I see Thurman has stated his desire to fight Kell Brook at Wembley stadium in a unification fight in a recent interview. As much as I would love this fight to happen for Kell, I don't see it being big enough to be staged at Wembley as Thurman is nowhere near the household name Khan is in the UK. If this fight ever does happen I think it will most likely be held in America. I just hope Kell & Hearn will be prepared to travel if they are serious about getting a big name outside of Khan.
It wouldnt be at Wembley just yet. Maybe in the future should they both keep winning but if that fight happened over here it would be a MEN or O2 type fight. I just cant see it happening though. Not this year anyway.
The amount of Americans that say they'll fight in the UK with no intention of crossing the pond is ridiculous. Load of bull****
Too many Americans witnessed froch v groves and Wembley and think it could be them They do have a clue of what is needed for a fight to be that huge
Christ eddie really is desperate to get a show in wembley isn't he. Brook thurman is a good fight but the o2 or the men will suffice,no need to book wembley and then glastonbury for the rematch should it be close.
Gotta laugh. Brook didn't sell out the Sheffield Arena against Dan and Eddie doesn't sound too confident about selling it out for Bizier. Is Thurman that more well known that either of them in reality? Struggles to do the 02 without a couple of names on the undercard imo. Brook just doesn't shift the tickets.
Will never sell out Wembley itself anytime soon, if it was on bill with AJ in a really big fight then yes it would sell it out more or less.
It wouldn't fill Wembley Stadium. Nobody knows who Thurman is and Brook is still not a household name either. Bramell Lane I guess might fill, but it's irrelevant anyway because Thurman wouldn't be allowed to come to the UK by Haymon. And he still hasn't beaten Porter yet.
It wasn't Eddie who said Thurman v Brook at Wembley it was Thurman who is even more deluded than Ward thinking he'd fill Wembley v Froch, if he thinks he can fill it v Brook
I have no doubt that thurman would come over to fight kell if the money was right but there is not a chance al haymon would send Keith over here.
