    How irrelivant is Pacman/Khan in comparison to..

    Thurman/Garcia and Brook/Spence??

    I mean, we need to keep it real right now. All these young, legit welterweights are doing battle with each other and the best team Pacman did was drag Khan out of oblivion to paste him?

    The fight is about as good as, (surely no better than) Porter/Berto. 2 unnecessary fights with the difference of course being one is coming with a hefty price that it's not worthy of.

    Pac should be right in the mix trying to fight the likes of Thurman, Brook, Spence etc.

    He just beat Bradley and Vargas back to back, so he's still operating on a pretty high level but i suppose it's just about taking the best low risk/high reward fights at this stage.

      I voted it should be free. I never buy fights anyway. I just watch them for free a week later on cable channels I already pay for. No Mayweather or Pacquiao fight has been free for many years I though some of Mayweather's fights should have been free also. As long as they can make more money with PFV than free they will usually make it PFV. Khan and Pacquiao both have lots of fans so this fight will probably make good money. It isn't as important as Thurman vs Garcia was. Pacquiao is a world champion and Khan is a top 10 contender with lots of fans especially in the UK, It is an important fight.

        All of these fights are relevant in determining who the next welterweight king will be.

          Should have voted for Crawford then. I think it's decent. Pacquiao isn't a whirlwind anymore, he might have a difficult time stopping Khan although I think he'll hurt him plenty, and if Khan is busy he can bank rounds, even ones where he gets wobbled a bit.

          I really want to see the Crawford fight though, win or lose that will do wonders for the sport. Young guys need to get the hype. Crawford better show up to fight though. It will separate him from the crop.

              Well it's not impossible. If all you do is land one punch that wobbles a guy but then he schools you and punishes you the rest of the round, you still lost the round. Kov dominated rd 1 though.

                  Only if Khan wins, imo. I don't think Bob puts manny in with a pbc fighter he has a chance at losing to. I think he does the crawford fight before he goes that route.

                    Pac-Khan is about as relevant as Floyd-Berto in every sense of $ it can make.. Thurman-Garcia, Brook-Spence is for the top 3 places in the division..
