    It's GBP/Showtime who will have most invested, they owe Khan no favours, if they choose this fight it will be because they believe it to be the most lucrative option. They have access to the figures, no offence but a poster can't sit there and claim to know they know the financials better than those whose actual job it is to know them. Anyhow, they haven't publicly backed Khan v Mayweather yet.

      Orrrr...

      Mayweather, despite his obvious ability to outbox a guy like Maidana, isn't crazy about Maidana's power, heart, chin, and intangibles.

      Because Maidana is clearly the more lucrative option to me. Maidana is on fire and Khan is in a slump, and like I said, no one knows how many Brits will even support the guy. It's not like he's the prodigal son of the UK or something. I remember dude had beef with how he felt the UK was treating him. He's not exactly the darling to Brits that Hatton was now is he?

        Floyd would be more worried about Ali having a 72nd birthday comeback that Maidana.

        It's seriously the most boring, deAdahot, ******ed fight anyone ever cAn put together.

        If you think losing every single round to Devon Alexander is being on fire then you need help.

        KhAn never could ever put up such an embarrassing display !! Not ever.

        Just except Paulie is as good or better that Broner and ypur whole case goes out the window.

          He just didn't fight Alexander altogether.

            Everything I've read from Floyd suggests he prefers Maidana. He told Broner not to rematch him, said Maidana was "absolutely" in the running for the May 3rd fight and rubbished Khan's claims of having a contract.

            Because Maidana is clearly the more lucrative option to me. Maidana is on fire and Khan is in a slump, and like I said, no one knows how many Brits will even support the guy.

            I don't know who is the more lucrative option but I'd say Shotime/GBP do.

              Lol alright ill humor you

              I think everyone knows Floyd can outbox Chino. But I also think Floyd is a safety first guy. He might not like the idea of being against a relentless guy like that, even though his brain tells him he can win easy.

              Khan has been stopped and wobbled. Dropped and made to dance... Maidana has always ended the fight on his feet.. Even when he went in with poor conditioning and the wrong gameplan.. Or didn't have his trainer, Rudy Perez, in his corner because of cancer. He has strapped up and pushed forward and NEVER let another man stop him. He is dogged, and he has more ability than many give him credit for.

              Broner beat Pmag. Pmag outlanded but Broner landed the more authoritative shots.

                Maidana represents a larger share of the American market. Which is more important ..

                That's not hard to understand, is it?


                Maidana has never been on PPV so there's no evidence that he's suddenly going to draw significantly more than Khan will. Floyd Mayweather is virtually drawing this fight on his own in America and the difference between what Khan-Mayweather and Khan-Maidana would draw won't be much at all.

                Khan appeals to a wider range of markets than Maidana, it's quite simple.

                  Just show some highlights of him landing flashy combos on Judah and Garcia, dropping Madiana and a couple of KOs.

                  This is the biggest challenge Floyd has ever faced!!

                  casuals aren't too concerned with facts, they'll eat that **** up.

                  and hardcore fans will buy it despite their protests, if you bought Ortiz or Guerrero you're buying this. Let's face it, if there was gonna be a protest it would have happened well before now.
                  lmao!!! i see ur trying to help sell it already lol!!!

                    I agree, Khan being the most lucrative option is a myth..

                      Listen to Mayweather's own words. He talks about Khan having a "cool fanbase". He knows how far reaching Khan's appeal is.

                      Maidana's fanbase is far smaller. He's not Mexican.
