    Would Mayweather vs Brook generate more UK PPV money than Khan?

    Sure khan is a household name in the UK but that's for being a celebrity that happens to box. The real boxing fans know he stands no chance and they are the people that will buy the PPV at the end of the day, not khans average twitter follower.

    On the other hand Kell Brook is a big name on the UK boxing scene and I'm sure more british boxing fans would be interested in staying up all night and paying to watch him fight rather than just watching the inevitable 2 minute youtube knockout highlights of khan the next day.

      There is no chance in hell a Brook UK PPV outsells a Khan PPV.

      People would pay just to see Khan knocked out.

      You need to factor in the "hate" buys like Floyd does.

          Eddie Hearn named Khan as the most marketable UK boxer, ahead of Froch, Brook, Fury,Groves etc. Khan is the highest profile active UK fighter.

                  lol you might regret saying this if the UK PPV goes well, it could be Mayweather v Brook in September.

                      LOL who knows I don't see Danny agreeing to fight Floyd until next year; even if Khan beats Floyd they won't rematch until next year.

                          Was this before the Diaz fight? I think his stock has dropped a lot after analysis of that fight and his general inactivity. Which casual believes he's still a world class fighter?

                          I guess time will tell but my prediction is a mayweather khan fight will do 800k PPV buys and thats a US-UK total.

                              If Brook beat Khan first, the viewing figures would be bigger than Mayweather-Khan.

                                  lol Brook can't even beat Khan though, are Brits really that impressed with fighters who have yet to prove themselves?

                                      Who has Brook beaten for anyone to think he stands more of a chance than Khan? I know Khan has major flaws, but at least he has real experience.

                                      And Khan vs Floyd would be a much bigger PPV.
