    With Khan featuring in the FOTY vs Maidana could he and the winner of Bradley vs Alexander now sell out a big Vegas venue in July 2011 in the 140 final show down to who is the 140 King?

    What you guys think? Has Khan won new fans over in the U.S?

    they will need to promote that heavily..but doesn't July clash with Ramadhan? Maybe at the end of that month, Khan has a date around April right? Depending how that goes..
    It sucks that a young active boxer is fighting twice a year..

    Yeah Khan needs at least 3 fights a year.

    Well it certainly should as it's a fantastic match up. Dont know how much the casual fans know Khan, Bradley and Alexander though? it would probably need quite alot of adverticing and possibly a 24/7.

    HBO should invest alot in advertising and buliding this fight, these are the future stars of the sport.

    Maybe a mini low budget 24/7 would be cool. :yep

    It would depend on a lot of things like how good the Bradley/Alexander fight turns out to be, how much money the promoters invest in the build up, the overall climate of the sport at that particular time, etc...

    It should as the winner will be the best light welterweight in the world. Heavy promotion and a 24/7 should suffice.

    Not even close. It would need heavy promotion to do so and that would likely be lo$ing proposition.

    Well i would love that also but Khan signing with GBP and now on HBO dates its hard for him to bring the big fights over here for now.

    Plus I dont think Bradley or Alexander would come over here to U.K to fight Khan, not happening.

    Mandalay Bay would be a sellout. Khan has buzz and if Bradley-Alexander is as good as it is on paper then no doubt they could sellout Mandalay Bay. I don't know, may'be I'm being too optimistic.
