    I didnt say "ALL" Asians would buy the fight, Just that about 10% of them would. With regard to McCLoskey it was 70,000 PPV and 99% of them were probably Asian buys, Irish and others wont pay that kind of money for a boxing match.

    Don't forget that your average Asian household has about 20 people living in it so you can cut your number of ppv buyers for starters :deal (yes racism)

    10% of Asians in the UK are going to sit there at 4am watching this fight on an unknown TV channel. I bet 95% of Asians have never even heard of Primetime and you think 10% of them are going to buy the ****er? Your maths is proper ****ed mate.

    If Lazarus of all people didn't pay for it then most Asian's wont have. I'd say about 80% of the buys were from Irish at least. He's not gonna do "10% of all Asians in the UK" on Primetime because 10% of all Asians won't buy it

Khan outsold Froch on Primetime and that was just with 4 days promotion.

    I'm not saying ALL asians, I'm saying ALL of the 10% you mentioned won't buy it.

    I don't even pay, man.

    But then again, I don't pay for any PPV's (apart from a few).

    I think he'll do similiar to the McCloskey one, but not double.

    Then again.... if it is advertised on CH5, you never know.

    a) Not all Asians are Pak
    This content is protected
    . So the 2m goes down already.

    b) Khan doesn't get all the PPV money - take away Primetime's fee and other factors.

    c) Many Asians don't like boxing.

    d) Of those Asians who do like boxing and Khan, not everyone lives in adifferent household. Also, people will be more inclined to watch in a group.

    e) 0400 in the morning. Also, I doubt that it'll be on PPV in many Asian countries. And also, he chose Britain, which distances himself IMO.

    For all these reasons, he will not get 150,000 PPVs. That would be a PB for him as well (don't know what the Kotelnik/Salita numbers were).

    asians sleep early, they dont really saty up drinking/partying (seriously) and alot of my asian mates dont even like khan tbh, some may be envious and some think he is too cocky, alot of the girls seem to like him though, asian or not....but doubt he will do those numbers, would be good if he did.

    The fight is at 4am.. shouldn't all these Asian's be getting a good night's sleep before they get up early for another 12 hour shift on the phones? :think

    10% of Asians roughly should buy the fight, Like I said 70,000 PPV for McCLoskey im sure 99% of them came from Asian buyers because how many PPV did McCLoskey sell before that fight? Zero! Also Irish dont have that kind of disposable income to waste on a fight.

    The reasons why approx 10% of Asians will buy this fight is because its against an American, Asian people are enamored by the US and Americans and if Khan is fighting an American in America then they will buy the fight like there is no tomorrow.
    Asians have no interest in seeing Khan against domestic hypejobs, They want to see Khan fighting and beating Americans in America.

    Wait. I actually didn't think it was possibly to top '10% of all Asians in the UK are going to buy this fight'

    But now you're claiming...

    99% (69,300) of the PPV buys were by Asians. Bravo.
