    This is still a big fight and would sell out a stadium fairly comfortably. Yes this fight should have been made a few years ago but it is still a massive grudge match and with a huge build up which it will get then the fans will still want to see it. The fight itself I think could be important too as the loser will retire and the winner could get one big last shot of a world title.
    I'm just hoping Queen Khan can grow some balls and accept the fight!

    I don’t care much at all now, they’ve farted around with it too much.

    Both are looking for a last big payday and both think they are the bigger draw than the other so no wonder it’s been difficult to sign

    It makes me think of barker and mackin, we called for that fight for ages and then when both had losses nobody was really interested.

    Brook has lost all momentum, 2 losses followed by 1 rubber fight.

    Khan isn't very popular anymore, wasn't that popular anyway.

    It's possibly an O2 fight, certainley not a stadium.

    As much as I hate long, drawn out, overdue matchups that never transpire. If this fight got made, I'd try to avoid all the build-up, but would definitely be excited to watch the fight, even if they are both on the slide.

    It's still meaningful just about, this isn't Hopkins V Roy when were they both past 40
    A win for either is a short in the arm and could lead to another big fight..

    Sure it's a big payday fight but last big payday for the winner? Not so much. It does sadden me a bit that Brooks career has gone this way though. He could have had some massive fights at 147 post Porter and he's barely taken any of them. Garcia, Thurman etc should have all been make able

    Same for both really at 147. So many bog fights that could have been made but didn't.

    Khan will no doubt move the goal posts once again and Brook is offering to kill himself making weight by saying he'll take it at 147 if it can make it happen.

    Khan doesn't really want it, let's be honest...

    Yeah defo. I think Khan's had a slightly better career to this stage. Brook I think could be one of the most wasted talents in a generation which is a touch harsh but after he beat Porter I thought he would go to elite level or at least close to it.

    Dellboi said it best that this fight is like a hot girl from school coming up to you in her 30s and shes aged badly and thinks you should still be keen.

    Watching Amere getting laid out SPARKO by someone he has disrespected and dismissed over the years will be a very sweet moment. This fight will sell very well thank you very much. They need to make it ASAP though.

    Khan has unquestionably had the better career. I was a big Brook fan too.

    Will still watch it, won't pay for it though.

    Interest from almost everyone has dropped severely people won't be as interested to find out which fighter has regressed more
