Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer is also working on a fight that would pit super lightweight champion Amir Khan against top-challenger Marcos Maidana. Schaefer said HBO gave him a money number and he has made offers to Khan and Maidana over the past few days. 

"I'm waiting to hear back from them," Schaefer told BoxingScene.com. "It's in the fighters' court."

Schaefer said it would be contested in either Las Vegas or Detroit. Detroit? Schaefer explained that the greater Detroit area is said to have the largest Muslim population of any U.S. city. Khan is Muslim.

Schaefer noted that Prince Naseem Hamed - also Muslim - in 1999 fought a featherweight title fight against Cesar Soto in Detroit.
