Khan is a Superstar is his country, and well known in the U.S. Marcos isn't. And the whole credible B-side thing you are talking about has nothing to do with what was stated at first. You said that Marcos is just as famous (maybe not using that word) as Khan after the Broner fight. I'm saying that beating Broner doesn't give you a fan base as large as Broner's or even Khan's for this discussion.

Maidana is credible, but he won't bring as many seats as Khan, we've seen this with the un-credible chavez jr. Neither has a real shot at beating Floyd, but at least Khan brings a different look and more fans.

Khan isn't as popular in the UK as Hatton was in his prime. And even that fight didn't do wonderful compared to Floyd's best pay days. Floyd's best pay days were against guys that energized a large part of the US fan base. Delahoya.. Canelo. If Maidana can even pull half of that same Hispanic fan base.. It's a wrap. What will do the rest for Maidana is he has a whole lot of momentum at this point while Amir Khan is at a standstill. They can easily cast him as a beast that mollested his lil bro on 24/7 and keep replaying Broner getting posterized to rev people up for the fight.

Who is more "famous" is irrelevant. Miley Cyrus is more famous than Buffy the Body but that doesn't mean we wanna see her twerk more.

I'm saying more Americans will buy a chino fight. And the larger share of that all important market will even out or trump the UK factor. That's what I'm saying.

You just listed 4 fighters with 4 championship belts...which one is the champion?

Hint: His name rhymes with Floyd.

You posted that because? Am I Floyd? I'm posting as a fan. And as a fan, if Floyd is fighting, I want him to beat other champions, as he's done consecutively ever since Judah fight. Maybe he should fight Rios or Khan.
