In other words, Hearn isn’t going to attempt to negotiate the Brook-Spence fight. Spence says he doesn’t care that he’ll be fighting Brook in the UK. By Allan Fox: IBF welterweight champion Errol Spence Jr. (22-0, 19 KOs) is promised a purse of $3.5 million for his next fight in December or January, according to Dan Rafael. Eddie Hearn, promoter of IBF welterweight champion Kell Brook (36-1, 25 KOs), is making moves to secure a venue for the mandatory defense against unbeaten Errol Spence (21-0 18 KOs). Miguel Cotto vs. Juan Manuel Marquez talks are potentially heating up again. Cotto is not going to fight Kell Brook.” Then there’s a potential welterweight clash with Amir Khan, who has stated he wants a tune-up before facing Brook and has also made unrealistic demands, according to the promoter. Spence will have to travel to the UK to fight Brook, who himself was forced to cross over to the United States in 2014 when he captured the IBF title with a close points decision over Shawn Porter in Los Angeles. Kell Brook will likely defend his welterweight title against mandatory challenger Errol Spence Jr. with a purse bid looming on Feb. 7, promoter Eddie Hearn told RingTV.com on Tuesday. Porter (30-2-1, 17 KOs) captured the WBC belt in September 2018, beating Danny Garcia by unanimous decision in a back-and-forth battle that was one of the best fights of the year. A purse bid scheduled for February 14 was averted after the two fighters were able to come to terms for the big fight. The biggest problem with Brook fighting at 154, admits Hearn, is the lack of big  money opponents. “He keeps asking us to do things (to fight him),” said Hearn. Hearn has been saying repeatedly recently that the purse split for the Brook vs. Spence fight will be 75/25. Before then, Forbes reported that he made $1 million in his title win vs. Danny Garcia. Hello anyone? Kell Brook vs. Errol Spence Deal is Very Close, Says Hearn. According to Celebrity Net Worth, Spence has a net worth exceeding $4 million and Porter has a net worth exceeding $3 million. Is this a better fight? Brook's performance led to widespread speculation that he would never fight at welterweight again and instead rise up to the junior middleweight division.

There’s no word what the ultimate purse split will be for the Brook vs. Spence fight, but it’s not likely going to be much different than the 75/25 split that the International Boxing Federation has marked for the fight it had gone to the purse bid on Tuesday.
