    If it happens over here I'm getting tickets, I've only ever been to one match before (Haye vs Barrett, I realised soon after that Haye was a clown)

        I think there's a good chance it would be in the UK, Wembley is a 90,000 capacity stadium and yes there's a good chance it would be a sellout at a few hundred quid a ticket. That is serious Money

          Mayweather wont fight over here unless it's someone he can destroy.

          If Khan beats Judah, I can see him and Mayweather being a distance fight. And, with a stadium full of mainly Khan fans - who knows what kind of impact that could have on even experienced judges.

            I use to kinda feel this way also but I have always also said that I dont think there is a righty in history that can hit a prime Floyd with a clean shot. I also said that there is no righty in boxing who has a chance to beat Floyd unless they are a good size bigger then him and can straight up bully him. I think Floyd feels the same way. I think he feels like the crowd is definitely a risk but Khan isnt a Southpaw and he's not big enough to overpower Floyd so it will be a straight skill fight and no one is going to beat him like that.

            I also think his mindset seemed to change in the Mosley fight. I felt that he never froze in a big fight or because of the crowd but I dont think he ever really like wasnt aware of it. With Mosley to me it seemed like the 1st time where he was in total control. Where he like truly fed off the crowd. Where he was like MJ or something. Like he knows he's the star now and he put the big event together, and everyone is there to see him wether its win or lose. Thats why I think he would be less scared of over seas now and I also think his ego may be such that he thinks he might have 30,000 or more cheering for him.

            He thinks the UK love him and some say that the UK isnt fully supportive of Khan so he'll be ok. Not only that but you also have to think about the "Pac" fight. I think Floyd's tune will soon change if it hasnt already and he will focus more on fighting Khan 1st. That might upset the public. Khan will be seen as a good fight in boxing and the mainstream will catch on some but if you have it in Wembley then that will silent the mainstream. It will seem exciting to them. Then add to it he's trained by Roach, spars with Pac all the time, and many think he can win. I think he may find out that if its not Pac 1st then he almost has to fight in Wembly

                It will never happen.

                Floyd is too CHICKEN-HEARTED to ever fight outside his home country.

                  I think Mayweather would destroy Khan unless he gets a hell of a better real quick. I can see how Floyd likes the idea of a massive fight abroad to enhance his legacy. Make no mistake if this fight was at Wembley Mayweather would have A LOT of support in the crowd. Khan is spot on when he says he is more appreciated in USA than back home. He can thank Frank Warrens handling of his early career for that, too many PPVs on SKY against total bums.

                    Thought I'd bump this. Bradley has recently joined Top Rank, so it's a great possibility, that he will be the next opponent for Pacquiao. Nothing has been announced yet, but things are slowly rolling that way.

                    Which makes me think Khan is next for Floyd. He is, I believe, beside Pac and Canelo, one of the bigger financial draws right now. And since Floyd is a sucker for Money, this is an important factor to be considered.

                    And with the whole Ortiz debacle now circling around, I'd think Floyd will not want to fight in Las Vegas in the next fight.

                      The Ortiz situation will die down in a couple weeks and nobody will really give a ****, im not doubting a Kahn fight but it wont be held in the uk...there just isnt enough revenue. Watch Kahn get hyped up big time in American media over the next few month though.
