    Hope it flops from the bottom of my heart. However you can bet your sweet a$$ that they're gonna take all the stand alone main events from around that time and put in on the undercard. To save that bogus ppv from being a total disaster.

      And Mayweather will claim he's the reason why it sold so much. I honestly only bought his last ppv because of Garcia vs Mathysse, put on a crap undercard and we'll see how much Floyds name will sell it then.

        No amount of PPV buys can justify this fight happening.

          And Nigel Benn was apprecaited during his time? Are you ****** or a just a typical Eurotard racist? Benn was hardly appreciated during his prime

          Even now during the Olympics Mo Farrah wins the gold only to have the highlights be what some white Brit like Nate Cleverly did.

          I'm not white or British, but I will speak the truth.

          I also find it ironic that the Arabs, Pakis Chinese Poles etc that are considered poor and criminal in Europe are ironically the most educated and richest ethnic groups here in the US.

          The UK is a joke. You people have no humility. Stop blaming people and take some responsibility. Whether it's abou the white people scrumming off council estates or your immigration laws
          "I'm not white or British, but I will speak the truth."

          OK there, I'll bow down to your superior intellect and heritage.

          Have you ever been to the UK BTW?

          I am just curious, not being sarcastic.

            This fight won't be half as successful in the uk as the mayweather/hatton fight was. Mayweather/hatton became the first and still the only fight in the uk to do over a million ppv (1.2million) buys. In the build up to mayweather/hatton fight a lot of people in the uk truly believed that hatton would win, wih khan hardly anyone thinks he can be competive never mind actually win

              Generally the British prefer an underdog, or at least a degree of humility when supporting their fighters. It is hardly racially motivated as Nigel Benn and Frank Bruno were massively popular and loved by fans.

              Btw - Khan wore the colors of Pakistan in his last fight...
              He has two flags on his shorts as did Joe Cal and Mexican American fighters

              Also he has a huge Asian fanbase, all of his fights in the uk have sold out, only 3 other active fighters can accomplish that, he even went to kell brooks backyard and sold 10,000 tickets in 15 mins

              khan will have no issues appealing to Asians who are Canadian/American/British who make up millions, add white and black fans and you have good numbers

                This joke fight should not be a ppv.

                  If Khan is this popular why hasnt he already been on PPV?

                  but forget all that...who cares how many fans he has when he doesnt deserve the fight?

                    Yup, Garcia/Mattysse could have easily been thee single most anticipated fight of the year. And it was an atrocity to have that fight as an undercard.

                      Eh, I highy doubt that it would do even close to that, I'd be more inclined to think of the Guerrero fight.

                      Pessimistically I'd say 750,000 buys.. Optimistically 900,000!
