    For people who don't know what I mean:
    Every fight he has will be on sky box office.
    Similar to how hatton was and Haye and Khan for a short time. And also recently froch.
    I think thats hearns plan for him

    Does he deserve it?

    If he fights a top WW - I can see why not.
    Obviously Matchroom have to generate money to get the big names to the UK

    The Shawn Porter fight did bad numbers but it was on the cards.


    If he fought the big names then yes he deserves to be a box office star.


    Brook vs Khan, Brook vs Marquez,...etc... will probably be on box office.

    More so than Amir Khan, that's for sure.

    If he fights Khan, Marquez, Bradley or Broner then I think it should be.

    Brook v Broner would be legalised murder.

    People forget how good Broner realistically is because of the one loss to Maidana. The bloke is a 3 weight world champion and has lost to one world class fighter.

    Ponce De Leon, Malignaggi, DeMarco and Jason Litzau are all good fighters. Don't forget he's still only young, still a lot of room for improvement.

    I like Brook but he's kinda boring to watch at times, don't really has that X factor in him .

    It depends on the opponent, his mandatory against Ion or Biziet clearly isn't PPV, but a fight against a big name WW like JMM would certainly be PPV

    Kell always had good viewing figures on Sky, second only to Froch I think so Sky will defiantly try and push him as a PPV fighter

    hes a world champ in a division that the other world champs are mayweather and pacman. Deserves to make some money for himself.

    As long as its not a complete fraud of a fight (like the khan vs mccloskey) or an a blatant avoidance of big names and fighting a shot gatekeeper ( judah or someone) I'll happily buy

    As others have rightly said, it depends on whose in the opposite corner. Brook vs Khan/Marquez/Pacquiao/Mayweather is most definitely PPV. Brook vs Gavin/Bundu/Berto/Rios not so much.
