Assuming he wants to fight Khan in the UK around May 2015 Unless they stage the fight at 4am UK time (unlikely), the fight will be 9Pm Uk time - around 2pm - 4pm USA time, Would that effect the PPV sales that much in USA? IF people want to spend $75-80 dollars to watch mayweater / see khan get knocked out would the time it is make that much difference? Wembley can fit 100K people with floor seats, with good promotion + a strong undercard I think it'll sell out + get 1mil ppv in the Uk at $30. I'm asking this as a Brit who'd like to see the fight in the UK, I think the fight could do $20mil in gate receipts alone, + 30mil ppv, so the UK bit could generate $50mil before the USA/ etc are involved. obviously the best fight status / money wise is PAC, after this I can't see anyone else he'd make decent money from other than Amir,
It will be in Las Vegas standard time... 4am is not a problem although it is a pain in the ass for us brits and does probably affect the PPV sales.
Im not even sure if it would sell out over here. Mayweather is a draw and it would be great to see him live, but in such a one sided fight you would feel short changed.
Mayweather will never fight Khan in the UK . Too risky and too much of an advantage to Khan . It has to be in vegas .
apparently 15k tickets are sold at the o2 for Joshua + Selby fights next week, on the basis of that, I think mayweather Khan should get a sell out or get 60-70+, most matchroom events are one-sided but get decent attendances with little promotion, think a strong undercard, santa cruz vs quigg/Frampton maybe, + Joshua against a known American HW, could help sell the event too, should the main event flop. Would like to see it happen, but the money talks at the end of the day. Khan could help himself by fighting Guerro, because he can yap at every interview / talk show that he beat guerro, maidana and Judah more convincingly than Floyd so he'll win. (personally think mayweatehr will KO khan, but be behind in the fight when it happens)
Aint happening. Another cherry from the trashbin for this fraud boxer. He knows he is getting old and he will not pick khan or pac for his final fights. Book it.
