    Against Khan in England.
    He has already started posting pictures with khanquerer on them on Facebook, obviously can't post them here at the minute.
    I guess it makes sense, he smashes Khan up reasonably easily and it sells more tickets than any UK fight ever.

    How would Showtime react? Or would they just put the fight on over here at a silly time?

    I like the idea of Floyd fighting in the UK but please god not against Khan.

    Exactly.

    He can make £30 Million in Vegas. To do that in the UK, he would need to sell 85,000 tickets at £200 each (in other words sell out Wembley), and get the 85,000 to buy into a five in the morning bell time for the main event. Then make at least another £15 Million profit on PPV.

    I do not see that happening.

    He's clearly not bothered about legacy, otherwise he'd have taken the biggest fights throughout his career.

    I said it on another thread, the only way Mayweather ever fights in the UK is if he was to lose. His value in America would drop massively if he loses but he would still sell massively if he was to fight over here with a loss.

    No chance. Mayweather will be fighting in casinos until they don't want him any more and we havn't reached that point yet.

    Won't be his next fight due to Floyd fighting in September and Khan not being able to fight till around December time due to Ramadan. Could see it happen definitely, wouldn't sell out Wembley as everyone has seemed to suggest it might.

    Even Tyson coming over here to fight didn't get a stadium.

    I'd forgotten about the second fight. Apologies.
