I agree with Bunce, Khan - Brook would sell! Christ Sky managed to hype and sell Haye Harrison, and let's be Frank, this is a much better fight and would be easy to do. Has Brook got a gold medel? No. But has he been beaten by no marks and cabbies? No. My preference would be 1) Brook 2) Ortiz 3) Katsidis (LWW isn't his division otherwise he'd be my number 1) 4) Peterson (competitive with Bradley, yes he was. But he lost. And I thought he lost to Ortiz) 5) Judah (5 round fighter) 6) Prescott (Khan just beat a better version) Khan beats all of them confortably. But it'll be nice to a) see brook step up ok class and b) Khan to fight a live opponent who can bang just after his War with Maidana.
Vano, This is an entertainment business...let Naz and Brendan Ingle sell the fight with Frank in the wings...deliver Oscar to the table and mix with blanket SKY coverage and it will be classic. Why look elsewhere? Adios.
Khan vs Judah is a seriously **** fight. Zab hasn't beaten a top class fighter in ****ing years, he quit like a sissy against Clottey, the cut wasn't anywhere near as bad as some that Ricky Hatton has fought on with, or Pacquiao, or Marquez for that matter. I'm not big on the Brook fight either but I'd rather see that one - Khan would thrash him of course but it's more credible - as Steve says with the right undercard it will sell tickets and do good numbers on PPV. It's the platform for the big evens that Frank wants, to push some of these lads on.
Why does this BS News cut into the show. It shouldn't be called the Boxing Hour. More like Boxing 54 minutes.
Brook-Khan would sell because it is Khan versus a hyped to **** British prospect. Sky would be all over it like hyping it like it was the fight of the century. **** sake Rob dont compare Brook and Fraudley. I agree Brook hasnt beat anyone of note - he should rematch Jennings - but it is nowhere near the Fraudley-Haye shitometer.
It's not my first choice Khan fight but it's in front of Peterson, Ortiz and Judah. Adios and get ready...we are nearly live.
