    Explain the poll to me:

    Ok so Khan won the M-Promotions poll but other polls have Maidana ahead. With that said, let's assume that the reason Khan won was because most of his fans in wanted to see the fight. Business wise, would it make more sense to make the Maidana fight based on the other polls since more people voted, meaning more people are interested and possibly buy the PPV? And how does boxnation pay for the fights (assuming most of Khan's fans will watch it here)? Don't they televise even the PPV events on regular TV?

    The Mayweather Promotions poll was different than the others. When you voted for Maidana, his vote count increased by 1. Khan's increased by 3.

        It was a rigged poll

        Maidana is leading on every other poll but this one. How odd

            From what I saw it seemed that someone had evoked the intire ****** world and gotten them to wote for kahn because he is ******.

            Look at the comments, seem like may weather promotion are working closely with the Taliban on this on.

            Good God I don't wanna see glass chin get smacked around again, Maidana is a old world warrior that has a determination and grit that is 100 times more dangerous then khans on two speed.

              Because this is a worldwide poll.

              If people were too dumb to vote on the poll that actually mattered that's their problem

                What about boxnation? If more fans of the UK see the fight on there would that generate more money than the US buying PPVs? Just trying to understand the business logic of it

                  Maidana gets his shot in Sep

                  Floyd knows what he is doing, by picking Khan, he has made Maidana in to the boogeyman with certain fans demanding the fight, when Maidana beats Broner in the rematch, his stock will further rise and Floyd will be there to cash in and make a joke out of the slow plodding midget

                  Genius on Floyd and GBP part

                  but Khan will beat Floyd so all of that crap will not be executed

                    The Brits have not taken to PPV the way America has. More importantly, there are only 60 million Brits compared to 300mm Americans. Its usually just tertiary revenue.

                    Khan will help fill seats and indeed brings an international appeal to the fight. But the illusion that he has a substantial PPV following is, well, an illusion.

                    The poll is just a PR scam.
