    brook's been running after the khan pay day since his mom gave birth to him

    history tells you brook wants that khan fight more than anything

    if spence beats brook then he doesnt deserve the khan payday anyway. brook has a padded record and fought nobodies his entire career at 147. he is the senchenko of uk, holding that belt hostage and never stepping up.

    brook needs khan, khan doesn't need brook.

    GGG > canelhoe
    Stopped on your feet > put out cold
    147 title in a very hot / hard division > 140 title in mediocre division which was not earnt in said division and held all advantages

    Brook wanting a fight with Khan is a negative?

    Both around the same weight and domestic rivals, it makes very good money so it makes complete sense to want that fight and to settle the argument once and for all. It would be Khans biggest payday, FACT, no disputing that, so what other excuses are there?

    If Spence Jr beats Brook then Brook will move up to 154 and still get very good money on Sky with Matchroom and Khan will forever be remembered for ducking him, that's a fact, British boxing fans will never forget that.

    Brook doesn't need Khan, he wants Khan, huge difference, let's see what Khan does next, no Pacquaio fight, no Brook fight, so the big money fight isn't there for him. He could get average money and get knocked out by Thurman but we all know he won't take that fight.

    Khan and Khan fans like you are delusional, Khan isn't a draw, he is not elite, if he was he could fight ANYBODY and still make huge money, like Mayweather and Pacquaio have done, those two were/are draws, they generate money.

    Khan needs a name next to him to make big fights and big money, Khan was the "opponent" in the Canelo fight and got "opponent" money for being left unconscious. Khan and his fans need to realise Khan alone is not worth that much now, he is damaged goods, coming off a brutal KO and is blatantly ducking his domestic rival Brook.

    Let's wait and see what he does next, let's see the opponent and the purse and then come back and tell me Khan isn't a fool.

    This is what melts my feeble little mind when it comes to Khan and his fans..

    Forget what Brook is getting or even deserves for a minute, Khan would be getting a career high pay day for fighting Brook, a huge PPV, a domestic fight that would live long in the memory.

    If Brook hasn't fought anybody, hasn't done anything and this is an easy night for Khan (like Khan and his fans say) then why not just take the CAREER HIGH PAYDAY, end the debate once and for all and laugh in the faces of Brook, Hearn and all the doubters?

    Khan says he wants big fights and big money, well he isn't getting a bigger money fight than Brook. Even Pacquaio wouldn't have been a higher payday.

    bottom line is brook needs to khan

    no, brook does need khan. brook not willing to go to the usa and risk it all. what happened to brook v rios IN THE UK? What happened to brook v vargas IN THE UK? What happened to brook vs chaves IN THE UK?

    he likes to hide in the UK and is terrified of giving up his hometown decisions. if brook had balls and take the big fights in the US then i would agree with you. Brook doesnt have options.

    khan is a draw. he is the money fight for a lot of fighters. like it or not he provides entertainment. danny garcia is on record saying a rematch is definitely something he would consider because it's a money fight. broner want some too. canelo vs khan did decent, 650k buys. and that is because of khan too, not just canelo. Mayweather fought berto for his last fight and did only 400k buys. that tells you something.

    Pac vs Khan is bigger money than Brook vs Khan imo, that Brook vs Khan match is still big but nowhere near as big as it was a year and a half ago. When Brook beat porter and Khan was chasing may weather that was when that fight was huge.

    Khan is no longer a draw what did his Algeria fight draw? What ppv has khan headlined where he was the A-side?

    The only draw in the WW division is PAC and even his support is floundering at the moment.

    im not saying khan is the ppv king. im just saying he is still a decent draw and brook needs him. be it the b side of a fight, people will still come to watch. khan algeiri is a crap show to begin with. but if you put khan in with a danny or a broner they will both do good money. hearn and brook's inability to secure big ww fights for brook tells you why he needs khan.
