On a recent interview and now with SkySports... Another advantage Khan wants in the fight is he doesnt want Brook to hydrate more than 10 pounds for the fight. He put that to Matchroom and Brook reluctantly agreed or the fight wont happen. Is there anything else this guy doesnt want? next time he will say Brook no training 1 week before the fight, or state brook can only wear particular pillow gloves or he is not fighting. What a diva this guy is. WHy cant he just make the fight and fight the normal rules instead of putting all these demands to make it more even for him to win! what a arsehole
Brook only has himself to blame. He has been looking desperate for so long and Khan is just taking advantage. Obviously i think Khan is a ***** but he will try and get whatever he can
Brook at 147 and a 10lbs limit rehydration clause is crazy. Brook loses this fight on those terms. He will be a weight drained mess
Brook chasing the Khan fight is no different to Khan chasing the Pac fight or the Mayweather fight. Still hope that Brook publicly says yes, wont change the fight in anyway for IMO. Khan still boxes Brooks head off for maybe 3 rounds possibly more, then as he slows down Brook sparks him. I wouldnt rule out Brook catching him earlier however !
Brook being restricted to how much weight he can gain does not make Khans chin any stronger it will just delay the inevitable IMO.
I blame Hearn and Adam Smith/Sky for this crap- actually more Smith to be fair as Adam went on record that he was the one pushing to get Khan on board. How they didn’t build a Brook fight into the 3 fight contract with reasonable conditions included for that fight I will never know. Now Khan has got them over a barrel as he’s got one more fight under the contract and could potentially demand another bum opponent. Infact, that’s what’s probably going to happen isn’t it - he won’t fight Brook. Amir will probably pull Eddies pants down and do a runner afterwards back to Haymon or even Arum to get sparked against a Thurman or Spence before retiring.
The part where he doesn't want him to hydate more than 10lbs. Is this a next day weigh in I.e 24hrs after day before weigh in. If so it's only like any IBF world title fight.
You have to wonder what Khan’s mentality is going into this fight. Seems to be trying to get as many advantages as possible before he’s even stepped in the ring. Surely he should back himself at 147lbs without the clause.
But this isnt an IBF title fight. Khan is already dragging Brook to 147 and adding in the re hydration clause is just doubling down making sure Brook is a total shell.
But this isn't an IBF world title fight. To make these demands on a non IBF title fight is ridiculous. It's a bad move by team brook if they agree. Making 147 is hard enough and that should have been the end of it.
no chance still a great move... career high pay day and still able to KO Khan. Khan shouldnt be forced to go up in weight, its Kell that wants the fight the most if he wants it then he can fight at 147, a weight that Brook said he can make and is happy to face him at.
News just in Amirs people have been in touch with Eddie, couple more things he wants before they fight Kell can only train on Mondays and Wednesday's and not allowed to do any running weather it be in the treadmill or on the road while in camp.
