    So after Khan got sparked out I read up on his pay for the fight 9 Million Eddie Hearn said in various interviews Khan would earn more fighting Brook.

    Surely not ????

    even more so after Saturday if Khan would fight Brook he would need 6 months off then 3 warm up fights whats that 18 months minimum cant see it happening

    Do you have factual evidence he made $9m?
     
  3. He was offered 10 million for the Brook fight.

    I think the pay would of been about the same as khan would of got the lions share of the purse with Brook and if the fight had been announced say 3 months ago and was going to go ahead on that June date then it would of been a big fight.

    Khan's guarantee was $2 mil (plus PPV revenue)

    It's fair to say a fight v Brook would of seen him get guaranteed way more than that.

    I just listened to a little podcast on the BBC and they said Khan was paid 9 million :shock:

    It's a figure that keeps getting quoted but like you I haven't seen or heard anything other than the odd person quoting it :think

    I think have to wait for the PPV numbers. The only thing confirmed was the purse.

    Canelo $3.5 mil, Khan $2 mil.

    For Khan to have earned $9m based on the purses, Canelo would have had to have earned $15.75m. Unlikely when you put the two purses together.

    Khan couldn't fight brook next even if he wanted to as the IBF wouldn't allow it.

    Also 3 warm up fights. You are having laugh right. If the fight is gonna happen to has to be summer 2017 at the latest.

    Khan can fight once after Ramadan and another early 2017.

    The main point is that amir doesn't want the fight. Whatever reasons they are he has no desire to fight kell brook.

    Also go back and watch the canelo vs khan face off. Max kellerman mentions to amir that he turned down more Money to fight kell brook. Amir khan agreed with the statement.

    So do you think khan was lying??

    The Brook fight is dead... How does beating Khan up do for Brooks career? I don't think even casuals would buy into it.

    It makes brook credible at world level. Khan is a very good fighter. Khan outpoints brook for me. Of course we know he's been chinned by garcia and prescott but the canelo ko shouldn't be considered

    Eddie Hearn has managed to hype some of the worst mismatches, he'll have no problem with Khan-Brook it will still do really well.

    Froch Groves 2 made £22m so that's 22m to play with.

    Froch got 8mill Groves 2m

    For the only fight below the heavyweight division that could sell out a stadium the money is there, so Hearn if not technically right or even if he is - he's certainly not lying.
