Comments Thread For: Hearn: Mayweather-Khan Only Does 800K PPV Buys

[Dirk Diggler UK]

Only??? Lol

Exactly....that would be a pretty good number for this fight at this stage. Then factor in the UK PPV as well. It would do better than both Maidana fights.

Promoter Eddie Hearn of Matchroom Sport is backing the recent statements that were made by WBC/WBA welterweight and junior middleweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr.

British star Amir Khan is chasing a May 2nd date with Mayweather. The pound-for-pound king, in a recent interview on BoxingScene.com, said Khan wasn't known enough and his name didn't carry "enough weight" for a pay-per-view event.

Hearn agrees with Mayweather's opinion, stating that Khan's name value will do no better on American pay-per-view than Marcos Maidana or Robert Guerrero.

That's still more then what Canelo, Pac, or anyone else could make fighting someone that is not Floyd. Floyd clearly the top cash cow, like it or not.

They better not have Khan/Floyd & Cotto/Canelo on the same day.

That would never happen. Oscar knows Khan and Floyd would not only generate more buys, but would hurt Oscar's PPV. It would hurt Khan and Floyd's also, but it would still come on top.

In Sky Sports PPV? Probably, even more.

In Showtime PPV, it would be lucky to hit 600k.

There's no way in hell Mayweather vs Khan outsells Cotto vs Canelo in the United States. With UK and US PPV combined, it would, and it would generate more revenue because of that. But in the U.S., nope. Personally, as a huge Floyd fan, I would buy Canelo vs Cotto over Mayweather vs Khan. I still want to see Khan vs a good top WW coming off a good top win *Cough* Kell Brook *Cough*. Alexander is a good top WW, but Karrass is not a top win, especially since that was a bounce back win from losing to Porter, who Brook went on to clearly beat.

At this point even wins Maidana or Broner would be enough for Mayweather vs Khan to look more legit. Maidana just lost twice but in very competitive losses to Mayweather. Broner hasn't beaten anyone of note but that fight would be a great fight.

Haha try more like 500ppv buys

How many buys would Pacquiao/ Vargas get... thats what i need to know. . The only loser if there's no Floyd/Manny fight is Pacquiao, you dont agree prove me wrong. The only plan b Arum has is Jessie Vargas. . That is even more atrocious than Algieri. Floyd/Khan is a great fight, I'll buy it. . Vargas would be the third bum Pacquiao fights in his last four fights

Why the hell do people want Khan to clean out the division before he gets Floyd. The bar wasn't set that high for Maidana, Ortiz, Canelo or Guerrero. Khan is a solid opponent RIGHT NOW, he doesn't have to do nothing else. He has looked flawless in his last two fights, i mean i dont think he lost a round in either fight. 24 round winning streak, he earned his stripes for a Floyd showdown.

Why are we talking about Mayweather-Khan PPV buys? We should be talking about Mayweather-Pacquiao PPV buys.
