Can someone who is more informed than I am tell me why is it okay for 97g to turn down 15 milli for Canelo because he ain't getting ppv % yet he ain't get none of that UK ppv money from Brook and only made 5 milli? :jbhmm:


I thought he was a boxer and not businessman and all that :jbhmm:

Maybe im not as smart as you #gggoodboys but if he is so confident in beating Canelo why not take the 15 milli(Career high) get that W and rematch for more $$$$$$:jbhmm:

Dan Rafael chat wrap 1/20:

- Fight isn't signed yet, but Pacquiao vs. Horn is happening.
- Arum wants Valdez to fight Donaire next. HBO turned it down for March. It could still wind up on the Pacquiao undercard, with Pacquiao-Horn taking place in Australia and Valdez-Donaire and other televised bouts taking place in the US.
- Broner vs. Pacquiao would be a good fight, but doesn't think they are going to make it.
- Chocolatito vs. Cuadras rematch? Chocolatito wins easier.
- Chocolatito vs. Ricardo Lopez? Love that fight. Lopez in a tough one.
- Which sells more PPV's: Canelo-GGG or Canelo-JCC? Canelo-GGG.
- ESPN has quality control of the GB cards for their fight series. They can't put on whatever main events and undercards they want. Must get approved.
- Had DeGale winning 114-112, but has no issues with a draw. That is a very fair result.
- Brook vs. Khan at 154? Doesn't think that Khan wants to fight at that heavy of a weight.
- Would like to see Brook vs. Khan. It is a big fight.
- Brook vs. Pacquiao? Bad matchup for Manny.
- Like to see Brook fight: Khan, Garcia-Thurman winner, Manny, and Spence.
- Lomachenko and Jizreel Corrales are talking about fighting. Likely could be at Nation Harbor, Maryland.
- Will we see Lomachenko vs. Gervonta Davis? As Floyd said they aren't pursuing that fight. Floyd knows that Lomachenko would toy with Davis. Has no problem if Davis isn't ready for that fight yet.
- Hoping Davis' first defense is in Baltimore. It would be a good crowd. A fight vs. Gamboa would be good.
- Lomachenko vs. Floyd at 130? 50/50.
- Fight he most wants to see at 168-175? Stevenson vs. Kovalev.
- Kovalev says he will never move up to HW because he isn't big enough. He has no plans to move up from 175.
- Brook vs. Spence? Tough fight, but lean towards Spence.
- What is next for Crawford? Maybe fighting in April. The fight that should be made is vs. Diaz.
- Hearn says the announcement of either HBO or Showtime for the Joshua vs. Klitschko fight should come any day.
- Danny Garcia being silent is basically saying it is okay for Angel to act the way he does. Doesn't think the NY commission should give Angel a licence based on how he acts.
- The WBC says they are not going to interfere with Angel being in Danny's corner, but may punish him.
- Rueben Guerrero would have kicked Angel's butt if he got out of line like he did vs. Thurman. Angel is a baffoon. Thurman showed great restraint.
- Mercer vs. Tua? Great fight, probably Tua.
- Paul Williams vs. Andrade? Williams.
- No rehydration clause for Canelo-JCC. Just a $1 million per pound penalty on the weigh in.
- Dorticos is supposed to fight Shumenov next. Dorticos' team won the purse pid.
- Unhappy with Lemieux vs. Stevens because it is not a main event fight and to start the year HBO is giving us garbage.
- Harder puncher: Lemieux or Stevens? Lemieux.
- Possibility we see Stevenson vs. Joe Smith in April.
- Thinks Rob Brant is ready to fight a contender.

:ohhh:

Source? Or you just guessing?

It would be dope but it would surprise me a bit cause Beterbiev usually fights in Montreal, he's pretty much a hometown fighter in Montreal already

IBF welterweight champion Kell Brook (36-1, 25 KOs) is still undecided on what he intends to do next.

Brook is facing a looming deadline to make a mandatory defense against undefeated Olympian Errol Spence (21-0, 18 KOs).

The Sheffield fighter has been out of the ring since last September's big showdown with middleweight king Gennady Golovkin. Brook jumped up by two weight divisions to challenge Golovkin for his collection of 160 belts. He performed much better than many had expected, but suffered a fractured orbital bone and was stopped in the fifth round.

The fight Brook really wants is not Spence. He wants a high profile domestic showdown with Amir Khan (31-4, 19 KOs).

Brook has been chasing after Khan for several years and it's one of the biggest fights to be made on UK soil. Spence is regarded as one of the most talented fighters in the sport, but the financials in facing him are not even close to what a collision against Khan would generate.

Because of his tough struggles to make the welterweight limit, there is even the possibility that Brook will vacate his title and jump up to 154-pounds - but he prefers to stay at 147 to defend his hard-earned title.

"I know I have a mandatory with Errol Spence. He's a very talented fighter but not really heard of in the UK or even America, but we all know he can fight. It's hard to get up for guys like this, because he doesn't have the name yet. I want the big money fights if I'm going to make 147 pounds," Brook told ESPN.

"I want fellow Brit Amir Khan. I come to America and everyone here tells me they want to see that fight. Can you imagine what it's like in Britain? The demand for that fight is so great. I don't want to let it slip through my fingers. I wouldn't be happy if I ended my career and let that slip through my fingers. I need them big fights to get up for."

"We've gone back and forth but the fact is Khan's ego is so great. He wanted to walk out second but I'm the champion. He's trying to sit there like he holds all the aces. He wants more money, he wants this, he wants that. I can bend my back to a certain degree but not that much. I know being in the position with Spence that I don't want to keep him sitting there. I know the feeling when you have to wait and wait and you can't get your chance. Spence deserves his chance. But I really want to fight Khan next."

Brook is willing to wheel and deal to get a Khan fight finalized. The negotiations have not been easy, because he claims Khan is attempting to dictate everything in their discussions.

"I'll even bend a little on the negotiations, and I shouldn't because I'm the one who is unbeaten at welterweight and champion. He's been knocked out. Three times. He can't dictate to me. I am very passionate about hurting this guy. I want to stand over him while he's laid out on the canvas after I knock him out and say to him, 'I told you so! I told you this would happen!' I'm going to knock him clean out. Brook-Khan is exciting. The trash talk, the press conferences, the weigh-in, the fight. It would all be so electric," Brook said.
