mayweather vs khan ppv buys

Lets be real with the right under card this fight could do really good numbers. What if the put Maidana vs Thurman or Broner rematch on the card? or Tyson Fury vs. Deontay Wilder or Erislandy Lara vs. Alfredo Angulo 2 Golden Boy has a deep roster and can make the card pretty interesting. Yup take all the good fights and put them on the undercard of a $h1t fight.

Casuals bra, they don't care about stuff like that. Olympic medal as a teenager, beat Barrera, beat Maidana who beat Broner. It's marketing, the truth is a bystander. No, just no... I have plenty of friends who are casual fans, and the first thing they think of when you mention Khan is "No Chin"! When i mentioned that Mayweather would probably be fighting him next they nearly laughed me out of the room! Golden Boy are starting to take note of the general publics lack of interest in the fight! I genuinely think that a u turn is gonna happen and Chino's gonna be his opponent! Plus these days Floyd like belt hunting, khans got zip!

Im gonna buy it,,,i think this will be a closer fight than people expect,,,khan got good leg movement and really fast hands,,,and throws good combos,,,,only thing is he looked like crap his last fight and hes got that nice glass chin,,,amir khan won 50% of his wins the last four fights,,,and floyd talks about pac,,,,still feel it could be interesting

Khan has a very solid fanbase and it should do around 1.2-1.3 Million which is close to a Million more than Pac did against Rios Eh, I highy doubt that it would do even close to that, I'd be more inclined to think of the Guerrero fight. Pessimistically I'd say 750,000 buys.. Optimistically 900,000!

And Mayweather will claim he's the reason why it sold so much. I honestly only bought his last ppv because of Garcia vs Mathysse, put on a crap undercard and we'll see how much Floyds name will sell it then. Yup, Garcia/Mattysse could have easily been thee single most anticipated fight of the year. And it was an atrocity to have that fight as an undercard.

He has two flags on his shorts as did Joe Cal and Mexican American fighters Also he has a huge Asian fanbase, all of his fights in the uk have sold out, only 3 other active fighters can accomplish that, he even went to kell brooks backyard and sold 10,000 tickets in 15 mins khan will have no issues appealing to Asians who are Canadian/American/British who make up millions, add white and black fans and you have good numbers If Khan is this popular why hasnt he already been on PPV? but forget all that...who cares how many fans he has when he doesnt deserve the fight?

This joke fight should not be a ppv.

OK, again you make some good points but I think it is less about race and class and more about attitude / posturing / self promotion. Generally the British prefer an underdog, or at least a degree of humility when supporting their fighters. It is hardly racially motivated as Nigel Benn and Frank Bruno were massively popular and loved by fans. Btw - Khan wore the colors of Pakistan in his last fight...

This fight won't be half as successful in the uk as the mayweather/hatton fight was. Mayweather/hatton became the first and still the only fight in the uk to do over a million ppv (1.2million) buys. In the build up to mayweather/hatton fight a lot of people in the uk truly believed that hatton would win, wih khan hardly anyone thinks he can be competive never mind actually win

Utter ****t coming out of his mouth. When Calzaghe brought out a Welsh or Sardinian flag or Meixcan Americans bring out a Mexican flag there is no problem. Nothing wrong with honoring your heritage. Khan also brought out the UK flag and blazened the Union Jack on his shorts. And Nigel Benn was apprecaited during his time? Are you stupid or a just a typical Eurotard racist? Benn was hardly appreciated during his prime Even now during the Olympics Mo Farrah wins the gold only to have the highlights be what some white Brit like Nate Cleverly did. I'm not white or British, but I will speak the truth. I also find it ironic that the Arabs, Pakis Chinese Poles etc that are considered poor and criminal in Europe are ironically the most educated and richest ethnic groups here in the US. The UK is a joke. You people have no humility. Stop blaming people and take some responsibility. Whether it's abou the white people scrumming off council estates or your immigration laws "I'm not white or British, but I will speak the truth." OK there, I'll bow down to your superior intellect and heritage. Have you ever been to the UK BTW? I am just curious, not being sarcastic.

No amount of PPV buys can justify this fight happening.

Hope it flops from the bottom of my heart. However you can bet your sweet a$$ that they're gonna take all the stand alone main events from around that time and put in on the undercard. To save that bogus ppv from being a total disaster. And Mayweather will claim he's the reason why it sold so much.

it will be 700-800k and showtime will still lose money. Khan is not much of a treat to lure fans to buy this ppv. Most of Fraud's ppv numbers rack up because they want to see him LOSE and not to be entertained.

Fans will buy it because it's Mayweather on the billing, i just hope the under-card is good. Throw Maidana vs. Thurman as the co-main.

This isn't a mismatch, maybe talent wise it is, but Floyd doesn't excel in anything that Khan struggles with. It is a huge mismatch khan will be 10-1 or longer. Floyd will have to put Oprah on the undercard to do 1.3m+

Read my post again Didn't say all council estate dwellers are scum.... just the racist ones who form opinions on the colour of skin than concentrating on the boxing. Khan wear Union Jack all the time and does alot for charity but uneducated scumbags don't care at all. Who the f** said the scumbags can't hav an opinion?????...I said the educated upperclass whites appreciate his boxing ability. They see past his ethnicity. Truth is Khan bashing makes the rednecks feel good about their ****ty lives and the last time i checked Khan was making alot of money inside and out of the ring so there must be an element of jelousy. If he was white he'd be a superstar and you know it. OK, again you make some good points but I think it is less about race and class and more about attitude / posturing / self promotion.

Mismatches usually are, why would this be different. This isn't a mismatch, maybe talent wise it is, but Floyd doesn't excel in anything that Khan struggles with.
