Khan who did almost 70,000 buys on independent PPV channel in his last outing against Paul McCloskey when Sky Box Office dropped the fight in the final week reckons his clash against Judah is a much bigger sale.
‘I think we can hit about 150,000 buys for this fight,’ Khan told Boxing Futures. ‘That’s what we’re looking at because it’s a big fight.

‘Judah is a much bigger name than McCloskey and a lot more people know him. Plus it’s a unification fight and its in Vegas.
‘To get 70,000 buys on Primetime after selling the fight in three days was massive. People couldn’t even get through to book because they didn’t have enough staff to man the lines.
‘But now those who are already registered can just press the red button and they’re going to have more people working in the call centres in the build up to the fight.’

2 million Asians in the UK, If even just 10% of them buy PPV thats 200,000 PPVs and £3 million in the bank for Khan, Khan doesnt need Irish/English/ or others to buy his fights he just needs a tiny percentage of his Asian community to buy them.

I dont think you realize the purchasing power of Asians in the UK. There are not many Asian sportsman of international repute and Khan will be backed to the hilt. Not just that but he will get buys in the middle east and Pakstan.

 

...Atleast! Im not even kidding about that.
