    Only if there's a stacked undercard. Otherwise, no way is that headlining fight worth $70

    He's a one in a million, but there are five billion people on the planet. Fighting Khan is taking this joke to a new level. Who is next? Erik Morales at 147?

    No, Mayweather vs. Khan is a mismatch.

    If Floyd were fighting Garcia, Lara, Pacquiao or Bradley it would be better.

    Yeah, say what you want...Khan is going to hit mayweather a lot more than usual the first maybe 3 rounds. I don't think Floyd is offensive minded enough to try and KO Khan. Interested in how the judges will see it

    I agree.

    Khan can win rds vs Mayweather......and unless Floyd sits on his shots, Khan could actually pull it off if the judges are being fair.

    Ppl talk about Cotto, and then there was the atrocious Canelo scoring, but those guys were given gift rds.....Khan can actually put hands on Floyd.:think

    Absolutely, I support him no matter who he fights. My favorite fighter, and I think Khan will do better than most. :bbb

    I would never pay 60 + dollars for a PPV. I go to a local bar and pay 10$ to watch PPV fights.

    The ppv numbers indicate that boxing is not necessarily watched by afficianados. It is watched by the same type of people that watch the world cup final live. Non-fans with plenty of money to burn. Few boxing fans will buy this type of fight, but Floyd is not marketing to that crowd, just as his legacy is not geared towards greatness. He is loved by the kind of outspoken nuthugger that talks about the fact he has never lost, and how fast he is, and his great defence.

    "look at how fast Floyd throws that left hand punchy thing, he is the best, he can't be beaten, I wanna tell my grandkids that I saw Floyd live"

    I hear that in the pubs where I go with the hope someone without a hope, chosen for that specific reason, can land the hail Mary to end this absurdity. Mosley landed something decent but was too old to finish the job. Young Mosley would have gunned Floyd down.

    Boxing has been sold out by Floyd, the promoters and the wannabees who want to save their zero for a cash out. We don't see the good fights we deserve, while UFC eats away at boxing day by day.

    Sad.

    I might just to see Amir get KTFO...
    Yeah, Floyd will destroy him. (Weird right??)

    Waiting to see how they stack the card...
    I expect more Thurman, Mares, Broner's & less Love, Bey, Jack & Smith

    40% said yes? Boxing has some really stupid fans. Idiots like these people are the reason we get PPV "headliners" like Guerrero, Rios, shot Mosley (twice), Ortiz.

    They think they're supporting boxing and supporting their guy but all you're doing is letting promoters know that people will buy garbage. Boycotting a subpar PPV is really the only power a fan has to send a message and the fans are failing. I get that you want to see your favorite fighter... but don't you want to see them against someone good? Obviously not.
