Khan couldn't carry a PPV against anybody but Manny.
GGG is the future and it's not even close.
Nobody in the US knows who Khan is outside of hardcore boxing fans. Nobody.

LOL no that hasn't happened and is unlikely for the foreseeable future.Originally posted by Djanxx View PostNo he isn't, and you could argue that Anthony Joshua has already overtaken him in the UK.
However, Cotto, Canelo and Wlad are bigger stars but yeah, after those guys, there's Khan.
I can't really think of any other stars which has cross over appeal on an international stage.

LOOL this is so true, in fact when Khan fought on...I dunno, was it channel 5? Anyway, fight from the US, early hours of the morning and the guy got 6 million viewer (think it might have been ITV).

Khan is a draw. They just need to accept that.

Cotto-Canelo is a big fight, but I doubt that Canelo ever tops 600k PPV buys for any other fight.Originally posted by 7_rocket View PostSorry Canelo is

Khan is not even that popular in the UK. His fan base consists of a few hundred die hard UK Pakistani males. He tried to reinvent himself in the U.S. and got ktfo, now he is trying to win the ****** support by fighting in Dubai.
Khan is history, he is gutless and pathetic.
