    Would Khan vs. Judah be big in England?

    What do you think the attendance would be? I mean Hatton vs. Juan Lazcano was able to do over 58,000 but is Amir Khan anywhere near as big of a name as Hatton was? So would this sell a lot of tickets and draw big ratings on TV?

    Amir sold out the M.E.N (20,000) in early 2008, against M.A.B and whilst I don't think he could draw 58,000 (Hatton got that in the City of Manchester, at his football club, coming off his biggest profile fight). I think Khan could certainly get 30,000 into the Reebok Stadium, maybe more I would have thought.

        Have to admit Barrera is a MUCH bigger pull than Judah. I don't think Judah is so much of a draw these days.

        Still he deservs a payday but I'd prefer JMM. Judah should take on Maidana. Lets see how he deals with a southpaw.

          UK loves boxing... and they have Khan to root for. I think Khan/Judah in UK will be big.

            Khan could certainly sell big in the UK. Easily do 30,000 in Bolton or Manchester. He has a big following in Birmingham (where I'm from) too. I'd pay to see him box live.

                Recently we've found out Khan has a chin and Judah continues to not take the sport seriously, whats the point in this matchup?

                  English people are ******ed beer drinkers. Harrison vs Haye was a big fight in that country which is sad and pathetic, they will literally watch anything that's how dumb those people are, they must be bored there all day.

                  im sure it will sell out easily, if they sell beer the english people will flock like ****roaches

                    Not in the slightest. Oh the folks on this forum might want it, but the average person has NO IDEA who Zab is.

                    Even once they do find out, they’ll then only realise he’s just a below average faded yankedoodle hyped up BUM
