        No, that's completely incorrect. I don't see Amir Khan getting 50,000+ in a stadium, do you? Especially since getting KO'd by Prescott. But he never did before that either.

        And regardless, Khan is / was hugely hyped by the media, not boxing fans. His popularity is not due to anything but media hype.

        Calzaghe pulls a minimum of 50,000 fans against a fighter barely anyone even knows. It'll be more now, since he's better known since the Kessler, Hopkins, and Jones fights.

            Calzaghe can only get 50k in Wales. He didn't sell out either time in USA. Cos no one knows who the **** he is and is shit to watch. Amir Khan sells out whereever he goes. He is more known than Joe in the UK. Hatton is the most popular. Then you have that bum Joe who is only known to the ****** welsh.

              Mayweather probably won't be forgotten. But he'll mostly be remembered for the great match-ups he avoided, and squandering his prime years to preserve his "0".

                  Do you live in the UK? I can tell you that you are wrong because I live there. Calzaghe would pull the same amount in London, or possibly more. Wales is TINY. Do you know that? People travel from all over England to see Joe fight in Wales. It isn't just the Welsh people. They probably make up just a few thousand.

                      You couldn't be more wrong.

                      Khan has totally dropped of the radar, even before the Prescott fight the bubble had burst, Calzaghe got nominated for Sports personality of the year.

                      Bare in mind thats in a year when Britain won the F1, European Cup, a stack of medals at the Olympics and Andy Murray had his best ever year. Calzaghe is on another level entirely to khan.

                      Ofc being an American you wouldn't know anything about the british public so I'll forgive you.
