    Bradley vs. Khan atmosphere in Vegas?

    I was just wondering do you think this fight would have a big fight atmosphere in Vegas and would sell a lot of tickets?

    Khan can sell-out anywhere.

    Not huge fan. But he's a true ticket seller.

    And Arum can sell a fight.

    So yes.

      No, there will be 5000 people there and they'll all be Khan fans. Khan should do what the Klitschko's do and only fight in England in front of 50k people.

      If you draw big in Europe, why would you come to the shithole U.S where nobody cares about boxing and you'll fight in an empty arena.

      Its fucking ******ed.

        khan's fans don't travel like hatton's fans. timmah has no fans.

        I don't think that they will sell out las vegas.

          yep , i doubt it'll do more than 5 k , the fight would be immense in the uk by comparison and timmy has no fear of travelling

            I don't know why people are talking as if Khan is already is a big Draw in the US because that is FAR FROM THE TRUTH

            and Timothy Bradley is not a draw really at all...but fans need to forget all the whole Tickets Sales BS...it is not like any of you will be getting some of that money, I just want to see that fight, I don't give a **** if it is in Oscar De La Hoya's or Richard Schaefer's Garage or Back Yard and only 200 people attend, as long as they fight I could careless about ticket sales and all that stuff

              I don't see this fight being that much bigger of a draw than the Maidana fight. There are more belts at stake but Maidana is a more explosive fighter. In the Maidana fight there were ?? about how Khan's chin would hold up to Maidana's bombs. Those ??? have been answered and Bradley does not bring the same kind of firepower.

                Even the Klitschko's are willing to come to the US for big fights. Vitali-Arreola would've sold out a stadium, instead they had, what? Less than 10K?

                I agree though, I rather fighters take the show on the road where it would get the best attendance and give fights the best atmosphere. People follow trends, if the US audience sees consistently huge crowds and great atmosphere, their opinions of boxing will slowly change.

                Bradley-Khan would be an even better crowd and live atmosphere than the Maidana fight and just a few of them made it seem like a solid crowd.

                My prediction is (remember we're talking about Las Vegas in July) in between 6 and 8K. I have a feeling more of Khan's fans will want to make the trek after the McCloskey fight and since it's for the #1 spot.
