).

 

Thurman is a tough fight for Brook, which is why Hearn isn't going to jeopardize the Khan fight by making it next.

Thurman doesn't bring any money to the table, so Kell isn't exactly going to be rolling in it afterwards is he. plus, Thurman would be called a hype job and they'd not give him any credit like they always do if Kell won.

they'll fight down the road, but not quite yet. let this one build a bit.

hopefully Thurman finds someone to fight in the meantime.
