Dan Rafael: Mayweather/Khan won't break 1 million buys

If the Pacquiao uneventful decision hadn't taken place before fighting Khan maybe it would've bordered on a million, I doubt it at this point though.

 

It'll do as much as a Mayweather v Excusequiao rematch. Under 1M.

 

I'll focus on his american fights cause we know he can draw in Britain but outdrawing the other domestic fighters once they've built up momentum? I'm not sure.

Khan vs Garcia 6511
Khan vs Peterson 8647

A few recent fights to compare against;


Khan vs Alexander 7768 (also had Thurman and was a massive PBC production)
Khan vs Algieri 7000

He hasn't exactly grown into a superstar attraction like he believes?

-

Other fights I've quickly researched on google to compare his apparent massive drawing power =

Garcia vs Salka 7000
Garcia vs Peterson, 12,300
Matthysse vs Provodnikov 4,500 (not a big production, kinda 'cult' following fighters)

Cotto's a massive star so it's unfair but this was off a loss and against a substandard opponent, just to show Amir that he is not filling up arenas-

Cotto vs Rodriguez 11,912

(Not gonna including Cotto vs Martinez as two big names)

Canelo vs Lara 13,400
Canelo vs Angulo 14,000(?)

(We know Canelo is a massive draw but I'm not sure if it's fair to compare his baseball stadium ticket process for the Trout/Kirkland fights.)

Golovkin vs Geale 8572
Golovkin vs Munroe 12,000+

(Is Golovkin a bigger draw than Khan, it seems like it lol)

He is doing decent figures you'd imagine especially not in his home country against reasonable foes but he believes he is this massive draw too high and mighty to face Brook, who is a nobody in his eyes, he is the third fighter in the world in his head and he constantly parrots he's selling out arenas (half full) and fighting the big names (who aren't punchers)... it's farcical.

Hopefully someone can see if the viewing figures compare favourably to other fighters or display lesser drawing power.
