    He's waiting for the Khan payday (which won't be at 154), thought everyone knew that?

    I think a catchweight is the most realistic outcome. Khan's a welterweight and Brook's a light middleweight now. Neither will want to lose any face by having to fight at the other one's weight. Nor give the other man the physical advantage. Hearn will act as mediator, flash lots of cash in their faces and get them to reach a compromise of a catchweight at 150 or whatever. Maybe even 150.5 so it's exactly in the middle and there can be no arguments!

    Yeah, true..

    I have a feeling though Khan will demand/want it at 147, simply because he knows getting down to 147 will damage Brook far more than it damages him, all the talk before Spence was Brook basically kills himself to make 147 so after moving up and filling in to 154 Khan will try and make Brook come back down.

    Khan will belive at this moment in time it's a huge advantage.

    That said, If there are no belts on the line I also wouldn't be surprised if we see a 150 catch weight being mentioned or suggested, probably by Hearn.

    He's gonna do the same thing he did at 147. Fight a bunch of chumps while avoiding the viable opposition as long as possible.

    Just before his comeback, Brook stated he has a year left and about 3 fights. Hopefully fighting Khan in those 3. When a fighter says he has x amount of time left, it’s not really a good sign, especially given that he is 32. I can see the negotiations with the Khan fight dragging out even longer. Brook would want to do 150. Khan would want every advantage and be adamant on 147. And I have a feeling Brook will succumb and boil down to 147. Which for fight fans will make it more even.
