Yes Bute vs Froch did but it was never mainstream. Khan will naturally get a lot of publicity and the fact is only David Haye can generate bigger numbers. I'm confident he could do 1,000,000.
All it tells us is that Sky and Matchroom are only interested in large-scale fights, not building the sport.
That's what undercards are for mate. Stack the cards and one day they'll be headlining themselves. Your better of trying to sell an entire card, rather than trying to gain interest in Rees v Matthews standalone. That's where VVarren went wrong (& still is) Haye Chisora could have been stacked.
I'm impressed with the fights and what the promoter and Channel 5 are doing. We get to see Eubank, Fury etc. Being on domestic TV means that everyone get's a chance to view and the fighters popularity rises. Popularity is the key. :good
Very subtle I had to read the 3 times to realise you were referring to Khan I like your humour.Then again I'm a bit on the slow side.
