Comments Thread For: Khan Explains Why He's Big Enough For Mayweather

[LacedUp]

Pakistan population: 200 million
GCC countries population (where lots of Pakistani expats are): 50 million
India population: 1.3 billion

You think a total potential consumer base of 1.5 billion will pay $100K for the fight?

Add to that:

UK population: 60 million

Khan is the most internationally known fighter after Mayweather and Pacquiao. No one else is as popular as Khan after these two. Not even Klitschko. Not even GGG. Not even Cotto.

And there is no other fighter who brings in a fanbase from the Middle East and South Asia. None.

There's literally no sense to this post. Do you think population has anything to do with it? Jesus.

How many Khan fights have been aired in India before? If they have, for how much?

No he's not. Zou Shiming is better known than Khan easily, and so are many others. He could rematch Canelo, Cotto, Pacquiao and make more than what he would against Khan easy.

Who cares about "fanbase" from middleeast or south asia? I hate to break it to you, but they bring zero income. I was in india two weeks ago, and you're fooling yourself if you think Khan is some kind of King.

Sky PPV would obviously bring the fight good income. I don't see much difference in what him and Brook provide on the UK side of things. Khan is not a PPV fighter, brook is.

In the US, there would probably be a difference

You're so irrational.

What does population have to do with it? That's such a dumb thing to say. It has a lot to do with it. It shows market size.

Zou Shiming is more known? Wait, where did that even come from? Maybe you thought China is in South Asia? Are you really serious? After this, I won't even engage you anymore. Go to school.

Who cares about a fanbase from Middle East which has a population with very large cash flows? Who cares about South Asia where 100's of millions of South Asians will for the first time see a South Asia fighter in a super-fight? I thought you were a smart guy because of your posts. I'm shocked. You're very biased and ignorant.

Like I said before, we are talking about a September fight. Cotto and Canelo are fighting in November, and Pacquiao is "injured". GGG at 154 is drained so no point in watching that.

Berto, Thurman, Mayfield, and Kelly Brook are nobody's, and they wouldn't bring in any money, or any danger. They are easy opponents for Floyd, who feasts on their styles. Moreover, they don't have the best ring IQ's.

The only guy who brings in the most money at 147 and the most danger to Floyd right now is Amir Khan. Stop with your ignorant hate.

the population of a country doesnt translate to PPV buys!! LMAO!!!!!

Of course it does. It shows a potential market size. Go to school.

No, it most certainly does not show marketsize. It shows market potential . There's a vast difference.

Mate, I live in Asia. I do business here. I think I know what I need to know about it. And you said outside of Pacquiao, Mayweather Khan is the world's third most known fighter. absolute bollocks.

Klitschko, Shiming, Cotto, marquez, Canelo and many many more are just as known, if not more known than Khan.

No I'm not biased and ignorant, I'm a realist. You don't have a clue when it comes to getting money out of these regions. I do. As I said, I not only live here but also work here on a daily basis and go to India every month.

And why would you think a Pakistani fighter is popular in India? I'm sitting at my office and have two indians here - just asked them if they know Amir Khan. They do. "Seen him on videos" he says. "do indians support him?" I asked.

"Not really" he says. "We like Muhammad Ali".

The point of it all is that even though you might have a billion fans in india - Only 11% of the indian population is online, meaning their exposure to someone like Amir Khan is incredibly small.

At the same time, he would never be PPV and the Indian cable companies would never pay a significant amount of money for a boxing fight. That's a guarantee.

Yeah, Khan is known for his ring IQ

Obviously. I said market "potential".

You live in Asia and you don't know what South Asia is? Where did the Chinese fighter's mention come from? Obviously you don't know your geography. LOL.

I never said Khan was the biggest name after Maywether and Pacquiao. I said that AT 147, Khan is the BIGGEST name AFTER Mayweather and Pacquiao. Is there a name bigger than these 3 at 147? Please tell me.

You're very biased against Khan for whatever reason and hang off Brook's nuts like he's the next Messiah.

Here's what you should take home from this:

-Khan brings a fan base and potential market (South Asia) never brought by any fighter in the history of Boxing.
-Khan also brings the Middle Eastern fan base (lots of South Asia expats in the Middle East, and gulf arabs like Khan. Just look at The National: A UAE newspaper. It has written many articles about Khan).
-Khan is the BIGGEST NAME at 147 AFTER Mayweather and Pacquiao.
-Khan is the most dangerous fight for Floyd right now. (don't bring up GGG. At 154, he's drained. And Cotto? Floyd already beat him). Khan has the fastest hands in Boxing right now.
-Khan has good ring IQ. He's an Olympic medalist. You don't just get an Olympic medal for being brawling, brainless puncher. It takes brains to be at the top of the cream in the amatuers and win the medal.


I don't want to engage you on this anymore. You're biased and ignorant. Ignorance is bliss. Have yourself a blissful day.

No, you said market size. That's literally what you said.

What does Geography have to do with it? You said Khan was the third most well known fighter in the world and he's not. It's simple. I said Shiming was more known which he is. 300 million people watched his debut ffs.

That's not what you said. You specifically mentioned Cotto, GGG & Klitschko so you're just backtracking like a fanboy. And Mayweather might fight at 154 anyway, so that point is moot.

To your points:

- But there's not much potential in south asia right now. They won't pay PPV and they won't pay high license fees
- Naz brought a market from the middle east where he was 10 times the fighter Khan is. Just like he was in the states and in Britain. The market wasn't special
- Khan isn't the most dangerous fighter at 147 right now. That would be the undefeated punchers, Brook or Thurman. A maidana rematch is more dangerous than a Khan fight
- It's more than 10 years ago he fought in the Olympics and he has consistently proved in the pros that he's not the smartest fighter
- You don't know sht about amateur boxing

You are clueless and that's why you don't want to debate.

I got things to do. You're just arguing, going around in circles, and you don't know $h!t about Boxing. Read all my posts in this thread. Peace out.

Yeah sure, I'm the one who doesn't know anything about boxing.

[ussy]

I'm Pakistani and trust me nobody what so ever gives a **** about boxing, like somebody else said its only cricket and a Khan vs Floyd fight won't change that one bit.

According to Khan Pakistan will buy millions of PPVs.
