For the record, Bradley was offered a final eliminator to face Brook and turned it down. Watch, Thurman's post fight interview in his last fight. He says, and I quote, "I'll fight anyone, you know who to call, his name is Al Haymon". Here is how that conversation would go; Al Haymon: "Hello?" Eddie Hearn: "Hello, Al, would you be interested in matching Brook with Thurman" BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR Eddie Hearn: "Hello?, Hello?" Don't know where you get this idea that Thurman will fight anyone. He fought Collazo rather than Errol Spence. He also seems to be the one holding up the fight against Brook's son, Shawn Porter. So if call outs mean nothing then why is Thurman willing to fight anyone and Brook not?
Calling out the top 147 fighters ... that's a lot of fighters. The most I've ever heard of anyone calling out. Are they the top 147 P4P fighters, or the top welters? I'm sure he'll have some takers if the money is right.
He is having trouble making 147 and he is in his 30s. He has to move up. The star position is virtually vacant and its good fights there.
Brook is a fraud. He will take another soft opponent claiming that he is returning from an injury. I will bump this thread when this happens. You fanboys will buy that **** too. What a scam. Get real people. His only credible win is a MD over Porter. He isn't fighting anyone else and is gonna hostage the belt. Damn it..
I have never understood this fascination with "so-and-so is calling so-and-so out" ... like that means anything. If a fighter wants to "call someone out," the "call" he needs to make is to his promoter to get said promoter to make an OFFER to the other fighter -- one fair enough that any reasonable fighter would have to take it. But, no, the DKSAB crew acts like someone going on twitter or on TV and saying "I call out _____" means something. Back it up -- with real money -- or don't waste my time.
Like I said. Name the top 147 fighter that is happy to jump into the ring with him. You can't. And holding the belt hostage? The following fighters rejected a final eliminator to fight him: -Leonard Bundu -Amir Khan -Tim Bradley -Shawn Porter -Sadam Ali -Devon Alexander.
Brook, in fairness has. They have at the very least inquired to the promoter of Khan, Rios, Mayweather, Maidana, Bradley, Provodnikov & Marquez.
Hearn will pull the 'kell is moving to 154' trick so Khan will have no choice but to fight him if he wants a big ppv payday. .plus 5mill guaranteed before ppv sales. ....if kell does move up he will probably target Liam Smith
If its ppv it could persuade ******. ...unless hearn poaches Smith. ...its possible. ..eddie announced on Twitter that he has made a big signing. Announced tmoro
Yeah but they wouldn't announce that tomorrow. Probably just some prospect to be honest. Maybe Selby's brother.
