If Khan drops this fight to Algeri he's DONE! He will fall to an opponents role and have one or two more meaningfull pay days.
This should be his calling card fight and he must be impressive, not just win but look great doing so.

12 muslim pakistani guys who are probably his relatives chanting, am I missing something here, that weigh in was practically empty man.
Perhaps the sarcasm :pat:
Were they very few in numbers: YES.
Were they responsible for most of the 'atmosphere, noise': YES.
I guess this was a scenario where the quality of the fans outweighed the amount.
He is very popular. He is also an incredibly egotistic big mouth bragger who never shuts up about himself and is very disrespectful to other good fighters. Examples. Says he slaughtered his friend Pacquiao in sparring and tells Mayweather good job easy work for beating his friend. He says Mayweather is afraid to fight him. He says Brook is no where near his level when it's Brook who is an undefeated world champion who has never been knocked down. He says he beat Peterson easily but was robbed. I thought Peterson beat him. He says he demolished Maidana and completely ignores that Maidana had him in huge trouble and might have knocked him out if the referee had not constantly separated the fighters when they were NOT tied up. I am happy for all the many Khan fans who will watch him beat up an over matched opponent. Khan is a 16 to 1 favorite to beat a guy Pacquiao just beat by the points margin of 120 to 103. I dislike Khan so much I threw away $50 betting on Algieri. If by a miracle Algieri wins then I win over $400 so I couldn't resist. Brook is the English welterweight I like. He is humble and respectful and he is a damn good fighter. He has been begging Khan to fight him for years and it's a huge money fight but Khan wants no part of it.
It sounded like 50 people but when they turned the camera it was only maybe 13 of them LMFAO but hey that is better than NONE. Didn't see any Algieri Fans and he is fighting in his Country and his Back Yard Technically
So much for the algieri bring more than brook excuse
PBC is truly mediocre in every way. Their falling ratings reflect how bad PBC is and badly received it is by the public.
I hope PBC and haymon can just go away. They're killing the sport and giving a false impression of what boxing is to the public. The longer PBC is around the more deteriorated the reputation of boxing will be.
Who said the ratings were falling?

Impressive at 1:30
That's pretty sad. Someone like Pacquiao has more guys sleeping on his bed than that.
To be fair, at least Khan's army is passionate lol. Before the camera focused on them, I pictured at least a hundred people. Then again it must have just been the airhorns.
Khan I bring the UK,Dubai,Pakistan,India to the table when in reality you bring very little. This clown couldn't get bums on seats if they was giving away vouchers in a free newspaper.
As expected really.
Arum was right when he said Khan is not a ticket seller in the states. Need to have a big name opponent or stacked card to sell, this is neither.
what a poor turn out, but tbh its chris algeri, fight is on spike and it's a weekday

Mostly Pakistani muslims in the line with a few white albanian muslims, and that is not really a long line man that was probably the entire people who showed up maybe 50.
