Apparently, former world champion Amir Khan wasn't done setting the record straight when it comes to negotiations. After accussing 8-division former world champion Manny Pacquiao of lying about failed negotiations for a potential fight, Khan set his sights on IBF welterweight champion Kell Brook. "And now to Kell Brook. Eddie Hearn is cool. I had a good chat with him at the Smith fight in Liverpool and negotiations started before Christmas. I want it, Eddie wants it, Sky [Sports] wants it, all the fans want it, but then Kell decides to fight Kevin Bizier, who's lost to Jo Jo Dan twice," Khan explained, suggesting that Brook is now preventing a potential All-British mega-fight from taking place on June 4 due to his decision to move forward with a March 26 title defense against mandatory challenger Kevin Bizier.
"Never known of a world champion to have 3 bum defenses back to back; make that 4 if you include Diego Chaves. At least fight someone in top 10. Mandatories can step aside; happens all the time. I was mandatory to Floyd [Mayweather] for 2 years with WBC. We could have fought in April, May, or first week of June before Ramadan. I've got a potential fight with Garcia if he wins tomorrow for the WBC. I've been WBC number 1 for 2 years. It's about time I got my opportunity to avenge that loss," Khan explained in another series of his posts on his official Twitter page. "Brook fight could still happen this year, but Brook wants 50/50 split with me. Wake up, son, and smell the coffee! Be realistic and make it happen. Even Eddie told you your not worth that! Fact is they are fooling the fans fighting all these bums on the back of my name to hype his fights and profile, saying I'm running scared etc. Brook-Alexander called off 3 times, he turned down Bradley, Rios fight didn't happen, and he retired poor Marquez by mentioning his name too much. Seriously guys, imagine if I fought Jo Jo Gallagher, Gavin, and Bizier. Id rather retire. I want the big fights and will continue to do so. Got let down by Floyd 3 times, then Pacquiao, but plenty big fights out there, including Brook, Garcia, and some other huge fights too."
