    But I bet it does even worse.

    No one wants to see this fight in America.
    850k. No way Khan draws that many PPV's. Guerrero has a fanbase here by default. Khan has no fanbase in the U.S. if he does is a very small one.

    The truth is in the U.S. there a re a lot of Hispanics and Floyd vs the current hot Hispanic fighter will sell.

    Nobody wants to see Mayweather vs Khan, a guy with 9 knock downs, the body of an old man like angel Garcia said, and a chin made of a glass. When people ask me who is Floyd fighting next, I tell them it's between Marcos Maidana and Amir Khan. The responses to this has been, 'Oh Maidana the guy who beat Broner. Who is Amir Khan?" I am serious too, no one I talk to knows who Amir Khan is.

      No. I get that Khan beat Maidana H2H.....barely

      But that was 3 years ago. The last time Khan looked good was Judah in 2011, and he's done absolutely NOTHING since Peterson in 2011.

      Maidana did lose a lopsided decision to Alexander, but he's bounced back since with three solid/decent wins over Karass, Lopez, and Broner.

      It'd be a unification. I'll be truly disappointed if Floyd doesn't pick Maidana, and opts for Khan.

        Did you see ever see Maidana look like f-cking Bambi ever in his life? I mean come on, the Prescott KD's were terrible. They were brutal. The Garcia KD's were bad too.

        Now we're fabricating knock downs?

        this KO is brutal, khan was wobbled by a jab from prescott at the very beginning

          His hands are wrecked and his mindset is based completely on defence and taking no risks.

          Unless Floyd changes the way he has fought for the last 4-5 years, Khans chin doesn't come into it.

          That's what makes it an interesting fight. There's a blueprint to beating Khan but it's the opposite of how Floyd fights.
          Nobody is talking abut KD's to indicate that Floyd would KD Khan. The amount of KD's and to who some of them came against indicate how much of a sh-tty pick this would be if Floyd fights such a fragile fighter.

              You should tell them:

              'Amir Khan - the guy who beat Maidana'.

                True. Some anti-Floyd fans didn't like it but the majority of fans accepted it for what it is which is Floyd fighting the best possible WW that he can realistically negotiate with.

                  How do you know? Are you an adequate spokesman for 'the public'?

                      But then they might ask "When was that?"

                      Then he'd have to say "By the time the fight happens it will be heading toward 4 years ago".
