"I"m told Mayweather-Khan is a done deal" Mannix SI

Kell Brook would be a better fight

 

Probably but Kell Brook isn't that well known to casual fans in the UK let alone in America. A lot has already been invested into building up Khan stateside & im sure those parties are going to want to see some of there money back. The phrase 'cashing out' springs to mind.

Also it always makes me laugh when I see people saying "he doesnt deserve it" ....its a business! If the numbers make sense then it happens & if they don't then it doesn't. From the little I know about boxing even I can get that concept.

 

Midana didint do it. I'm not saying Rios can't but I would give Khan the benefit of doubt if he made it through midana.

 

He's not fighting Khan. That would be a joke of a fight. Khan hasn't had a decent win since his last 2 loses. He gets staggered when his wife kisses him on the cheek, ffs.

 

really? just terrible. that fight should be on nbc, cbs, america. 'floyd making a dash for the easy euro-cash. no risk, high reward. 'will NOT watch. 'will NOT read. 'don't care.

 

Was anybody really doubting that Floyd would fight Khan at some point? There isn't exactly a laundry list of guys at 147 for him to face either.

Not a great fight, kinda "bleh" as nobody who knows about boxing would seriously consider Khan a threat to Mayweather. But it's not like Bob Arum is going to call Showtime back any time soon so this is what we got.

 

Good, let Showtime pay Floyd's $40 million guarantee by trying to sell this crap.

After main stream fans have been burned by Marquez, Ortiz, Guerrero, and even the Alvarez fight (for lack of drama and action), there just won't be a push for this fight. 750k buys at best.

 

Khan-Judah was on ppv at 4am on primetime (A channel nobody really knows) and it did 250k buys. May-Khan on Sky ppv will do alot more than 250k. May in US on his own will do 1m. Khan with alot of promo and hype will guarantee that. I don't know what Khans situation is with the islamic nations but with floyd they'd all be watching. Its a big fight, much bigger than any other opponent bar pacquiao. It won't be a flop and I guarantee it will never do below 1m buys.

 

USA + UK this fight will do well over 1m PPV

 

It's not uk it's usa + muslim ppv a lot of it will come from ****stan

 

Khan would sell better than any of the above. Fact.

Still a **** fight, but I won't believe it's signed until the press release.
