    Khan is claiming Brook has walked away from the fight while Hearn has reported that Khan's team would not accept a 50-50 split, exactly what split Khan was wanting is unclear. Personally I think a 50-50 split is fair, maybe 55-45 in favour of Khan just to get the fight over the line but truth be told Khan's stock has been on the decline over the last 2 years while Brooks is probably at an all time high right now.

    Time for Brook to forget about Khan and focus on the a very real threat in Spence, that is a better fight to us hardcore fans IMO anyway.

    Khan's a joke, a circus-show, the laughing stock of boxing.

    He's so deluded that he thinks the public are stupid enough to believe what he said. He's making his own fans look like fools.

    How does anybody even like this guy?

    Looking at the Twitter exchange between Khan and Hearn it seems Amir wants a 70-30 split in his favour. While this fight should be a 50/50 split, I reckon I'd take 60/40 if I was Kell right now; to score what I think would be an easy KO victory. Better to take 40% of a lot than 80% of very little (Errol Spence).

    70-30 is a joke offer, clearly shows Khan is the one who doesn't really want this fight not Brook.

    Khan is just waiting for a TV deal for a reality show, look at all this family feud and sex tape shite. The Khandashians.

    I recon Khan will fight the winner of Garcia / Thurman later in the year, Hearn and Brook need to move on and fight Spence or move up to 154,

    Because he wasnt chatting about Boxing. It was about his personal life and the stuff that has been in the media lately.

    To tell people live on air to a terrestrial audience that Brook doesn't want the fight is disgusting. He has no shame. It's bordering on defemation.

    If he had said "Brook doesn't want to fight me for a 70/30 split, which I believe to be fair because I'm the big name", then at least that would have been more honest.

    Khan is not a honest man
    He could not speak the truth or honesty if it jumped up and wanked him off

    To be fair, they do an excellent job of that themselves.
