Amir Khan vs. Danny Garcia

[Butch718]

There really aren't many draws in boxing. The big cash cows are Mayweather and Pacquiao. Then Cotto, Canelo, JCCJ and The Klitschko brothers. Maybe Marquez depending on who he's fighting.

Hell, guys like Ward, Donaire, Bradley and Martinez have sub par to no followings whatsoever.

Khan's more popular in the UK. Guys like him, Froch and Haye sell better in the UK. Before this loss, he probably would have filled up most of Wembley Stadium. If had beaten Garcia, a fight against Mayweather would have been very lucrative financially.

Does Kahn even count as a big name? His crowds don't even reach 4k unless Golden Boy give out comp tickets.

Boxing's a sport where you need a racial, national, or other cultural following. Khan's chosen to leave teh UK for the states despite that financial interest. He had 4,000 in the arena for fight #5 in the UK, I'd bet.

Khan is a big name in Britain

Kell Brook's big in the UK too but he's not a big name.
I still don't look at Khan as some big name, I just see him as a guy that fights on HBO a lot like Berto or Showtime with Kayode

Kell Brook's popularity is nowhere near Khan's in the UK. It's not even close.
