    It'll crack a mil. Khan is easy to market to the casuals as long as they play up his talents.

    If Floyd fights a Mexican or Puerto Rican fighter: 1mil+
    Anyone else: <1mil.

    especially after that kirkland fight. not a good opponent but ESPN played that KO alllllllll over their network for like a week straight. My parents brought it up to me in a convo which is great because they don't watch boxing.

    obviously they like something about him since he's the ppv king and 800K ppvs is considered a flop for him

    :nod People should check out what kind of PPV numbers Floyd and Pac were doing at the same age.

    Answer, neither of them had been on PPV yet.

    probably close to 1 million which would be a big success
    Do you think Canelo could fight Robert Guerrero and get over 800K ppv buys?

    Canelo is a big star within the boxing fans and Mexican community, but not to the casual boxing fan in the US. Most people really know him as the guy that lost to Mayweather.

    Mayweather is a real crossover star as well as Pacquiao, but Canelo isn't on that level yet.
