Khan and Brook - Who is the A side

Amir Khan is the a-side (intentionally not capitalized) to Kell Brook's B-Side (intentionally capitalized)... Khan is a bigger name, but not by much anymore. The Golovkin fight did more for Brook than the Canelo fight did for Khan in terms of name exposure.

55-45 in favor of Khan is fair.

Oh I can and will disagree
Kell career stalled because of khan under f w a n k
He was put on tghe back burner whilst f w a k and khans dad hoggeled all media pushing this kind young honest devout Muslim that fought against hatred blah blah blah
But time played out and he ain't so devout he ain't kind he ain't honest and he seems to have a lot of hate in him especially to the guy who career was thrown by the way side for

 

Neither one is the A side. Khans a ***** now. He's tasted some money and thinks that he can dictate fights and fighters pay. Foh China chin.

 

Apparently Khan wants 70-30. Also I'm hearing that Khan wants the fight to be in Bolton.

I don't think anyone can deny that Khan is the bigger name and has accomplished more in the sport than Kell Brook. Brook though is Champion, while Khan isn't. However, his promoter Eddie Hearn is insisting that he'd rather see Brook at 154 lbs saying that Brook is a better fighter there than he is at 147. So if it's not at 147 lbs, then I don't think Brook can use the fact that Brook is Champion at 154 to affect the split. I mean true he is a Champion and Khan isn't, but if the fight won't have Brook's title on the line and Brook will be vacating it, then Khan Brook would be at 154 where neither is champion.

The first thing that will be happening is that Brook will have to decide whether he wants to defend his title or if he will be fighitng at 154 for now on. I don't think any negotiations can occur until Brook makes that decision. If he decides to vacate the title, then I predict Khan will immediately criticize Brook for vacating the title and that will stall negotiations further. However I can't imagine Khan would rather fight at 147 than 154. Though it seems that Khan may have an easier time making 147 than Brook, but we don't really know for sure.

Would it be a better fight at 154? Would they both be drained at 147? Where do you want to see this fight, and if Brook dropped his title would you criticize him for it?

 

The article is biased trash, just look at how he paints each fighter's last fight. He mentions Brook taking a battering but not Khan getting knocked spark out so that he couldn't move!

Khan fighting in America has been good for his career in terms of money, but not for this fight as he has been somewhat forgotten by British fans whereas Brook's profile has risen recently. Despite all that Khan is STILL the bigger name and brings more money. I think 55-45 in favour of Khan is fair but Brook should take even 60-40 because 1. Brook will probably win and 2. It will be a big profile boost and lead to bigger fights and better paydays in the future.

 

They were all khans selling points so you saying f w a n k promoted other fighters the same way he did for khan gtfoh silver spoon treatment and as for hate I was a khan fan when he snatched silver but I seen through the smoke and mirrors straight away
Whilst millions of fools sucked that shyte up and are know like is this guy for real

 

Khan has achieved quite a bit more but his stock is at a low while Brook's is at a high. Like it or not, Brook came out with more credit vs GGG than Khan did vs Canelo.

So I'd say 60-40 or 55-45 in Khan's favour is about right.

 

The khan fight would have been at 147 mate. What the promoters saying is...we will make 147 for khan because of the money on the table but outwith khan they feel brook needs to move up to 154 as he d be a better fighter there. If they could cut some kind of deal with spence who,s mandatory for the title theres no reason it wouldnt be on the line for khan v brook. Only problem is the winner would have to probably fight spence next.

The things is the way boxings going nowadays...the titles are basically meaningless. Which is sad really. Their actually a disadvantage at times in terms of your earning potential cause your stuck fighting mandatories when they come up as opposed to being able to fight who you want for maybe more money.

Probably one of the biggest problems in boxing.

 

Khan

Brook shouldnt be fighting at 147 anymore anyway, he could and should clean house at 154 (orbital permitting)

 

For all you brainiacs
