I cringe at people who say Khan doesn't deserve the Mayweather fight!

The reason people say he doesn't deserve the fight is because they think he is after the money that comes from the fight like everybody else is. I personally believe Khan isn't too concerned with the money a Floyd fight brings, he even said himself it isn't as much as people think for the so called 'lottery ticket fight'. I believe he actually believes in his heart that he can win the fight and that the money is something that just comes with it. Unlike most fighters who face Floyd, I'm certain Khan has financially secured his future with ventures outside of boxing. He always has sponsors whether he's winning or losing. The money a Floyd fight brings for Khan won't make or break him like it does so many of his other competitors. The correct thing to say for those who don't think Khan deserves a Floyd fight would be:- A) 'He doesn't deserve the fight because I don't think he's likely to win' B) 'He doesn't deserve the fight because he hasn't proven anything at welterweight' NOT BECAUSE 'He doesn't deserve the fight because he doesn't deserve the money' Khan is in no shortage of money, he's a multi millionaire who has invested wisely and can live without the money a Floyd or Pac fight brings although a Pac fight will probably bring a lot more. Now someone like Danny Garcia DOES deserve the fight because of his resume and since he's the king of the 140lb division however we all know he'd get UD's EASILY. He doesn't bring anything to the table on fight night that anyone else hasn't already brought. Khan presents a better stylistic match up for Floyd outside of Manny from 140lb - 147lb. Peace.

This is also true there was loads of United out in vegas for hatton aswell as the ****neys, but still not having it with Khan and this fanbase Khan has a big following in the states but a lot of his fans here are not necessarily big boxing fans but like watching him fight, a bit like a young De La Hoya but obviously not on that level. It's that star crossover quality he has. The fight would be massive wherever it takes place to be honest. I understand Khan has a lot of fans throughout Europe, Asia and Australia too.

No one can top the fan base that Hatton had in his time. Absolute Legend he was. Yeah yeah he really was. Got me back into boxing actually after the Tszyu fight but really it's the crowd he brought that makes him an icon.

Guys like Bruno, Naz, Eubank and Benn had huge followings but it wasn't due to a football club. They'd have fans all across the UK, same with Khan. Even though people associate Hatton fans with Manchester City he was loved all across Great Britain too.

Apart from Hatton who else had a large football fan base following? and how has Froch a large football fans following now? before the Groves fights Froch wasn't even known outside of Nottingham now suddenly he has a massive football fan base following lmao. and I been to Khan fight against Judah, and 80% of crowd was pro Khan.

You're not getting it carl froch supports Nottingham forest he appeals to the football lads same with groves with chelsea? That's part of the reason you got 80,000 and like I said before us Brits will jump on the bandwagon. Like I said previously he walked through the mgm virtually unnoticed malinaggi and wilder got hounded.

It has nothing to do with money. Khan has done nothing to deserve it, and his chin is highly suspect.

Khan's best wins are Kotelnik,Maidana,Judah,Paulie,Collazo. Now tell me how in the world does Guerrero, Ortiz's,Maidana best wins beat that? again, Khan deserve it wayyy more than Maidana,Ortiz,Guerrero etc. How in the fvck are these great wins?? Judah-was wayyyy past prime Kotelnik-WHO???? WHAT THE FVCK DID HE DO? Maidana-Khan refused to rematch this man after running for him life and it was a very close fight..but ok Paulie-ok good not great win Collazo-what the hell is his best win?? Ortiz coming off of 2 back to back ko's? kHAN HAS NOT HAD A DECENT WIN IN 3 YEARS AND EVEN THAT WAS FVCKING ZAB JUDAH WHO FLOYD BEAT UP A HALF A DECADE BEFORE,THEN COTTO BEAT THE SH1T OUT OF HIM FOLLOWED BY CLOTTEY

That's mainly because of the local Bolton Manchester rivalry. Khan has a big hometown following and is also popular in the south of England. I agree though that a lot of Brit fans would be going mainly for Floyd too, he also has a massive UK fan base, but either way there would be a lot of Brits in Vegas that weekend. Both fighters both have huge followings outside of their home countries too. It would be a massive fight. Manchester and bolton rivalry we will leave that for another day. Your right about floyd having lots of fans in the uk but still disagree with Khans fan base you ain't getting 20,000 going over to support Khan. I was there in May and there was a couple of hundred there for Khan and in September I saw him in the mgm and he walked through barely got noticed!

I cannot even have a sound conversation with any of you so called 'boxing fans'. According to your logic if somehow a 5 year old girl held the welterweight strap you'd rather see Floyd KO her than watch him take on a tough challenge by someone who doesn't have a belt. Sometimes the most challenging fighters are not the ones with a belt or with a streak of notable wins but ones who posses a stylistic threat. I'm sure this post will also fly over your sub human minds, what a pity.

thats bs right there, as if it held any weight age in him getting a fight with Floyd. Why don't you for once admit that the criteria you guys set of earning a fight against your guy, hasn't been followed by a lot of his previous opponents?? Ortiz-beat Berto for the WBC title-Berto beat Collazo Guerrero beat Berto-Berto beat Collazo Maidana-beat Broner for the WBA title-they sold the fight as big brother avenging little brother-for a title HOW FVKCING HARD IS IT TO UNDERSTAND KHAN HAS NOT DONE JACKSH1T????????
