    I saw this on facebook today.

    Very good news.

    Paulie can sell a fight for sure.

    Wonder how many UK fans are coming over?

      I'd say around 500-1000. There are also a lot of Brits in New York who will be interested in watching Khan fight.

        Indeed.

        I know that Naseem Hamed had his first American fight in the big arena and there was a great crowd. Hopefully, Khan reaches that popularity status.

          Just checked that site.

          Starts from £600 which is about $900 for 2 nights. I think flights, tickets and hotel it seems.

          Not bad I guess. Still a lot though

              LOL. Too many people on here don't really know Boxing. Do you know how many Pakistanis reside in the NY area?! They are mostly Amir fans and the house will be packed with at least 70% Amir fans.

                Malignaggi deserves credit for this too. We will see who the fans are cheering for on the 15th.

                  70% Amir fans in Mallignaggi's home city? You sure about that?

                    amir khan does not have a very good fan base in the u.k. so for this fight to be sold out is credit to paulie khan and GBP.

                      It is most likely but I believe Khan has helped sell around 1 k.

                      He headlines and I believe the fights hold up to 8k in the UK.

                      Most likely Pakistanis in the US aswell as some loyal Britsh fans will be there.

                      Amir has been spotted with Pacquaio and Roach so that must have helpoed get his name out aswell as GBp being a top company
