    With this being a Khan fight week we know for sure this is gonna be mentioned non stop by Eddie and the Sky hype machine.

    But honestly how much do you care at this point?
    For me i think the ship has set sail about a year back when Hearn was talking about doing it in May in a stadium in the north.

    Now though Brook has lost his IBF title and is probably at a disadvantage at welter and while I don't have an ill feelings towards Brook he comes across quite cringey in his desperation to have this fight made.

    Where as Khan i still get the feeling he still feels above Brook and that he would rather fight Pacquiao which he may well get because he is a still a big name. That being said he has got a chip on his shoulder for feeling above Brook for a man who has not been a world champion for 6 years.

    To finish up Khan vs Brook while still a good fight has lost a vast amount of interest for me it has dragged on for too long no title will be in the line and Brook while probably at a disadvantage with the weight. It could have once sold out any stadium in the country but now it is likely to be done on a cold December evening at Manchester Arena say it all really.

    The fight is about 6-7 years too late, will be for the Northern Budgie Cage Bragging Rights Belt and of no interest now.

    The only purpose is to fleece the PPV Mugs

    Id still like to see it, not a headline PPV fight though unless its stacked with a quality undercard of good match ups but even then would it do decent numbers ?

    If this fight was on at the bottom of my garden I’d draw the curtains.

    With a decent undercard they could still fill a stadium or at least a big arena with this.

    People still want to see Khan get KO'ed.

    I`m interested but don`t think it will worth the £19.00 they will charge PPV viewers for it, Khan will always lose to a big puncher, his chin is weak and he always makes mistakes but Brook cannot evade the jab so that will makes it a flawed but competitive spectacle.

    Couldn't care one iota for it.

    The brainwashed will still part with their hard earned nevertheless.

    When will the sheeple wake up!!!

    I actually signed to fight pass in anticipation for this a few years ago! I got fleeced of that 30 quid haha.

    It's still an ok fight but it shouldn't be PPV anymore. Another non title matchroom ppv coming out way i guess.

    Im bored to death of it to be honest...so many years they have been talking. However if the fight got made i would probably get sucked in to all the hype and get the ppv!

    I am way past caring, it is years too late, both are past their bests and have been damaged.

    This is a fight for Khan, Brook, Hearn and Sky to line their pockets with another PPV.

    Brook at 147 spoils the fight. Should be catch-weight
