    I think you might be surprised. Khan has done a pretty good job of keeping himself in the news. As result of the web geographic location is playing a smaller and smaller role. While I think Crawford is the superior fighter, Khan has the higher profile.

    For me Crawford is an elite fighter with little exposure, I'm not sure who his promotion team are but they're doing him a disservice.

    Stop it, just stop it.

    Khan is not a huge draw, it is a myth. Khan can't sell out small arenas in the US, they give tickets away and have shut parts of the venue so it didn't look awful on TV.

    Khan is well known, I'm not disputing that but here in the UK (I live in London) he is detested my the majority of people I speak to.

    Crawford is unbeaten, highly rated by a lot of people and is an Amercian, I'm not understanding the logic of people saying Khan who is largely disliked in his own country and ridiculed in the US will be bigger on PPV.

    It's not a question of who is a better fighter, that's Crawford obviously. But Crawford is literally unknown to the world. Khan however being a **** fighter is more known, has a UK fan base and his ethnic fan base. He brings more to a PPV obviously.

    Apparently (Khan) being a twitter ***** pays dividends.

    Crawford has to work on his charisma. He has none right now. I think that it's in him, but will it ever come out?

    They will go with Crawford to build him up, especially if he beats Pac. He could be the fighter to carry the torch?

    The casual fans don't know Khan or Crawford. They know Pac. Twitter responses are just that, Twitter responses. Had Khan beaten Garcia, then he probably would've been popular because they could've marketed that. They couldn't even market him beating Maidana who gave Floyd a good fight because of Khans style of punch and grab. The casuals won't come out in droves or buy that. Khan has a bigger name than Crawford, but Crawford's respect in the boxing world equals that.
