    Really good question. It would be pretty close to be honest. Khan is the bigger name and is better known by the casuals but Brook is the undefeated fighter and has the backing of Eddie Hearn so he would get better marketing.

    the smoke and mirrors is very obvious. his fans claim he is tbe and no one can defeat him until 154 and yet he does bot fight opponents that makes the most money and at least give him a good fight. ggg, thurman, and brook are all available and waaaay ahead than khan, berto, and mayfield in giving him a good fight. but since he is looking for a good dancing and hugging partner then i guess they are pretty with nice muscles solid.hehehe

    Yes and its not even close, no one knows who Brook is and with good reason, but at this point Brook is much better fighter.

    No. Berto has faded due to his stop-start form in the past couple of years while Brook has gone strength to strength and had some exposure in North America.

    Both wouldn't do huge numbers (for a Mayweather PPV) but Brook would sell more.

    at least Kell Brook is undefeated, I was surprised to see in 48 fights, MW only fought two undefeated fighters in his career (minus one or two debut guys in his first few fights)

    But in this day of social media it takes less than 5 sec to realize berto is a bum


    Meanwhile Brook is undeafeted at 35-0 and already beat Porter to prove he's legit

    Let's be honest guys

    This is just a simple redirection ploy. No one wants Khan to get the fight so Mayweather starts mentioning Berto and Mayfield..suddenly everyone says never mind, Khan would be better.

    Brook Would sell massive PPV in the uk v PBF, people would buy into it in America with a bit of marketing , Beating shawn porter Ect, Kell brings the Bling, ( Special 1 ) ibf World Champ, undefeated, Mussels and a real threat. So no Berto is not better far from it!
