    I'd prefer to be KO'd than to bust my eye socket, requiring surgery to fix it. Khan gets knocked out left, right and centre, yet he's still the bigger draw than Brook. Smh!

    Those kind of KO's have long lasting effects. His punch resistance was feeble as it was, now its completely gone.

    Good sport, dude. I like your take on fights and fighters. We just don't see eye-to-eye over Khan. No big deal lol

    Should be 50/50 just because kell has matchroom behind him. Inevitably its the biggest uk platform to sell the fight. Khan should be biting his hand off for it. 60/40 khan at a push. Brook should be taking at least 40 percent back home with him though. These splits arent decided by who you think the best boxer is.

    The irony for khan is he himself has to take a low ball offer for garcia/thurman if he wants a title. Otherwise how much is he making fighting guys like jessie vargas.

    Look everyone brook has to fight for a million now...meanwhile i m getting a million in my next fight cause i ve been smart and rejected millions to fight brook.

    I swear theres something wrong with khan. I dont think hes a bad kid...hes just seriously ******ed.

    Hes no where left to go himself. Scrabbling for the pacman fight is about the only way he ll make serious coin.

    They need to sort this sport out. Mayweathers basically broke it with his cherry picking. Now you ve got guys like khan who fight the softest opponents possible...to try to get to the big money fights. They dont even care if they win anymore as long as they can get as many millions as they can.

    Tbf brooks trying the same thing with spence to an extent. He can either make 147 or he cant.

    Because people know they're likely going to see him get brutally knocked out.

    The mistake Khan made was waiting around for Mayweather who flirted a fight but was never gonna make a deal, and messed with him like that because Khan got all gobby about beating him. So Floyd just kept him hanging around for two years.... and then fought Berto... lol. Khan lost two years of his prime trying to get that fight but played a dumb game chasing it...

    And Brook is not a PPV draw either.

    Both guys were knocked out or brutally stopped in their last fights also. So what does that leave, Brook's world title? Something he defended against the WORST opposition out there, so it has little value as well especially as the likes of Thurman, Garcia, Pacquiao, Bradley etc are all still around and all still strong contenders.

    Brook is hedging his bets on the 50-50 split based on the PPV numbers against Golovkin but in reality that was an isolated event. Golovkin could have fought any UK contender and drawn such strong numbers as he was the main attraction and draw.

    I think 60-40 Khan:Brook is fair. It's probably a fight Brook wins via TKO and it'll put him in a strong bargaining position against other WW contenders too. At this stage, Brook NEEDS Khan for a big pay day.

    Famous for being a highlight reel ko
    Its like paying a striker millions for great tackling but never scoring
    Khan as had his senses scrambled many times he will need that 30 million dollars for future health care but his family are going through that as we speak
    Harry didn't at for that wedding or the parents new house or the banquet hall or the new cars and the khan family lifestyle that's all amir and you think his wife comes cheap ha ha

    Spot on. Couldnt be happier how it turned out for him. If he was willing to go in with guys and actually beat them to earn the fight. No one would have complained. Just wish there was things in place to stop it happening.

    Its a sad state of affairs when you ve got brook jumping two weight classes to fight golovkin and khan jumping up to fight canelo. When you could and should be having canelo v golovkin. And khan v brook. Madness.

    It makes Brook look weak then, he wants to fight a perceived weak WW who was knocked unconscious in his last fight? Fight a real challenge in Errol Spence or the regular established and ACTIVE welterweights. It looks like Brook is going for an easy fight and avoiding the real challenges. No wonder Khan wants to dangle the carrot in front of him and take it away.
