Promoter says huge fight would sell 40,000 tickets
Promoter Eddie Hearn believes a fight between Kell Brook and Amir Khan would be big enough to be on pay-per-view. However, the Matchroom boss does not expect Khan to take up the challenge as he is confident Brook would be too good for the former world champion.
"Money talks. We've sold 10,000 for Kell Brook v Matthew Hatton," he said. "I could sell 40,000 tickets for Kell Brook against Amir Khan. It's a pay-per-view fight."It's probably one of the few fights that is going to bring back pay-per-view television to British boxing. Will Amir Khan take it? I wouldn't imagine so.
"It has to be a pay-per-view, outdoor fight, because he's got big revenue coming from HBO in America. So to bring it to seven, eight, nine o'clock at night, there has to be big money in the UK. With 40,000 fans and pay-per-view TV, that's a fight that can happen."Let me tell you, Kell would absolutely destroy Amir Khan. We'll fight him. We'll fight him next, 100% and make it happen outdoors with a crowd of 40,000 or 50,000." - http://www1.skysports.com
