Mayweather CONFIRMS Khan as Next Opponent

[Money_May]

Yes, floyd won't sell as many PPV's with this fight in the US prob 1M max. But he'll more then make up for it with the 1M+ it will do in the UK

How will they convince people to think that this fight is legit? Khan isn't coming off a solid win/performance, he's not really a "young and strong" lion, and he's currently the laughing stock of boxing.

Who can they make look legit that currently fights 140-154 other than Garcia who is probably better left for a later date.

UK PPV is a quarter of the price.

Showtime need PPV figures of 1.3m just to break even

I'm thinking...Khan is planning on going the distance here though. I keep giggling every time I think about it.

He just wants to do as good if not better than Ricky Hatton did.

Think Money will go easy on him?

You never heard of an underdog story Carpe? Khan is a good looking kid, he can speak well, he's a very likable guy.

This is Ortiz 2.0

Showtime will lose money in this fight. How much will they spend just to dupe people into believing Khan, who has this image of getting dropped on the canvas, can beat Floyd da best?

I'm pretty disappointed in this fight. Khan has done nothing to deserve it and it's clearly just for $$$ since he has a big fan base. Khan might have early success in the first couple of rounds or so, but once Floyd times that handspeed, Amir is done. Floyd KO 9

Unfortunately, boxing has gone the way of WWE in recent years, it about the personalities and fanbase.

How do you think they sold that many for Canelo,

But I agree to some extent that it won't do to well by itself, so just like a lot of Floyd's recent cards they will run another main event with Mexican fighter and have a very good card.
