Amir khan believes his name will sell out 90,000 at Wembley in Kell Brook fight

Against a nobody too.

The Brook fight has been mooted for over 5 years. It has the ingredients to be big but it all depends on the marketing too.

 

I think it depends on Brook vs Spence. Khan walked Kell into that fight by flirting with the idea of fighting Brook at 147 after he lost to GG but demanding a 70/30 split, knowing full well it would get rejected. That left Brook with Spence or moving up to 154 and being accused of ducking his mandatory and allowing Khan to claim Brook ducked him too. Khan can now sit back and see what happens.

If Brook loses, that would be a fair indicator he needs to go to 154, and it would weaken his bargaining position with Khan, so he either accepts the B-side of the deal vs Khan at 147 - with Amir more confident Kell is weight-drained at WW - or he decides he can't cut it at 147 anymore, once again allowing Khan to claim Brook ducked him. Now if Brook beats Spence, Amir has a bit of a problem getting out of this one, but maybe that's where his Wembley fantasy comes in by setting the bar so high, the numbers will never add up.

Title-less Khan vs title-less Brook (coming off two back-to-back losses) is not filling 90,000 seats, no way. And on the flip side, Khan wouldn't want any part of a Brook who beat Spence... lol.

So to answer your question, I think the odds are against the fight ever taking place but if it did, I can't see it beyond the 02 or the Manchester Arena (God bless all the victims of last night's atrocity).

 

Great post.

 

I think the peak time for this fight has past...

Lets think if Brook beats Spence he is the best in the division in my opinion or at the very least is one of 2. If this happens people will be asking why does Khan deserve it coming off a loss.

And if Brook looses the fight will be deemed as a fight between two runners up.

I dont think its a stadium fight at this point.

Brook wins he holds all the cards... Is khan even rated by the IBF? Can brook fight him anyway without khan fighting and getting some wins under his belt.

Khan should of got active again and got some wins in the division.

 

I'm being educated - I like it. I think Spence will win and Brook as a fighter could accept the b side to get it done. He seems to want the fight! That's my prediction...and after your comments - I agree not selling Wembley and going smaller scale.

 

Khan is smoking funny phags.

 

Maaaaan. If only I were in Britain, I could totally make a killing selling safety goggles to the first few rows for this one.

 

used to be a big Khan fan, can't stand him anymore

 

Yeah... don't believe the skype.... I mean hype

 

Not only would khan not be able to sell that venue out against any possible opponant, not Brook, not Pacquiao, people are actually begining to forget he is even still around. Out of friends and family im pretty much the only one who loves his Boxing so many questions come my way and its all about AJ at the moment, Brook is getting a few mentions along with questions about who Spence is, Fury ofcourse gets mentioned alot, GGG too but Nobodys asking jack **** about Amir Khan and havnt since the very moment Canelo put him to sleep. And even before that he had been near forgotten.

 

Him saying his name could sell out Wembley Stadium is a joke. His name couldn't sell out Wembley Arena. Brook would be the main ticket seller that fills Wembley Stadium if that fight ever happens.
