Khan is not as popular in the UK as people may think. They could probably do 50-60k tops, but I don't see it doing 100k at the gate. If it were Hatton back when he was relevant then yes I think they could pull it off, but not with Khan as the opponent.
I'm not sure it could pull the 100k some people are saying but if they also make this fight during the british summer/the football off-season then it might go pretty close.olympic games not a factor??? i'm sure they are gonna ride on that, considering they are both olympic medalists.
Mayweather-Khan could put twice as many bums on seats in the UK as it could in the US. FACT! Khan isn't as bigger draw as Hatton or Calzaghe were but is all about the match-up and the fact that Mayweather is probably the only non-british fighter who could pull his own crowd in the UK. I'm not sure it could pull the 100k some people are saying but if they also make this fight during the british summer/the football off-season then it might go pretty close.
Khan/Mayweather at Wembley would be big. Mayweather's profile raised a lot over here with casual boxing fans after the fight with Hatton.
I think it would sell out Wembley to be honest. I would defo be there for sure!
Yea he has a real huge fan base :lol1:
Which is why there were 30% empty seats at the MGM venue and half the crowd being mexican?
Dude cant sell a 16k venue in his home town, what chance does he have to do 100k?
maybe Amir Khan can pull it off in the UK.
There are very few fighters that can sell out 40k+ arenas in their home town/country
Those are
1) Vitali / Wlad (Germany/Russia/Ukraine)
2) Canelo (Mexico/Texas)
3) Adamek (Poland)
4) Manny P (Pinoy Land)
pretty sure Zaveck can do 30k in Slovenia if
can get a venue that big.
Dont forget....Angulo sold 24,000 tickets vs a nobody in his home town with little. promotion. Him vs canelo or chavez will sell 40k + anywhere in Mexico...maybe even L.A. dodger stadium?
But yah....khan vs Mayweather does 50k easily in then u.k. Dont know about 100...
Oh yeah. It would be EPIC here and i think Floyd might have more fans!!! Seriously.
If a Mayweather vs Khan fight does end up happening (and it seems a real possibility now) then i think it lands in England. Floyd's always talking about fighting in the UK and it makes sense buisness wise which is what "Money" is all about

I never said that the fight wouldn't sell huge in the UK, I think it would. But it was a question of how many fans Khan has in the US vs Floyd in the UK. Amir can pull it off with Floyd, Pac and mayby Bradley but not with a no name fighter.
Chavez pulled like 100k in mexico and Luisito Espinoza similar number in the phillipines.

he said mayweather has a big fan base in uk. hatton did 55,000 against lazcano so i think mayweather khan would do 100,000 over in the uk. mayweather has a big fanbase since his fight with hatton (holds the box office record in the uk it did 1.1million, no other hatton fight ever did over 500,000)
Why America doesn't deserve it? Maybe cause Floyd has a bigger fan base in the UK than Khan will ever has in the US.
We can see what fraud Amir is

lol any premier league soccer match easily fills out a stadium, a boxing match like this would be child's play. 100k easy. although it would be pretty hard to see any action from the far away seats. bring those binoculars with you.
In the UK, yes.
Fingers crossed, it happens in the UK.
America doesn't deserve this fight.

are there any 100k stadiums in england?
wembley holds 88,000 so with seats on the pitch tht would b around 100,000 (going on the hatton/lazcano numbers which took it from a 45,000 seater 2 55,000). i also think it would sell out pretty fast, when mayweather came over to promote the marquez fight he did a public workout n they had 2 close the roads around the gym cause of the amount of people. tht occured when most people was at work etc. (i believe over 10,000 people showed up just 4 his workout)
thats true.
and yeah, i think it could get to 100k. In cardiff, Kessler vs Calzaghe had 50k.
How many did benn eubankI have?
The rematch in 93 had over 42000 people crammed in Old Trafford.
There are a couple that do but it's not important cause the pitch will get converted into seats so I'd imagine a 50000 stadium would do the job.
