    Did Hatton-Mayweather not do 880k total? If so, not a chance in hell.

    so it's more than 3 times cheaper than in US and that means KHAN vs Mayweather can't make anything close to what Cavelo vs Floyd did.

    Yes and the Hatton fight was massive over here. The casuals all thought he was going to win.

    Everyone knows the potential Khan fight is a joke and it will do a fraction of what the Hatton fight did.

    What you pay stateside is daylight robbery! NO ONE WILL EVER PAY THAT HERE IN THE UK. It would set a very nasty precedent & ultimately be disastrous for SKY, there would be uproar over it.

    We are a tiny country with at least 80% less population than the U.S. juxtaposed with the fact that to get SKY you have to subscibe to a package & that ai'nt cheap, SKY have been hemorrhaging accounts by the thousands, it's can now be viewed as a luxury in most households who are being squeezed from all directions. Even £15.00 on top of the monthly package will get the missis screaming the house down.

    But it's all xtra $$$$$$$ to that big fat pot!

    Nope if Lewis Tyson didn't or Bruno Tyson fights didn't no way. Hatton did because he was the most loved boxer in British history, Tyson was a bigger draw then Mayweather and Lewis and Bruno a bigger draw then Khan. Khan hasn't that much clout in the UK now very few rate him nor is he likable i'd be very surprised if it did anything like 700k my guess is about 500k buys from the UK

    Well like i'm just basing it on past numbers that Hatton or Lewis have done against the biggest name fighter. Hatton did close to 1m Lewis and Tyson was something like 750k i think. Khan at best will do 500k
