        The cost being lower doesn't mean the market is not lucrative. More money is better than less money. Pretty simple.
        Uk ppv market wont make up for the difference in what US ppv's would between the two fights. All access would not have much to work with to promote a khan fight... just show old footage of him at 140 I guess.. and avoid showing the two ko's. Maidana fight sells itself. They could even have the train wreck broner crying on floyds shoulder in all access and floyd swearing he is his brother's keeper. Must see tv.

        the uk market doesnt make a difference if theres at least a 500k ppv buy difference in the us market between the two fights.

          I like this idea since Floyd hasn't won the WBA belt (Let Mosley keep is for their fight)
          regardless of who it is Khan/Miadana the other guy should be on the under card as a possible opponent for September.

          and just and Broner or Mathysse to the card and it should do good numbers.

          If he does choose Khan they I would like to see
          Marcos Maidana (WBA) vs Keith Thurman or Shawn Porter (IBF)
          or
          Marcos Maidana (WBA) vs Adrien Broner
          Shawn Porter (IBF) vs Keith Thurman

              You think Mayweather-Maidana would draw 500k more than Mayweather-Khan in the USA?

                Exactly written.

                Lets see if Floyd is really a PPV King.

                Showtime cannot afford another Guerrero type of PPV bomb.

                  Floyd wasn't the WBC champ at the time, the fight with Mosley would have been bigger if both were champs at the time.


                  I still think he should unify from a marketing standpoint.

                    Not really feeling Thurman like everyone else he is too unknown a commodity and for me I need to see him step up his comp and see if he can handle those guys you mentioned

                      Yeah, because if he would've beaten ****ing Victor Ortiz or Andre "Shoulder roll" Berto before the Mosley-fight that would've changed the historic importance of the Mosley-fight SOOOOO much!
