    If this fight happens it's only because Brook/Hearn want to keep Brook busy and keep his name out there. I don't think they will be claiming it is a clash of global superstars.

    They wanted to fight a self-proclaimed global superstar but sadly that gentleman was not prepared to lower himself to fighting Brook.

    Criticism of Dan is pathetic it was a mandatory. If you remember many years ago when Khan was a world champion he had to face the awesome challenge of Dmitriy Salita for the same reason.

    Fighters get a lot of grief for being inactive and I think it is a pleasant change seeing a champion wanting to fight after only 8/9 weeks rest. Marquez, Thurman or Bradley are not going to take a fight at 7 weeks notice nor are they going to accept the money on offer for a fight at this venue.

    Frankly they may go a bit further down the IBF rankings than Gavin for an opponent on 30th May

    Whoever Brook fights on 30th May take it for what it is a bit of added value on an already decent card.

    if brook fights gavin then i hope even more khan doesn't give him a shot

    this guys just keeps fighting nobodies and his fans keep building him up..........after all the hype of a big fight they get gavin? HHAHAHAHA :rofl

    where is thurman?bradley?marquez?rios(even though he's not a high class opp)

    now brook fans saying oh that's the best he can do in 7 weeks? i never knew brook has ramadan too, he can fight in june too

    brook still fighting lower level fighters......eddie hearn protecting him as always

    khan is the mandatory for the WBC title

    just like you defended brook vs jo jo dan fight

    so khan can get winner or give up belt

    no brook fan can defend brook vs gavin.....big joke after saying he wants the big names....when will this guy step up

    he was criticizing khan for going with the algieri even though the fight is not confirmed saying that algieri didn't even win 1 round vs manny meanwhile he goes out and calls out rios who didn't even win 1 round vs manny either lol...the guy is joke

    brook vs gavin will seal it for me

    Lads in Eddie's video with Kugan after the Geordie Roar show, Eddie said he's working on making Gavin vs Bradley - he didn't sound keen on Brook vs Gavin at all.

    Because May 30th is such short notice, I think we're likely to see Brook fight Alvarado or Chavez.

    Lol Khan hasn't got any power to force brook to fight him, and good luck on trying to get the wbc to force floyd to take a mandatory who he has no interest in fighting. That silver belt means sweet FA when it comes to getting a shot at the title, just look at james degale
