    Brook beats Bradley and rios IMO be good names to get and good fights. Then maybe over the states for a May, PAC or Thurman.

    Kell just retweeted this

    @danrafaelespn: Chance @SpecialKBrook will be added to @EddieHearn's card on May 30. Would make an already strong card terrific. #boxing

    I agree he is more credible, Algieri is shocking, Rios has been in with some solid names and he will be game but will end up being a punchbag for as long as it lasts.

    I do not blame Brook or Hearn whatever happens really, Khan has been offered a shot at a world title which I do not think he deserves anyway, a career high payday and Khan still has no intention of fighting Brook, they have tried and tried to make a big domestic world title fight, been very generous and have been blanked again.

    Brook vs rios is a good fight.

    Bradley is all wrong for brook though.

    Good fight and I think this is the right level of opponents for Brook to be taking on

    Rios is a wall. It will be a very good test and a victory can open USA market.

    Rios would give Brook one hell of a fight. Good pressure fighter who will keep coming forward. Probably PPV worthy in this day and age.

    Bradley made $2m in his last fight (you'd probably need at add another $1m on to that to make him come over) and most of Britain has never heard of him - Hearn can't afford him and it wouldn't sell.

    Could dub him as the man that beat Manny?

    And Rios will sell? Lol!

    Sorry haha I wasn't very clear in my post, I don't think either are bigger names in the UK like, but I just mean Bradley would be much more expensive and wouldn't sell anymore.

    Yeah but your point is valid, casuals would lap that up wouldn't they. They'd do the same with Rios "went the distance with Pacquiao!"

    I can see Hearn's smug grin now... 'But he beat a PRIME Pacman, Koogs. N'art 'ar mean? A prime Manny, my san. We 'av to do Wembley again!"

    T*sser.

    Rios is garbage.

    Nice durable punchbag for Brook.

    Rios wouldn't cause Brook any real trouble, he'll keep coming and coming but he can't box worth sh*t and he's slow. He'll just be on the end of a 12 round wise UD loss.

    Brook/Rios, Linares/Mitchell, Gradovich/Selby, AJ/Kingpin - I have no issue with that being PPV. Three world title fights and all of which are competitive at the very least. That said, it isn't PPV without the Brook fight...
