By Scott Gilfoid: According to WBC cruiserweight champion Tony Bellew, the fight between IBF welterweight champion Kell “Special K” Brook (36-1, 25 KOs) and No.1 IBF Errol Spence Jr. (21-0, 18 KOs) is a 50-50 fight that will make only one-tenth the amount of money that a fight between Brook and Amir Khan (31-4, 19 […] The post Kell Brook vs. Errol Spence is 50-50 fight says Bellew appeared first on Boxing News 24.
It's an excellent match up, but for every person saying Kell has yet to fight anyone his resume pisses all over Spence's who has yet to face a true puncher.
His right that the money wouldn't be as good. I'm far from convinced Spence is sent to the UK for 25% in such a risky fight.
That's a terrible article. The writer is on Spence's dick. Claims Brook looked terrible v GGG and just ran away.
That's a good point, I can't see Hearn overpaying Spence Jr for a mandatory defence, you would expect Matchroom to back Brook and win any kind of purse bid so will Spence Jr take 25% and a fight in the U.K.? I think Spence should, Brook had to go to the US for the Porter fight but... I'm British and I will admit The UK hasn't exactly got a great reputation for being fair and square, there has been some absolutely shocking decisions involving Matchroom fighters. The next couple of weeks will be interesting to see him w this plays out.
