    i highly doubt it will be a UK fight?

    i would bet Middle/Far East to try and cash in because it really is not a relevant fight...Pac is 38 and without a KO for 8 years and not really a WW(perfect for Khan)..and Khan is miles away from a belt and has lost more fights than he has won in recent years..

    dreadful fight by 2 boxers 5 years past their best looking for mugs to give them a pay day...i wont be one of them

    I think this could sell out a stadium in the UK, Bolton or something

    Advertise it right and the casuals by the bucket load should buy the PPV too

    Khan is still one of the most recognizable names in british boxing and pac is known by most too so i think it could make lots of money in the UK, more so than America anyway ?

    Almost certainly going to be in some soulless Dubai venue for millions if it happens.

    can you imagine sitting outside in Bolton for 3 or 4 hours on a freezing April night?no thanks

    i doubt the Pacman would fancy that either when there are hundreds of venues to choose from!

    i would rule out a UK fight..it would not surprise me if it was even Macau or somewhere ,they are crazy for betting and Pac out there and would generate $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$s

    Good fight. Pacquaio still a very good fighter. Khan raises his profile win or lose.
    People slate Khan for avoiding Brook but fights Canelo and Manny (not saying Brook is ducking either as hes fought GGG and Spense). If KHAN wins this fight (which i think he has a good chance of doing so.) he would be biggest name in UK for casuals. Could demand 80% from Brook esp if brook loses.

    Unless Manny wants to pay 50% tax of his earnings it ain't ever happening in the UK
    Its that dubai money and at h this fight flop all the Asian TV have no ppv models its free to air
    The UK ppv will bomb and I don't think it will be USA ppv either

    Khan can demand whatever he wants but he wont get it!!

    without a belt he is pretty much irrelevant in real boxing terms,he is only interested in $$$$$ ...

    I assume you believe if Khan loses and brook beats Spence Brook can demand 80%?

    Khan should be able to outpoint Manny, Khan has never lost to a southpaw fighter and does well against them..

    Main keys to victory for Khan is not to give away his reach advantage and pepper Manny with jab while keep circling him..
    It's a battle of the feet too.. Khan has to be prepared to move for full 12..

    And ofcourse stay away from that straight left.. Khan usually has trouble with right hooks..
