    If for the sake of argument Khan vs Floyd happens, how do you think this would be taken by the British public?

    It would for sure be on SKY, but would it would be PPV?, Sky have not done a 5am PPV for a long time. Would you buy it?

    He has a far smaller level of support than Hatton ( GBP realised hatton had a unique fanbase only after they signed Khan ) who got around a million buys if its to be believed?, Back then the hype was one of - Someone's 0 has got to go, 2 unbeaten champions and the british public were 'educated' by the media over the course of many weeks to believe that it was 50/50. This time that would be a hard sell, but will the factor of people just wanting to see him get knocked out again produce an equivalent of sales?

    British public know Khan, he's not well liked IMO and a lot of casuals would be interested to see him lose especially with the chat he would be doing in the build up, it would do well in Britian IMO.

    It'd do alright, it'd have to be hyped to death though.

    I'd buy it but no way should khan get a shot at floyd. Anyone half decent will stop khan, he's not at the elite level.

    It would be huge if it happens and it would be on Boxnation - the channel of champions

    I thought Khan's name was being mentioned as an opponent for Floyds UK appearance? If so, would they delay it until 5am in order to show it at the 'right' time in the US? I can think of a few bigger draws who have fought away and had to fight at the local time, but with the money Money brings, could they dictate the fight time?

    1. insurance costs and logistics of transport and very drunk people.

    2. would mayweather want to pay the u.k. a LOT of tax ?

    Mayweather fight wont happen in the uk for obvious reasons, Khan starting to sound a little punchy he forgets what he is saying then completely contradicts himself in the next sentence ,Khan and his team are money mad I feel it will end bad for khan and his health his brain been shook up to many times now..

    Hunter doesn't want the fight. He says he is not ready for him. Great confidence for Khan if his own trainer doesn't believe in him -but tells him the truth as Khan seems to think his "speed" will carry him to a win over the master mayweather.

    its so funny -easy MONEY for floyd

    Khan is the most delusional boxer around.
