I understand you want to root for the European thats cool, but facts are facts. If overseas fighters want to be big they fight in America. Or did I miss somebody on the top of the PPV charts?

LOL. Really who is he fighting on PPV. Because Khan fight wouldnt even be on PPV in America which is what drives PPV numbers in boxing. Wow im amazed how a man with one notable win is now the next great PPV draw. 10k where? in Sheffield? Not in America, where he needs to go to fight the biggest names, where his name is not the draw.

Who gives a flying *** if it's in America? Brook is a UK fighter. How many tickets does Thurman sell in the UK?

You obviously have no idea what you're talking about so leave it please. You're making a right fool out of yourself.

Yeah alright. Brook vs Khan does 80k tickets at Wembley and probably does one of the best PPV sells in british boxing history, and each of them gets between $5-7 million but because it's not on US soil it doesn't count? Are you really that deluded?

Khan vs Brook wouldn't be a PPV fight in the US or in the UK.

Clearly the Brook fight is way bigger for Khan than Bradley is.

Bradley brings a bigger American fan base and a bigger purse with possible PPV in America. Khan wants to be a major boxing star and he understands he needs the American consumer to do that, so he will fight the fighter that gets him closer to that goal. Khan will get more money fighting Brook most likely because of the live gate, but as I said Khan wants the American notoriety and Bradley gets home that.

Bradley would not bring a bigger purse and would not be PPV in America. Khan is probably already a bigger star in America than Bradley. That's why he was headlining the MGM while Bradley was down the street in a smaller venue.

The only fights that can make you a real star in America are Mayweather and Pacquiao. If Khan or Brook can't get those fights, the next best option would be against each other.

Thurman is just not an appealing fight to anyone except Thurman and a handful of his fans online.

LMAO dont be angry with me i didnt design the system. Brook is not a draw in America, he might as well not be a draw. Khan doesnt care Brook can draw in Sheffield because Khan wants an American fan base. Bradley who is not a major Draw in America but bigger then Brook would get Khan if Khan was offered both fights. Just the way it is.

No you didn't design the system, and you certainly don't know it either.

No one other than Mayweather or Pacquiao, or maybe Marquez is going to increase Khan's fanbase in America. Certainly not Bradley who has no fans at all.

Khan vs Brook is a career defining fight for both fighters. Khan is right to chase May/Pac because those guys are the biggest names in boxing, but other than that, as even his promoter said, Brook is next in line.

Do you honestly think you know more about Amir Khan than Oscar de la Hoya?

Did Bradley and Marquez fight on PPV? Khans a bigger draw then both yet Khan has not headlined a PPV. Bradley Khan would most likely be a PPV fight and khan would probably get a higher purse for that fight.

Thurman is an appealing fight to most Americans, Brook is not. Although I have seen a few Brook fights no one really knew who he was until he defeated Porter, while Thurman has been in the discussion for some time now.

They did a whopping 350k buys or something like that. 100% of those buyers were mexicans, guaranteed. Maybe 99.99% as Mathed and Hougigo might have been the two americans buying that ppv card.

Khan vs Brook would probably get higher ratings than Khan vs Thurman in America.

Khan could have fought Brook but instead fought Alexander right? Why did he do that for far less money? So do you really think Khan wouldnt do that again? For a fighter with a better name and resume no less. Your the one that is wrong your to blind to admit it.

Bradley was the opponent. He can't do a PPV on his own merit. I am telling you now, categorically, that Khan-Bradley would not be on HBO PPV.

No one really knows who Thurman is either. You do realise that Khan and Brook can make $5m each fighting each other? And that doesn't even take into account PPV revenue. How can Thurman compete with that?
