    I’m picking crawford to win now.

    just read about brook not being trained by ingle for this fight and also that Hearn isn’t promoting brook either

    anyone know much more on this?

    the fights confirmed but no poster or anything announced on Hearns Instagram

    All sounds a bit fishy to me, wouldn’t be surprised if the fight doesn’t happen

    don’t agree with that, he was a consensus top five / top three welter in the world when he beat porter away from home.

    Now he is indisputably a shot fighter.

    Brook will want to maximize his earnings from this one and cutting out Ingle and Hearn is the obvious choice. As long as he doesn't quit he will have ammunition to throw at Khan. With him and Khan both free agents they could easily set up a little beef to get a retirement fight going. Even though both are well past their best it will still be a fun, profitable fight with some tasty build up. Brook will get picked apart and stopped by Crawford, without Ingle he was all over the place. Ingle is all Brook knows.

    No chance at all for Brook here, but he might be able to go the distance. Crawford is a light puncher when compared to Spence and specially Golovkin.

    I think Crawford beats Brook regardless.

    But It's the weight that will really damage Brook, he shouldn't be fighting at 147 any longer.

    It wasn't long ago, all that talk of Brook Vs Khan and Brook wasn't having any of the 147 limit, I'm sure he wanted or was pushing for a fight at a catchweight.

    But all of a sudden he is dipping back down to 147, zero mention of the weight, I'm not buying it.



    Brook is taking a gamble, taking a payday, and that's fine but let's not forget all the things Brook and Hearn have said about Brook at 147 over the past few years.

    That's not true. Kell said he would fight Khan at welter.

    Yes he did, I do remember that. Although a catchweight was also talked about.

    Maybe, I'm sure if the money was right and Khan had a set of nuts he would have done Welterweight but they were also talking a catchweight of 150 if my memory serves me correctly.

    From what I have read, Brook, Barker, Bellew, Froch (Original eddie hearn Matchroom) were all basically on handshake deals. Brook has never had a contract with Hearn.

    The exclusive Sky deal is why he probably doesn’t feel the need to lock them down.

    Bet he makes AJ sign

    Is this hindered percent on ? I thought they were struggling to sell it to uk tv , which I guess would effect Brooks original purse ?
