    If Wembley Stadium would be too big for Froch v Groves, they could guarantee a sell out if Khan was on the bill

    Would Khan be too expensive for Wembley Stadium PPV main support?

    I don't see why not
    Charge more for the PPV. £20 would be alright

    Gotta be honest it excites me more than the main bill? Everything about it screams great fight

    Not even the slightest chance they are on the same bill.

    We brits are lucky yet still complain about £15 PPV, Mayweather v Canelo was $65 Standard Def and $75 High Def in America

    For 2 huge fights like that people would easily be up for paying up to £25

    Lets get down to reality for a second. The only hype around this fight is the grudge between the two. Boxing wise Kell gets taken to school. So tell me again why the Floyd fight is so ridiculous yet Khan fighting someone levels below him is such a stadium seller?

    Hahahah Big Bang get real mate.
    Kell would put khan too sleep with a stiff jab. Kell brook can bang and he rarely misses.

    Im with you.Khan may not have given up on Mayweather yet.I think if he has been training he'd go into a Mayweather fight without a warm up. Nobody would give him a chance of winning so he would really have nothing to lose.But I believe he would want a warm up for Brook,due to his time out of the ring,would believe he could win the fight.So would quite a few other people.
    Froch/Groves is slated for May/June. Hearn would see this as too dangerous as a non title fight then. I think they want a Khan fight as back up if Kell doesn't get a shot or as Kells first defence if he wins the title.Next fight if he fails.Another scenario is Amir retires.I can't see it happening this year.Maybe 2015 if Amir is still active.

    There is no way that Hearn would allow Brook/Khan on the undercard due to it being a big fight in it's own right sadly- we don't live in 1998 with stacked PPV cards.

    Why waste it down the bill of another massive fight....

    Get the fight on at Bolton's stadium and give British boxing another big fight night in the summer!
