Comments Thread For: Khan: Fighting Me Will Help Mayweather's Fan Base Grow

[SalimShady1212]

Khan can't say anything without haters coming out of their sewers. He hasn't even said it in a disrespectful manner and people make it sound like he's killed someone. Is it that hard to believe that people in the middle east who don't watch much boxing will learn who Mayweather is if he fights Khan. Mayweater doesn't need anymore of a fanbase but what Khan's saying is not disrespectful and does not request hatred.

Khan made $1.5 million in his last fight.

Mayweather makes $32m at least and in his last fight made around $200m.


I think he's fine as he is....

I need Mayweather to pick Brook. I need that to happen. I need Khan's complete mental breakdown in my life.

Yes.

Oh please let that happen!

What happened to leaving it in Haymon's hands 24hours ago?!

Here's the most obvious thing with this whole Khan-man vs Floyd illusion, even Khan-man knows he hasn't done enough to warrant a fight with Floyd. This is why he has to petition constantly to those who will listen, because he knows that he's been conning the public.

Khan gets a lot of hate for his comments - which usually are ****y as hell - but you have to take in to account that he's usually baited in to those responses by reporters. Read his comment again, he is clearly responding to a question. Today's media is all about generating clicks, views and comments - posting a controversial comment by Khan does just that.. I mean think about it, the guy HAS to be top 5 in terms of most talked about fighters (albeit negative talk). For the record, I dont think anything he said is wrong -- India, Pakistan and UAE combine for a population of over 1.5 billion. even .01% of that is 150,000 extra ppv buys.

PPV buys are tallied the US only so none of that matter.

Khan, enough is enough! please give it a break. Last fight of his career and you think he is worried about fan base. That's the same as a legless man looking for a new pair of running shoes.

who gives a **** about Pakistan Dubai and these middle eastern places they do nothing for Floyd and khan is talking out his ass because the ppl in Dubai were begging for Floyd to fight there without khan being the opponent khan brings nothing to the table

The only Mayweather fight that Dubai was begging for is Mayweather vs. Pacquiao, but that was mainly because of Pacquiao being a big name there (Dubai has a lot of Filipinos), not necessarily because of Mayweather. Currently, the fight that Dubai wants most is Khan vs. Pacquiao.

He does chat sh|t sometimes, but what did he say was wrong?

Just reading through this thread its just insults thrown at Khan but nothing to debunk what he said.

Floyd's fanbase might not grow, but his exposure will, especially in places in the Middle East. Boxing may not be big over there but there was talk of Floyd and Manny fighting in Dubai and as crude as it is, Khan is the same skin color as people from the Middle East so will generate interest, plus factor in the U.K

At the end of his career Mayweather is not bothered with fan base lol. He just made the most money ever in the history of boxing and sport for one event. Fan base is not a factor when it comes to whether Khan will get the fight or not.
