    it won't happen.

    It is a tactic from Khan to say it is Brook's fault he own't meed the rehydrate clause.

    Brook would be a fool to agree too it. Khan is scared of losing to Brook.

    Personally i couldn't give a Trump about this fight now. It's about 4 years too late. Both are done.

    If i watch it it would just to root for Brook against the deluded prat that is Khan.

    147 and 157 rehydrations clause.

    No chance Brook can win this fight. He loses it on the scales

    150 or 154 It's a KO for Brook

    Khan is draining him big league.

    It’s time for Khan to get sparked into retirement, even with the weight drained I expect Brook to banjo this fraud all over the ring.

    Wouldn't be surprised if brook purposely comes in over weight fight night

    Tbh in fairness boxing should have rehydration clauses though

    You have people like canelo coming in nearly 2 stone heavier fight night ....

    Yes Khan is being such a weight bully. Khan fought Lo Greco north of 147 at a catchweight, but he won't fight Brook if it isn't at 147? That's bad enough, then you put a rehydration clause on top of that . Wow is Khan stacking the deck against Brook. I'm kind of shocked Brook would agree to that deal considering when Brook fought Spence Hearn made it clear that he didn't like Brook fighting at 147 any more and said he was a much better fighter at 154. At 147 Brook is going to be drained and will be struggling to make weight then the day of the fight he's not going to be able to rehydrate properly. Khan might literally end Brook's career.

    Just bring back same day weigh-ins.

    Let everyone move up a weight.

    A rehydration clause like this is dangerous for Kell.

    If you look at their last few fights, there’s no logical reason to not to have it at a C-W.

    I’ve wanted to see this for years, but I fear that Kell will end up agreeing to everything just because he’s so desperate to beat him. So Amir will definitely have the upper hand in the negotiations. Like yourself, I don’t think that Kell can safely make WW anymore.

    Brook defended his ibf title with the 10 pound rehydration cap, I know it will be even harder than ever seeing as he moved up to 154 since Spence fight also he will be rusty as hell seeing as if it’s start of next year he will only of had 1 fight this year compared to khans 2.

    But he’s all wrong for khan drained or not he’s got great timing and Khan has such a terrible defence that brook will ko him by the 7th round.

    I’m glad that Kell’s making this stance. But I think that he’ll eventually cave if Khan says take it or leave it.

    Khan’s got the upper hand, just because Kell wants it more than he does.

    If Brook was confident of beating Khan then weight should not matter.

    The only reason it DOES matter - to Brook - is because he has lost a size advantage over Khan and therefore it gives some advantage back to Khan.

    Ultimately though, this is Brook's fault for not having discipline and balooning up in weight between fights and then killing himself making weight again.

    If he moved to 154lb years ago he might have done well but he pathetically and desperately stayed at 147lbs for the Khan cash out and it might backfire on him now.

    Brook gets too many passes on here for fighting dog crap level opponents.

    PS....I think they are both close to shot now.

    Khan has semi brain damage and Brook has a broken face and no confidence left.

    Not really sure what else you want him to do. If he agrees to a fight at 147lbs why does there need to be a 10 lbs rehydration clause?
