Trying to sell an opponent for Floyd Mayweather

There's a certain novelty to Mayweather fighting Khan at Wembley Stadium. We all know the result isn't in doubt, but it just has more appeal to it than fighting in Vegas. And broadcasting it on something like CBS would be a plus (not that they'd consider that, mind)Comment

Seriously, Khan probably has more fans in America than he does here in the UK. I have been to Khan fights here before and the majority of the crowds were willing him to get beat.
The Pacquiao fight obviously should have happened 3 or 4 years ago, but there is still something in that fight from a selling point of view. Talk boxing with many casuals, and Pacquaio and Mayweather are 2 names will come up pretty quickly. Despite being KTFO by Marquez, Pacquiao is still a name. A resounding win over Rios would give more weight to it.Comment

There is Garcia, Alexander / Khan winner, Cotto rematch if he wins the next fight, Maidana if he can some how beat Broner, how many more fights does Bradley have with Top Rank? (Mayweather and Arum have said some nice things about each other in the past few months so you never know, maybe Rios (I know Top Rank fighters are a long shot))Comment

Agree. Pacquiao is the money for Floyd/CBS/GBP/Showtime or they loose the $s except for Floyd of course. Hopefully Top Rank - GBP reconciles and make this fight happen.

A garcia fight would make money. Even idiots like skip bayless know who garcia is. Also floyd sr vs angel would be pretty good.Comment

I still believe this.
Floyd's PPV numbers will be ***ed on this one. After the Guerrero barn burner and the way he defeated Canelo. I don't think that this fight will break 1 million buys. This will be Floyd's Pacquiao Vs Rios in China moment.Comment

I bet money floyd will still out sell pac bradley 2 even if the fight dont break a millionComment
