Comments Thread For: Showtime VP Tips Khan's Fan Base in Mayweather Race

[88derrick88]

among maidana, d. garcia and khan, i can say khan has the wider fan base and the low risk, high reward opponent. garcia and maidana are the high risk, low reward opponents for floyd and knowing him he will not dare pick them. Stop guessing people it will be Khan for sure. but I think khan will have a chance if he's with freddie roach or robert garcia. just my opinion.

Khan's popularity is the only way to justify this fight
it's not enough, but Floyd don't care about that
Garcia shoulda been his next opponent after Alvarez
rightfully that would come next, but Garcia is being a dumbass

Showtime VP is a floydiot now! haha. Man, i bet he only watch the highlights and not the whole fight(typical floyd fan) and then call themselves boxing experts. haha. If were Espinoza i'll find a way how to make the pacman-floyd match up for fast return of investment than riding to floyd's d**k.

Real boxing fan knows it's Khan on May 3,so stop the BS and enjoy the PPV Money.

I'm just waiting for the undercard!!!

Garcia vs Maidana
ABroner vs Matthysse
Lara vs ?

Popularity?? Morales is popular too why not him? Wait Mayweather can't fight Morales because Morales was knocked out by Danny Garcia.

Wait!!!

Great point.

Theres only one ricky hatton,
One ricky hatton,
Dancing along,
Singing a song,
Dancing in the winter wonderland!!khan is no hatton,and if there banking on khans fanbase this fight will do less then guerrero fight...if floyd was as big as he is now when he foufht hatton the fight would have generated about the same as the cotto fight,maybe a lil less...hatton has the biggest fanbase from england period,not bolton fighter khan..

Khan will beat old man Floyd

The haters need to stop crying

I'll be buying the PPV in the UK like many others, so yes indeed he has a fanbase and my main reason for buying this fight is because his opponent is Floyd.

Showtime Sports VP Stephen Espinoza credits the popularity of Amir Khan (28-3, 19KOs) as the driving force for his frontrunner position to land a shot at WBC welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. (46-0, 26KOs) on May 3rd at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

Khan is reportedly the likely candidate to face Mayweather, but boxers like WBA welterweight champion Marcos Maidana are also under consideration. Everything is pointing to a Mayweather-Khan battle. Khan recently revealed that he signed his end of the bout agreement for the May 3 fight, while Maidana's team members have publically disclosed that nobody has reached out to them for a Mayweather fight.

Should be 45-0

When has Mayweather not made his decision based on income? Nothing new.

Hopefully it will be a better fight than his previous fights and will end in a KO.
