How many PPV buys does Floyd vs. Khan do?

[techliam]

500k UK PPV buys? No way. Unless of course, the PPV price is so low. Khan really isn't that popular here.

Am I the only one who feels The One would harm the next PPV Floyd fight? It was hyped to high heaven, but the fight itself was rather lacklustre in comparison, albeit a masterclass from Floyd. It's not just defensive-fighting fanatics who buy PPV.

This fight would need to be in the US for it to even be anywhere near successful as they need it to be. The novelty of Floyd fighting over here is cool and all, but the UK isn't going to be paying US-prices for PPV. Added to the fact Khan is WAY more popular in the US, it's a bit of a no brainer.

I am intrigued by the matchup though. I can't see Floyd KO'ing Khan. Khan has really only been knocked out by HUGE shots, and both times he got up stopped on his feet. Mayweather doesn't have that type of power. Maybe he'll knock Khan down once or twice, but not a KO.

No. Whether its casual fan racism or not, I have no idea and don't want to get into it. But it really does feel like Khan is a US fighter - he spends most of his time over there and fights over there more often than not.

Do you have any proof otherwise? I may be mistaken and willing to see it differently if you do

from a small sample size. not to discount anyone's stance as to where khan sells better, there or here, i just know that EVERY ****** friend i have knew who khan was, and these are those ****** types that know faaak-all about sports. so with that angle, coupled with the UK thing, i thought that wembley would sell out with a ******, local talent like khan and add to the fact the best fighter in the world would be there.

lol, i have a buddy who basically now hates all puerto ricans becasue of the danny garcia thing.

boxing really accentuates the best traits in people lol

I really don't think he is all that popular, he is an unknown to the casuals like the ghost was except this time they wont sucker any latinos into buying it. I don't think the UK PPV market will make up for Floyd's crazy guarantee.

won't it be on boxnation in the UK anyway? Like all floyds last few fights (and kahn's one too) Unless kahn gets greedy and tries to get on sky sports PPV I suppose. Kahn isn't exactly popular here anyway
