    Eddie Hearn really pushing his luck sticking this as PPV. Ali has to Smith doesn't he? so that takes him out.

    Would want a stacked undercard to be paying £16.99 for it

    Box Rec has it down as PPV.

    And generally that is on the money.

    he is quite obviously not facing Theophane, Theophane is being touted as an opponent for OD or Kelly, why on earth would the Brook fight happen.

    I'm a huge Brook fan, but this next fight can't be on PPV surely?

    I'd rather see Brook vs an easy comeback opponent as support to AJ/Parker or Haye/Bellew

    There is no way this can be PPV - AJ is due back in March

    I hope he doesn’t mate, Liam Smith’s earned that shot imo.

    Hearn is talking utter rubbish - Brook is not even ranked by the WBO.

    yeah but either way it depends on when the mandatory is due for Sadam ali mate.

    If he's allowed a voluntary between now and june for example; Kell Brook vs Sadam Ali is very realistic. considering the hbo relationship with eddie now aswell.

    This is shocking a fighter with back to back loses on ppv and he quit in his last fight all his trash cards and him turning fights down after claiming those fighters are the best at the weight and now this and he still has all these fanboys saying his great when his killing boxing in the uk

    How can you say Hearn is killing boxing in the UK. If anything it is the complete opposite. Boxing is now as popular as in the 80s and the atmosphere he generates at his events is the best in the world. He has brought massive stadium fights and the best fighters in the world to the UK and tickets are far cheaper than the US.
    As for brook, I think it should only be PPV if he is challenging for a World Title. He is still a top fighter and I personally can't blame him for quitting if he thought there was a chance he might get blinded for life. As long as his eyes are ok and he gets his confidence back he will become a two weight world champion.

    Brook said this last month

    "I think I'll have a meaningful fight, a comeback fight, a warm-up fight, and then we'll be looking at jumping back on the high horse for a world title," Brook said last month."
