Because it's sets the stall that instead of fighting in your prime just wait till the end of your career to make the big fights and people will buy it anyway.

Fight is completely irrelevant now and at best the winner will get his shit pushed in by Connor Benn next.

If they'd actually fought in 2015 the winner might have actually got Floyd or Pacquaio but instead we were treated to Frankie Gavin and Phil Lo Greco fights instead.

To be fair, they’ve both faced massive names. GGG, Canelo, Crawford, Spence, Porter

I get your point of course
 

Laughed when this fight was made, because it was about 5 years too late.

But I'm buzzing for it now like. I've enjoyed both fighters careers. I can see Khan being too much for Brook in the early rounds and stopping him in 5 or 6. If it goes deeper, then I'd fancy Brook. Don't see it going 12 mind.

One thing that's been true of Khan's career is he is very rarely in a boring fight!

Same would have been true with Mayweather or Paq

Think they could have made those fights more interesting tbh. Canelo and GGG were just too big for the pair off them and because both have granite chins and punch like mules there was literally nothing either could do to stop them running through them. Silly fights to make where both got badly hurt. Crawford came when both fighters where shot to pieces (mainly because of those beatings).

Think prime Khan and Brook give faded Manny and Floyd a decent fight, might lose still but would probably come out of them with their health in tact.

It’s not irrelevant though. The demand has created it Otherwise it wouldn’t be on and on Ppv.

It’s a cracking 50/50 fight between two of our very best over last 15 year. . The sport is their to entertain us, I’m happy to pay the 20 quid and I can’t wait, the build up alone has entertained me.

If they weren’t two of our very best and had been getting sparked off euro level then maybe, thier last defeats were again the very elite in Crawford.

And let’s have it right btw. They fought Crawford, canelo, ggg and Christie after 2015. All p4p top ten. That’s pretty elite tbf.

Appreciate it would have Been better and the point your making btw.

I just think it’s a class 50/50 fight.

Genuinely can’t wait for tonight. Assume your not watching?

Hatton was off his chops on coke at the time and Manny was at his absolute peak, splatting people for fun. By this point Manny wasn't stopping anyone and had been splatted himself and reinvented himself as a box puncher rather than the whilwind he used to be.

Brook would have caused him problems at that point imo, he had very good timing and knew how to spoil a bit. Khan would have just been fun cause of his speed.

I'll just watch it without paying. As I said it could be a canny fight cause at least both have come down to the same level and it's almost guaranteed someone gets sparked.

Just feel as fans shouldn't really reward them for dodging the fights we want at their primes then cashing in when they are done and have no alternative big paydays left.

Five years ago and this takes place in Wembley, have a belt on the line and would feel three times as big a fight as it does now.

I get that. But I’m cool with it suppose. They have been amazing for us, particularly Khan maybe. All those big nights in America. I’m okay regarding them with me 20 quid like.
