    That's a **** load of money to fight brook - someone who khan sees as a level below himself. I'm a fan of brook I like his style. Khan has to take this fight the money is too good to turn it down. If he rejects I think we can safely say it's a duck.

    Unless he manages to get some form of World Title fight then most will see it as a duck I'd of thought - unless the $5Mill was never really offered.

    I believe Khan is under contract, when it comes to his UK broadcaster, to BoxNation.

    So I'm guessing that he can't fight on Sky Sports/Box Office unless Eddie pays off BoxNation.

    There is no formal offer. Khan gas never ducked, look at his confidence it oozes out of him to the point of arrogance. How much would this fight make? Khan is shot and Brook has no fan base outside Sheffield and has fought nobody of note.

    If Hearn was to turn a profit after paying Khan 5-8million, how much would Brook be getting paid? If this offer was real Khan would gave signed it during the Mayweather debacle. 5 million to beat Brook or 5 million to get schooled by Floyd is a no brainer.

    Khans guaranteed golden boy purses are about 1.2 million last I heard. Why would Hearn need to quadruple that to get him to fight Brook?

    Im reading from “That offer – £5million – is still on the table and will remain there for the foreseeable future.”

    How was i to know Hearn was mis quoted? He only confirmed $5mil on twitter 13 hours ago after looking into it, you must sit on twitter constantly like a 15 year old girl

    Toot. You're a total prik you scruffy ****

    Wow. Somebody has lost it.

    He said it a couple of weeks ago and I just remember, that's all.

    On the note 'scruffy ****', you're from Israel, you have to ****ing take cover when you hear a siren. Watch out for them bombs fella.

    Depends who he fights instead. If he can get the Porter fight, he should go for that.

    Brook hasn't done much to deserve a fight with Khan. Should he take the money rather than fight a name in America??

    And as I mentioned, he is probably under contract to BoxNation anyway.
