Eddie Hearn ? the man who brought British boxing back to the masses with Carl Froch?s Wembley blockbuster against George Groves ? believes he can set up three more domestic super fights in 2015.
The Matchroom promoter hopes to convince a ?deluded? Amir Khan that Kell Brook is a more financially viable option than Floyd Mayweather or Manny Pacquiao.
He is convinced Scott Quigg and Carl Frampton will finally get together for a super bantamweight world title unification clash in the summer ? and is targeting a heavyweight battle of Britain between Tyson Fury and Olympic gold-medallist Anthony Joshua by the end of next year.
When Hearn speaks, it is more than just bluster.
He helped negotiate the proposed ?10m showdown between Fury and David Haye at the Phones 4U Arena last year.
That fight ultimately fell through when Haye suffered two injuries, but it was a measure of Hearn?s matchmaking prowess.
Froch-Groves was another ?10m clash that forced boxing back into the public consciousness in a manner rarely seen since Chris Eubank?s classic rivalry with Nigel Benn.
Hearn?s promotional skills even turned the low-key spat between Tony Bellew and Nathan Cleverly ? two fighters without world titles ? into a pay-per-view event last month.
He believes British boxing is sitting on three more potential stadium clashes ? and is keen to cut through the politics to make them happen.
Khan says Brook fight will only happen on his terms
Hearn insists Brook has earned the right to major fights
He claims Khan is running scared of a Wembley fight with IBF welterweight champion and bitter rival Brook.
Last week the 28-year-old from Bolton claimed the much-anticipated clash would only happen on his terms.
Khan said: ?I?m the one who dictates what my opponent gets, not you dictating to me how much I get.
?Everything goes on my terms. That?s something they have to understand.?
Hearn responds: ?He?s just deluded. Firstly what does it matter? What does it matter about control?
?I don?t care. It?s a co-promotion between Matchroom Promotions, Khan promotions or I don?t give a monkey?s promotions.
?The fact is, if he wants to spoil the chance to earn more money than he could in any other fight, including Floyd Mayweather, and he doesn?t want to give the British public what they want then let him go ahead and become even more unpopular. Because that is what he does ? just isolates himself from people.
?The most important thing is Amir Khan is petrified of Kell Brook.
?He doesn?t want to fight Kell. Kell will knock him out. And when he does, he will finish Amir?s career.
?Amir knows if he loses to Mayweather, he can come back and fight Kell.
?When Kell knocks Amir out, it?s done.
?I don?t believe Amir will fight him. I think he will run from Kell.
?And if that?s the case then he loses the chance to give the British public what they want and he loses the chance to fight for the world title.?
