Khan: "let's see Matthysse vs Maidana"

[Syf]

How big is it really? I've heard Matthysse talking about it saying it's only a big fight for the reporters, but not for the general public and it wouldn't be financially viable. I found the ratings for the Matthysse-Peterson fight in Argentina, and it it only got a 2.3 point rating. That's like 230,000 people who saw it I think. I contrast, Martinez got around a 45 point rating, which is probably the type of popularity you need to fill a stadium. The Klitschkos are the only guys who regularly fill stadiums, and they always get over 50 point ratings in Germany.

Yeah I think Matts will enjoy a massive poularity ****e at home after this win. Maidana, the other half of such a matchup, I remember performing in front of a packed crowd in Argentina not so long ago against a guy named Angel I think. Ended matters by a body shot. I'd guess Maidana is around 25-30 to Sergio's 45 down there.. And Matts is picking up ground fast. If they bill it as an eliminator match to win the mayweather sweepstakes in a year or so, the fight could be very big.

He said he would fight if he had to cause they're professionals but he mentioned they were friends and didn't sound too excited about it.

Kinda what I figured theres def more lucrative fights for Matthysse right now IMO

[SplitSecond]

It seems Khan always wants to his opponents fight Maidana.

To Paul McCloskey - "You wouldn't beat Maidana!"

To Danny Garcia - "You wouldn't beat Maidana!"

To Kell Brook "Fight someone like Maidana then we can talk about a fight"

This is the same Maidana who went life and death with a shot Morales and a shot DeMarcus Corley

not big on maidana, but garcia also went life and death with morales and he's shaped up well

and on another note, maidana probabley sparks khan in a rematch

[Xyei]

I don't see what's so bad about him saying that. It would be a hell of a fight to see and I would also love to see it. It would be absolutely huge in Argentina!

I mean, I get the lulz aspect since Khan probably doesn't want anything to do with Matthyse but it is a great fight to be made.

The Maidana-Angel fight only got a 2.9 rating. But yeah, there seems to be a loyal hardcore fanbase that could fill up a 9k stadium, but I'm not sure about them filling up a 50k soccer stadium. Well, I guess it depends on the prices. But if it's low enough to fill a stadium, it probably wouldn't be big money and they'd make more in the US.

khan is learning from Cherrypicker... let other dangerous boxers beat each other up while you cherrypick fights... then you swoop in at the end and fight the winner once they are already war torn.

People giving khan grief for this are idiots khan is a fighter but also a boxing fan and what fan wouldnt want to see this fight

[Dr Rumack]

khan just wants matthysse to break down from the maidana punches

Probably thinks he's being real crafty about it too, no one will see his devious plan

[DannYankee]

Just because he got a miracle survival win over Maidana he wants to equate both fighters Maidana is a Mental psychopathic K.O kinda guy, Mathysse is more of a precise mass murderer K.O kind of guy
