Khan: Brook must beat Spence before we fight

Doesn't matter if UK fans don't know Spence. 50,000-60,000 will still show up for Khan and the booze.
UK fans never heard of Golovkin, but they heard of Brook and filled the place up to see that mismatch sideshow.
Spence had just be careful after he beats Khan down or while standing in the ring he may get hit by a storm of beer cans and bottles. You know how they do.

 

Why is Khan acting same way? Because what goes around comes around. He's doing to Brook is what Mayweather did to him. The argument that he's afraid of Brook doesn't hold water after he stepped up to mw and took an as expected brutal ko against Alvarez. It's all part of the business of boxing. As a professional boxer your 1 st duty to yourself is to maximise your earnings with the ability you have got. Khan has certainly done that being around 17 on the all time earnings list with a hundred better guys than him making less. Even Brook has done well with 10mil and only ever beating one decent opponent. I see a few guys here saying Brook doesn't need Khan which is laughable when all I've seen for the last 3 years is Brook desperate for a big payday with Khan. Brook doesn't have a snow flakes chance in hell of beating Spence but a fight with Khan will still be a big payday for both. What people don't understand is Khan is the a side and holds all the cards even though Brook probably beats him. What I see hear is Spence beating Brook then Brook beating Khan then unable to secure another big payday then finishing with mediocre career but certainly maximising his earnings with the ability he has got.

UK fans did know golovkin & not many will know who spence is. This does not do 60k lol. It will be at a 15-20k arena

 

But just like jo jo dan, errol spence is his mandatory. When he was having mandos against poor fights (not his fault) people moaned saying whys he fighting his mando.. now its errol spence people are demanding he faces his mando.. he will face errol spence no problem but its been going on for 5/6 years. He wants to ko khan badly.
Do you think he doesnt want to face any of those guys mentioned.. the difficulty is those guys can take easier fights for the same money in america and none will travel to the UK to face brook.

Why is shawn porter not on your list but errol spence is? Porter is way more proven than spence... spence has not faced a single guy who can punch. Porter is easily a top 4 welterweight currently and brook went to america and beat him. I will be very surprised if al haymon allows spence to travel for 25% of the split in a very tough fight.

 

Ok well if "what goes around comes around" then wouldn't you agree that when Khan said Mayweather was "frightened" and "ducked" and treated him terribly the same has to be applied to himself with regards to Brook?

That was Khans logic, so that same logic has to apply to him.

Khan does not get a bigger payday right now than Brook, it would be the biggest payday of his career.

I'm not saying Khan is a frightened of a beating, he has taken enough of them, I'm saying Khan couldn't live with losing to Brook, it would haunt him and after all that's been said the British boxing fans who don't like him (and there are many) would never let him forget it.

Khan is not the A Side right now, 12 months ago yes, but Khan has been brutally knocked out by Canelo at 155 while Brook stood and fought the man Canelo won't fight for whatever reason at the full 160 limit.

Khan has a better resume, no question, no debate about that but in the U.K. Where this fight would happen Brook has a higher profile right now after Golovkin, Brook also has the backing of Matchroom and Sky, Khan hasn't fought in the U.K. for how long?

Khan can't be forced to fight Brook but if he doesn't he will always been seen as the one who ducked, it was there for him on a plate, a huge domestic fight, the biggest payday of his career and the chance to silence his bitter rival once and for all.

It's Khan choice but he does not fight Brook he'll have to live with it.


As for Spence Jr, I really rate him, I like him, have done since early but I don't think he will come to the UK for a mandatory % against a fighter like Brook.

But I'd love to see it, Brook has proved he can hold a solid shot and dish it out so it could be a classic if Spence Jr can take a shot because he can certainly punch.

 

He just earnt millions without khan? Why again does he need khan? There is huge dislike for each other, whilst ofcourse wanting a big money for any fight.. he wants to KO Khan for all of the trash talk over the years. Nobody says khan is afraid of brook but he knows a loss to him after all these years has built up alot of pressure in the uk market. It would possibly be the end of his career, he would then be nothing more than a stepping stone for young guys to put his name on their resume.

Brook will beat spence.

 

LOL. Only 8,000 people in the US know who Golovkin is. They had to call Gonzalez back for the Jacobs undercard to ensure they could sell tickets.

 

You've nailed it here. Although I think Brook v anybody would do more than 60,000 over in the UK, but you're right in Spence being a none factor in the buyrate.

Spence and his team are waiting on Brook vacating- not waiting on him taking the fight. I think Haymon is trying to push Khan in front of Brook's path to get him away from the belt. I think once Spence realises he's only get 25% to come to the UK and lose, he will take that WBO final eliminator v Bradley.

 

I think Brook is on the same level as Khan now james.

 

both brook and spence would knock khan out the ring

 

If I ask some casuals who is Amir Khan, "that indian boxer" (He is actually Pakistani)
If I ask the same people who Kell Brook is "That milf with the big titties"

True story

 

Although he hasn't proved it as yet Spence is the best ww right now and there is no ww that can beat him. Another factor here which I haven't heard any one mention is Brook dropping down in weight. History has shown plenty of boxers having success in going up in weight but usually proving disastrous when dropping back. Wasting depletes stamina, strength and chin. RJJ was only became chinny and beatable after he went back to lhw after the Ruis fight and there are lots more examples. Brook stated before the GG fight that the weight was no problem because he was really a big 154 lbder. This will not bode well for him against Spence and I can even see him struggle to beat Khan if he can't tap him in 6-7 rds. Spence tears into his ribs early and stops him late.

 

right on the money, the whole post

 

that's what you get for hiding in the uk and refusing to fight in the US often. that's why i give amir khan a lot of credit. he didn't want to hide in his hometown and fight tomato cans then win titles. so he took the risk and went to the USA to make his name.

spence has the backing of mayweather and destroyed algeiri who even pacman couldn't. He also stopped bundu which thurman couldn't either. Porter is overrated. when he fought brook his best win was julio diaz or alexander. spence is the real test but i don't think brook want it. we will find out soon.

 

BTW, eddie hearn talking to phelps is hinting that brook will NOT fight spence because it's too risky

eddie hearn isn't stupid, and he has been protecting brook all his career. the spence fight will NOT happen unless we push brook into a corner. hearn is scared.
