Amir Khan-Devon Alexander/Thurman-Bundu/Mares/Charlo

[IamInuit]

What Americans (and GBP in particular) don't realise is that Khan doesn't have that big a following in the UK. He made a decision to base himself in the states , and good luck to him. but you can't have it all ways. To the Brits , he's just another decent fighter that isn't a World Champion. I would bet that he has less than 500 fans at the fight in Vegas this weekend. (Closer to 200!) So when people talk about this "Stadium Filler" with Kell Brook, that's not down to Khan. The vast majority of people that go to these Stadium fights are there because of the occasion . I'm not saying that's a bad thing , just not to get carried away with this "He's big in the UK" bullshit.

Khan vs Brook could do as well as Froch/Groves. You underestimate the fervor of the British fans to get behind a big domestic punch up. Just have a look at the weekly small time domestic scene. Save Mexico, nobody is on that level. Even if Devon beats Khan, its still a big fight in Britain. With or w/o ppv. The gate would be huge if promoted properly. I mean no offense but just who the F was George Groves?

Should Khan prevail over Alexander, imo its the biggest "money" fight for Floyd outside the phantom one. Perhaps Floyd would even go to England.

You're absolutely right about the fervour of the British fans and like I said in my post , it's the occasion rather than the fighter. No doubt Khan v Brook would be PPV and it would be a stadium fight, but not because either of them has a massive following. Froch v Groves 2 was so big because of what happened in the first fight. I wonder how many of those fans at Wembley went to the Groves's next fight or for that matter Froch's next fight (if he does fight again.) they're not followers of a particular fighter like for example Hatton or even Josh Warrington. Like I said, a lot go because "it's the place to be!" ( bound to get slated for that!)

That's a good point but it still spells dollars. Half the people that buy ppv generally are probably bot boxing fans. I bet everyone in Britain know who Khan is. Nobody in Canada know who Jo Jo Dan is or even Troy Ross. Its an advantage that Britain can fill stadiums with non followers of either man. That is why Britain remains the historical foundation of the sport. The same type of rivalry between townships in soccer seem to run in boxing. More often then not, that domestic scene on a Saturday afternoon surpasses the so-called main event in the evening. Its the reason Khan/Brook is a huge payday for both men.
