    Hardcore Khan fans and some british fans.

    Some people are sold and the hype of the illusion of what Khan could had been or think he could be.

    Khan can't adjust to a counter left.

    The sad thing is that this fight would sale on Khan's popularity and is the type of opponent Floyd likes even if Khan has not done anything at WW.

    The british fighters have the best fans in the planet, no matter what they support their fighters

        This will be the most disappointed I have ever been to watch a Floyd fight if this comes to fruition.

        Amir gets hit with one good shot his whole game plan goes out the window.

            This is definitely not a fight for American or Hispanic fans, this seems to only be tapping into the British boxing fanbase. Khan is about as known as Maidana in the U.S., in fact I will say since Maidana's win over Broner he's more known than Khan in the U.S.

            If Mayweather wants to make this a big fight for the Brits, so be it, fight at Wembley or something. Promote the fight in England, count on the UK PPV being strong, raise the price of the UK PPV, have some English fighters on the undercard. Because honestly, Floyd will not get much support from the the U.S. for this fight, not even from his diehard fans like me. So he should try to cater to UK fans for this fight.
            Absolutely right.

              Casual fight fans in Britain - and some hardcore - are usually in awe of Mayweather's ability. A lot of people were surprised in the way he handled Hatton.

              So make no mistake. this fight will sell will in Britain - but because of Mayweather, not just because of Khan.

                  Similarly, a fight between Mayweather and Maidana is not going to be for the British fans. World wide, the Maidana fight will do worse numbers than the Khan fight, because Maidana is much less well known. He hasn't had the same hype behind him as Khan has had. And when he's stepped up, he's failed 3/4 times.
                  It won't be. Aside from Mosley, Floyd has always fought a Hispanic on May and September since he chose those two dates to make his events. DLH, Marquez, Ortiz, Cotto, Guerrero, Canelo.

                  Mayweather vs Khan doesn't do better #'s than Mayweather vs Maidana.

                  Wait a minute, what the hell is that in the bold? First of all Maidana beat Kotelnik but got robbed. Secondly Ortiz and Broner were both step ups, Karrass and Lopez were better than Julio Diaz and Carlos Molina. Maidana is not the one getting KTFO left and right and getting knocked down 9 times in his career. You're talking about hype, there's no hype behind Khan anymore, that hype is long gone and there's nothing he can do about it. The one with the hype right now is Maidana. Your post is ass backwards.

                    Khan has the tools to trouble Floyd if Floyd can't hurt khan then I can see it being a closer fight than most think

                      I really don't see this fight doing better than Mayweather versus Hatton especially in the US and I can't see why it would do better in the UK
