    Reports breaking out that HBO have confirmed Kell Brook was offered Miguel Cotto in New York on June 18th which would have been on PPV, however Brook and promoter Eddie Hearn turned it down....

    For someone who is keen to fight a big name and raise his stock, if true, this is crazy stuff from Kell and Eddie

    This would have been a good fight.

    2016 continues to be the year of ducking.

    That's a crazy decision. I'd love to know what kind of money Brook was offered. Unless it was embarrassingly low, I can't wrap my head around this.

    Eddie hearn on Twitter insinuating it's not true. "We'd walk to New York for that fight"

    Eddie said it was Cotto who turned it down.

    Delete this thread just a lie.

    Cotto is the kind of name that puts a guy in the public consciousness though. I can't imagine why on earth Brook would pass this opportunity up. SMH if this report is true
