Hahaha I can hear it now "he beat Provodnikov and went 12 rounds with Pacquiao" Algieri is coming of a 12 round beating and is a LWW with virtually no power, even hardcore Khan fans will not be happy with this if it actually happens. It will be embarrassing considering what he was offered, a world title shot and he chooses Algieri.
I can see it happening, Khan does not have much to offer, he is no Hatton in terms of fans, no world title, the last time he was in a world title fight he was blitzed. Brook is unbeaten, a world champion and gives Mayweather the chance of becoming undisputed world champion. It is a no brainer in terms of business.
Let's be honest though, the fight with Mayweather/Pacquiao isn't gonna happen any time soon for Brook, especially considering that he will be coming off a win against a no name. Not hating here, just saying it how it is.
I think Maywrather would prefer to fight cotto for his belt if he gets past Pac. Brook may have the belt but I can't see that fight doing decent ppv figures
Would do 700,000 to 1m ppv buys in UK i would imagine plus if Mayweather beats Pacman his super s****om will rise further so would sell in the States to.
I feel sorry for Brook a bit, he obviously lacks intelligence and Hearn has been promising him for years "win a world title and you'll start earning serious money." He finally wins a world title, and he's still making the same ****py money he always was. Now Hearn has spun the "get your mandatory out the way" to keep Brook on side, but after this fight if Khan doesn't want the dance - where doe's a big payday come from? Brook genuinely believes he's a player at 147 because he holds a world title. Al Haymon doesn't even car about world titles haha. He isn't getting Mayweather, he might get Pacquiao in Macao with 200 options on the contract though.
