Khan is the biggest draw at 140. I don't think it's even debatable.

GBP sure treats him like that. He's also got that nice deal by Reebok. I would say yeah he is the money man at 140.

In the states Peterson and Garcia both were able to draw better then Khan has been able to in the states tbh..

I also don't understand how he is the money man yet not being paid more then other fighters in the div..

Who makes more money than Khan at 140? He was getting 10 mil+ viewers before his 10th pro fight in the UK.

The question is Khan the money man in the div..Not is he the richest fighter in the div..Right now how much does Khan make a fight??I believe Garcia has made more then Khan in their two fights respective fights..There's also no denying Khans highest selling fight in the states was against Peterson(in Peterson's hometown)..

quit being a know it all ****.

Khan had potential when he was undefeated now nobody except for Brits and Pakistanis care about him.

When he fought Maidana in Vegas there were less than 5k people there and half of them were Mexicans from LA that came to see the undercard with Ortiz.

I bet you that Peterson-Mattyhse draws more fans here this coming weekend.

Maybe you are an idiot British poster. Carrying on about how every one of their **** fighters can sell out a British stadium is the calling card of the whole damn lot.

I think there is a strong element of truth here. The US is the TRADITIONAL boxing fan base and there I very much doubt Khan is the money man. But Khan does have a huge following in Pakistan and the Indian sub continent and these people are not really boxing fans. If you take these fans into account Khan may well be the money man and I believe that to be the case as it is this market that GBP want to tap into and would explain why they have gone to great lengths to promote Khan to the extent they have and also protect him (eg keeping him away from Maidana for ages and now keeping him out of the LWW tournament until the end). Even in the UK I strongly suspect that it is the Pakistani following that make up the bulk of his fans as real boxing fans I have talked to don't rate him but do watch his fights to see if they get proven right.
