    If this fight happened and the Groves/Froch fight happened, and Hearn's boys lost; He'd be in SERIOUS trouble! God I hope that happens.

    Why? Would he lose his TV deal?

    I think that's the only thing SELLING OUT a stadium anytime soon. Never going to happen like, but the even would be HUGE.

    A Mayweather PPV would not be part of his contract obligations. Garcia, Peterson, Molina fights etc where on standard showtime/HBO. There is absolutely no way Khan only takes home 2-3m - he is still a big name in the states I'm guessing when the coins have been counted it will be closer to £8m US...and that's not including the UK box office money...although I'm sure Floyd will be after some of that after allowing Ricky to take it all from their fight.

    Khan should say he'll accept the offer but only if the fight happens at a certain date so he's still available for a potential Floyd fight.

    he must mean a five million purse split between both fighters.

    Another PR stunt by Hearn. No way Khan takes this fight with the possibility of the Floyd fight this close. If Floyd goes through with Maidana guarantee Eddie would pull this offer away from the table and the terms would change!

    Would love Khan to just say **** it and call their bluff. The worst that would happen is he would lose the Floyd fight (he'd certainly get more respect from me for dropping Floyd as I'm getting annoyed with him ****ing Khan around - i'm no great Khan fan either to be honest and love Floyd). He'd then either has to fight Brook (He ****s Brook anyway IMO) or they pull the offer and he makes them all look stupid in the process.

    You're not a Khan fan but think he will drop Floyd and beat Kell?

    :yikes

    If you look at the context it was written you would have understood I meant dropping the fight. Not actually dropping Floyd IN the ring. :rofl

    Been saying for weeks don't think the Khan Money fight will happen. If it doesn't Khan Brook makes sense

    Khan/Brook DOES NOT make sense. I just don't get it...

    There's no rivalry?

    Brook has had the same amount of fights as him and has one meaningful win on his record (his last opponent, who got sparked by Paulie! LOLOL).

    Brook keeps fighting meaningless eliminators whilst Khan gets bandied around as a Mayweather opponent.

    They don't even hail from the same city, so there isn't a local rivalry between them.

    They aren't even in the same division for christ sake!

    This whole 'Khan/Brook/Gavin' saga is nonsense. These guys are MILES apart from each other. Literally.

    What has this bum Brook done to deserve a shot at Khan? Amir is a superstar in America. Brook is still relatively unknown in England. Khan is a two time world champion. Brook will still be having final eliminators in the year 2020.

    I like this fight as they genuinely do seem to hate each other and you can make a case for either fighter.

    I suspect Amir fights Floyd, does better than expected but still loses and then fights Brook. A lot depends on Froch/Groves I guess.

    Eddie is only offering this fight because he knows it will never happen just like the proposed Clev fight with Froch
