Khan-Molina-616K viewers vs Kell Brook-Porter 514K viewers!!! Step in line Kell!

Who gives a sh_it? Khan-Kell is the fight to make and it'll be huge in Britain.

 

Khan hasn't had a big win since 2011 against Judah.

Kell has just beaten a fighter who was on the up and Khan is still riding on a wave of victories that came 3-4 years ago.

Plus America seem to have taken to Brook.

 

How many fights has Khan had in the US?

He's not in any position to demand a favourable split in the UK, I can assure you of that. And the fight has no PPV potential in the US.

 

Explain to me why ******s watched Garcia Salka but not this?

I had a sneaking suspicion that Porter Brook would pull bad numbers...

 

Probably first time of seeing him fight, plus Porter doesn't have a big fanbase.

But after the fight the overall response seems to be very positive from the US.

 

Same here.

 

The British media are off Brooks case is part of the reason...


The next morning there was literally 0 news in the British media about us having a new world champion...

 

Name value. Porter and Brook probably aren't too widely known to the "casual" fan. Casuals don't worry about match ups, they just look for that one name.

 

I didn't say he was a bigger name, I said Khan isn't in any position to demand a favourable split.

Brook is the champion. Khan is the challenger. Brook has been filling out arenas in the UK for the past few years, Khan has been boxing in the US.

Nobody likes Khan. People like Brook.

Sky stopped showing Khan fights because he was insistent upon being on Sky Box Office (PPV). His last fight on there done 75,000 buys. It made a staggering loss.

For comparison, Haye Valuev done 800k.
