    Let's just say Pacquiao-Bradley II and Mayweather-Khan on the same day on May.

    That's HBO vs. Showtime

    who would have bigger numbers in PPV?

    I have to believe Mayweather-Khan would do better. Bradley is the weakest link in terms of marketability being my main reasoning.

    Probably Mayweather, Khan has good numbers and Bradley has to be the least popular elite fighter

    easily mayweather..... nobody wants to see tim bradley fight TBH. A better vote would have been pac vs marquez 5

    but we have to consider the fact that it's the same day. I think most viewers pay to see Floyd lose and pay Pac because of the excitement he brings.
    I really think that pure boxing fans will turn on to May-Khan because it's a new matchup while casual fans would go to Pac-Bradley II. And I think Bradley is gaining a lot of audience due to recent fights with Pac, Provo and Marquez while Khan fought Garcia then Diaz. I say Bradley and Khan has the same marketability numbers. What you think?

    well. pac-bradley II is much more realistic to happen than pac-marquez V. of course pac-marquez would outdo May-Khan, no doubt about it.

    Those are both horrible ppvs.

    Still can't see Khan as a viable ppv opponent for Floyd. The guy's been KO'd twice, lost to Lamont Peterson (regardless if you disagree with the decision he did not look good in the fight with his constant clinching and running), and then nearly got beat by a journeymen in Julio Diaz in his only fight at WW. How the hell do you sell a fight between Khan and Mayweather? HBO could put on a replay of Chavez-Vera and it would probably get better numbers.

    you make a point with Bradley gaining fans, but honestly idk last night on social sites like twitter and fb there was very little talk of the Pac fight, and for build up i only hear one radio show talk about this fight. I think Pac lost a lot of fans after his two losses

    Really depends on what the undercards are like, GBP are stacking theres these days so TR would really need to wheel out the big guns.

    IF they put Marquez vs Provodnikov along with Mikey Garcia vs Gamboa & Kirkland vs Andrade then they stand a chance.
