Did Brook do a better job than Khan ?

he probably meant Mark DeLuca.

Brook hasn't fought Lo Greco.

[Coco]

Imagine how huge Khan v Benn would be, esp if they could find a title to fight for.

Brook - Hatton set the record for views on a regular Sky Sports show before Froch - Bute bet it

[Boxerbeetle]

The fights huge. Khans obviously a massive name but Brook’s big in his own right too. He did record figures on regular sky sports at one bit. It was only when Froch fought Bute that he was beaten.

There was 27k at Brammall Lane when Spence came over & as brilliant as Spence is / was he was a complete unknown to anyone outside of hardcore fans. It wasn’t like a Golovkin coming over at the time.

I don’t think it would do that well in Cardiff though. There’s a lot of Asians & Khan fans in Greater Manchester & West Yorkshire. He’s gone to restaurants in places like Bradford, Leeds, Huddersfield, Keighley, Dewsbury etc & he gets mobbed by fans lining the streets..

However it’s one thing to travel an hour or so away but it’s a long trek down to Cardiff both their fan bases.

There’s loads of Asians in Cardiff. Quick google search suggests as much as 8%, although that seems a bit high to me. I’m sure a lot of them would come out to support Khan.

Yeah although Cardiff itself is a smaller city compared to the likes of Manchester, Birmingham and I think even Sheffield and Leeds.

8% of the Cardiff is only around 20,000 people.

The above poster was right. West Yorkshire and Greater Manchester have millions of Asians. Loads love boxing as well. It will be a strong Khan atmosphere.

My mate texted me last night to say he's got me a ticket, no idea where but that's looking a gift horse in the mouth.

Things have changed since Sky rejected Khan vs McCloskey. What a funny state of affairs that was - I remember Barry Hearn wearing a "Sky box office" T shirt in the press conference as a dig.

Which press conference did he wear that?

McCloskey was promoted by Matchroom at the time wasn’t he?

From memory, Sky didn’t reject it as it PPV per se, they actually advertised it as being PPV until a few of the undercard fights got cancelled, they tried to put it on regular Sky and Khan had a hissy fit. Believe it ended up on Primetime in the end?

There was a good crowd there. Loads of Irish.

Yeh, I believe it did around 200k buys on Primetime or however that system worked.

I honestly don’t remember anything about the fight or the general show, apart from the ending. Can’t even remember if I even watched it live or just listened on radio.

I definitely didn’t buy it, although possibly streamed it. The only fight I ever remember buying on Primetime was Froch - Dirrell.

Yeah Barry was really trying for the rematch based on the dodgy stoppage.

I think it was the main press conference in fight week.
