I was for it after May-Pac but at this point why bother

[BrometheusBob.]

smh why tho

LOL. What fanbase? All Khan's shows are undersellers. Even against Canelo – the current money man in boxing – sales were pathetically slow.

Are these nutters so deluded they actually are taken in by Khan 's lies.

The ONLY fanbase Khan has is his Pakistani twitter followers who haven't got a pot to p.iss in which takes them straight out of the equation.Khan is hated in America and the UK alike .Frankly for his way above his station attitude.A fighter that whenever he steps up he gets knocked out but somehow he thinks his stupid predictable excuses ...every time ..actually wash ...lol.As you say he is a under seller and that's fact.

What a joke of a fight. These circus fights will continue because people are paying to see them

I've never seen Jeff Gordon at all, let alone KO'd 3x.

I've never seen him fight but rumor has it that Jeff hornacek has an iron chin.

Wicky, Khan's fanbase will be heading to Dubai in droves to see the fight. There is another thread about Khan's fanbase and he is still one of Britain's more popular fighters. The Instagram poll proved Khan has a bigger fanbase than the others mentioned.

If the fight gets made, "PPV will outta hand". The US and Britain will be buying. Asia will be buying. If Top Rank and Haymon, who advises Khan, markets the fight accordingly, this could be huge. Australia will be buying to see who Jeff Garcia may fight next!

No it doesn't. It only says that 48% of the people who participated want to see Pac fight Khan, probably to see him KO'd again. Only 44,815 people took part in the poll so it proves nothing other than a general level of disinterest. I'm not sure about your definition of fanbase, but ~21k people voting for Khan is hardly something to start shouting about.

Face it, Khan has a very average following in reality. Most of his events under perform financially. He's just not a very big draw and he's famous with casual fans for all the wrong reasons. That's not a fanbase.

Pacquiao again fighting someone coming from a loss, but Mayweather is the cherry picker doe.

Regardless, a decent fight I guess. Haymon giving us Errol Spence vs Brook, Thurman vs Garcia, Khan vs Pacquiao, Julian Williams vs Jermall Charlo, Danny Jacobs vs GGG, Jarret Hurd vs Tony Harrison, Gevonta Davis vs Pedreza, etc etc, but Haymon bad for boxing doe, smh.

Who would you prefer him to fight excluding Crawford~?.

So you want an out-of-prime Pacquiao to fight the youngest lion out there for less money and where he might get hurt instead of taking a fight with Khan where he could be making more millions and with less risk...right.

People act as if Pacman has to prove something...guess what? He doesn't. You kids never learn.

Go get that dough Pacman

At the top level which Manny still says he is at for top dollar that fans are expected to pay he should be fighting the top fighters or do mugs like you still want to pay top dollar for second rate fights?.........right!

Amir Khan has only a few Pakistani taxi driver fans in the uk .the rest of the uk. can't stand the sights of him.His couple of ppv fights flopped and the first one lasted only 54 seconds when he was knocked out by a nobody that's why he took off to the states and has only fought once in the uk since where he couldn't fill a small arena .Oscar high on drugs put him top of the bill at MGM with Alexander , they gave tickets away ...Khan took about a bus load of fans ! Khan has 1.8m twitter fans from mainly Pakistan who think boxing is something to do with cricket ...get real mate.
