    Froch clearly has more momentum with the fans at the moment in britain, even though Khan might be lesser known.
    Khan against a rival like Froch-Groves would sell out Wembley.

    Khan against a known name to the UK public like Kessler would sell out the MEN or O2.

      He did against Barrera who was clearly over the hill in MEN. He also had 16,000 for Paul McCloskey. I can only imagine what if he had brought over Judah, who doesn't have star power and Khan could've easily brought him over or someone else like Peterson.

      Anyhow, hopefully Brook fight happens and then we'll see.

        Worldwide or in America? Because if we're using worldwide, no one outside the UK really knows who Froch is. Khan is more known worldwide than Froch and it isn't even close.

        Khan is also more well known in the UK, whether you think he's "popular" or liked. Popularity is a subjective thing. Froch got booed out of the building at the darts in his home town of Nottingham - does that mean he's unpopular?

        The bottom line is that people will watch guys like Mayweather and Khan even if you don't like them. We all know your ass is sitting at the screen looking like this every time Amir fights....

        • I just got back from Kashmir and I can assure you Khan is huge in Asia mainly South Asia (subcontinent) I visited local villages in and around Pakistan/Kashmir and when talking about boxing they all knew who Khan was. Lets be real Khan is by far the 3rd most popular boxer in the world and one of the most known fighter.

          India the second largest populated country knows who Khan is, if they didn't one of the most recognized actor in Bollywood wouldn't be asking Khan to get in to the movies(Bollywood). People in the middle east know who Khan is.

          Regarding race I believe this is not the only reason Khan is disliked by many in the UK, Look at Moeen Ali the cricketer he is adored by the The English fans and is known to be very humble gentleman.

          I come from a similar background and can tell you not once have I received any form of racism. I'm a huge fan of Khan but the guy chats **** and comes across like a douche, to deny that it is pathetic.

          • I still have no idea where people get the idea that Khan could beat Floyd. All I hear about is his speed. You need more than speed to beat Floyd.

              Well 'would' is a big difference from 'did'.

              Froch has actually done it and Khan hasn't.

              Although I'm sure Khan-Brook could sell out Wembley with the right card and build up.
