    Because the majority, the casuals(where the real money comes from), don't follow the sport closely. It's mostly hardcore enthusiasts that vote and keep track of fighters online.

    I wouldn't compare Khan fans to Hatton's followers.

    I would buy that PPV in a heartbeat even if there's no undercard. That's a far better fight than Mayweather-Khan or Mayweather-Maidana. After that the winner should fight Mayweather. Too bad this won't happen.

    If Thurman wants to fight PPV, especially against Mayweather he needs to build his name up to a worldwide audience.

    Winning 2 or 3 high profile fights and looking good doing so, that would put him right in the mix.

    Just read Khan said i stood up to Andre Wards and Angulos punches, and Ward denied ever sparring Khan:patsch Amir Con is appropriate surname for him...Ward would KTFO him easy even with all the headgear in the world, every time i want to like Khan he comes up with deluded stuff...funny thing is a bet Khantards believe him...

    I'm not even going to watch the fight, let alone pay money. That's because it's a mismatch. We all know the result beforehand: Floyd by KO. So why watch it?

    If you are going to say the things you did about Pacquiao's opponents you should also mention Canelo being drained, Marquez being cheated on the scales, and Cotto and Mosley being post-prime against Floyd.

    Khan is a joke opponent. In mentioning Khan's hand speed are we meant to forget he has the chin and power of a malnutritioned kindergarten girl?

    You say he isn't ready but it's quite obvious he beats both Khan and maidana easily

    Because he is not a big enough draw yet (He can be if he keeps winning)
    He does not have a belt
    Who did he beat?
    Khan and Miadana both have names on their resume that you can recognize


    In 2015 it could be him and Danny Garcia as Floyds opponents

    When it comes down to it it is about the money and who will sell PPV and Thurman does not help Floyd with that at least not now.

    Cotto does big numbers vs Floyd
    Canelo rematch after a few more wins does big numbers vs Floyd
    Khan and Miadana does decent numbers

    Maidana will KO Thurman out cold IMAO. Khan is washed up beyond repair. I would favor both Thurman and Maidana over him. Floyd will KO him too.

    Yes they do

    These Floyd haters seriously think he is ducking 100 boxers. They think he should build a time machine and go back 30 years ago to fight boxers and if he doesn't he's ducking them

    Seriously

    The clowns on this forum are nuts
