Fact is Khans last fight in the UK sold out, and that was against a unknown guy with no real build up and in Kell Brooks back yard of all places.
You need to stop being such a fanboy, Khan could alone sell out a entire arena with British Asians who make up couple of million of the UK population. 20 k plus is nothing to him.
Lets not get it twisted here fella, he's big draw as Froch is over here.
Only 3 active fighters can sell out arenas up and down the country Haye, Froch and Khan

He'll never reach Hatton levels of popularity.
I think the fact he fought on Sky for most of his career has hurt him, Khan is probably more well known due to the olympics + itv deal.
He's earned a lot of fans though, and will be able to sell out any building in the UK after that win.

Thing with Khan is along with Haye he was the reason that PPV boxing was stopped in the UK because of Khan (Low buyrates) and Haye (**** fights) they must have belived in Froch to bring it back.
Anyway lets see when the numbers get released for Froch/Kessler 2 and after how much talk I saw I think it did around 350-500K something which Khan hasn't come close too (His record buyrate was against Maidana at around 250K)
Just stating facts man. I don't even have a problem with Khan he has some good wars.

Froch/Ward in a stadium would do 50K+ Froch/Kessler got better attendance than any Khan fight with 20K+

Also Kessler is a bigger draw than Maidana, most of us UK folk know him thanks to Joe Calzaghe and then the first war with Froch
Kell Brook Vs Khan would most likely blow Kessler vs Froch out of the water, that's the only real comparison i could make.
The pay per views only work if the competition is believable
