    i think there's a small chance of Khan-Floyd happening in the UK, even if it would be a HUGE money fight

    Too much money to be made fighting in Vegas for Floyd to fight over here

    If he did it would be Kell brook not Khan.

    As opposed to Yank land, where the people are pigs per se, never mind boxing fans.

    ROFLMAO Floyd will never fight outside of Vegas again you can take that to the bank.
    The only way Floys would go to England is if he could take his hometown officials with him & Khan gets knocked out again then he might be tempted

    Floyd is coming to the end of his career and i can easily see him fighting outside the US if the money is right. A very possible fight could be Khan, should Amir wins his next couple of fights. If they guarantee Floyd a nice big payday of over £30m-£40m, then he would sign on the dotted line. I also think he wouldn't mind coming over to the UK as he's mentioned it a few times.

    He does this every year, has done sine Hatton fight. There is no way they can do a PPV in the UK. Even if Khan gets past Alexander, which is not academic, then it will be in Vegas. Health and safety prohibits the card being shown at 0200-0400 here. So its a no go.

    because kell brook is a nobody on the world stage
    if he wants to change that, he needs to do what khan and hatton have done - roll the dice and make your name on the international stage
