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

[ussy]

According to Khan Pakistan will buy millions of PPVs.

I'm sure he knows himself that's bull**** but he has to try his best to secure the fight so can't blame him for saying that. In the UK and US he's probably right there are quite a few that would buy the PPV.

I'd bet all my e-points Mayweather doesn't choose Khan. There's no ****ing reason that betters him over anyone else.

Mayweather isn't choosing legacy or simply the most cash. He's a reward-risk fighter at this point in his career. He could fight Khan for 1 billion dollars but you bet your ass he'd fight Andre ****ing Berto instead if it was for 800 million.

Khan looked like **** in a fight against Algieri who Manny Pacquiao destroyed. Floyd just beat Manny.

Floyd is picking from Bradley, Brook, and Thurman. I don't see him picking anyone at 154 although it would be pretty cool if he fought Thurman for ALL the belts since Thurman has been at 154 before. Thurman has been holding onto that WBA 'regular' belt for awhile but the prestige of fighting Brook for "Undisputed" is eye catching. Thurman only has a chance if he stops Collazo within 5-6 rounds, preferably within 4 rounds.

Of course there is and he should focus on that. Bringing up regions that don't bring *** all money will matter little to 'money'

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

No it doesnt
And those populations especially dont translate to "Khan followers"

Nice try though...im sure those #s looked solid to some

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.

Khan doesn't have a good ring IQ. For an Olympic silver medalist, he makes a lot of amateur mistakes.

It takes brains to win an Olympic medal? Audley Harrison and Deontay Wilder were Olympic medalists. Wilder has AWFUL technique.
