    You insulted yourself by not reading and thinking.

    Boxing is not particularly interested in the worldwide PPV market because of the timezone issue. The paymasters are HBO and Showtime, they give out the big 40-60million dollar and their primary concern are sales in the US. They want the fight on at a time that people will most likely buy the fight. Combine the fact that a PPV in the US sells for 60-70 dollars compared to other countries where it is a fraction of that price then obviously the USA comes first in the priority list.

    I think you'd have to go back to the late 90s when Floyd was coming up to find anyone as lame as Khan. So, like 15 years. Pathetic. I can't believe there are people out there that actually wanna see this ****.

    hardly.

    if boxing wishes to ignore the worldwide market that other sports are exploiting, that's boxing's loss.

    you're bang on about khan being a gash opponent, although while it lasts it'll be more entertaining than recent floyd fights.

    This'll be the easiest money Floyd's made in a long, long time.

    Floyd will knock Khan out. It will be check hook to the ring post all over again, though Khan may do a forward moon walk...

    Khan is mediocre at best. Mayweather is an ATG. Khan is not.

    my point is that no one he faces returns to form after they lose. stop attempting to be clever, it's not your thing.

    According to the Daily Mail's Jeff Powell, "Money" has agreed to do battle with Khan on May 3, 2014. The fight will reportedly be made official "in the next few days," as Khan has already pulled out of his scheduled bout with Devon Alexander

    Now I'm not a big fan of the Mirror or Daily Mail since they reported a lot of false statements and mislead articles but a source from Fighthype on Leonard Ellerbe talks about the UK experience with Hatton:

    I hate to say it but don't be surprise if this fight gets made !!!

    while I agree with you that the fight would obviously not sell as much PPV at 4pm in the US. Maybe Floyd just wants to fight in the UK. I read an article quoting espinoza from showtime and he said that Showtime and TMT want to get their hands on the british boxing scene. So maybe Showtime and Floyd will take a cut in PPV sales to make a fight in the UK just to build a bigger fan base for Showtime and TMT in the UK.
    I JUST HOPE THAT IT IS NOT KHAN,I WOULD MUCH RATHER SEE BROOK VS FLOYD!
