Showtime Sports President Stephen Espinoza says that Amir Khan is one of the main names that Mayweather. is looking at for his next fight on May 3rd. The other name is Maidana. Espinoza says that Floy Mayweather also has some other fighters that he’s looking at for that date, but he’s not saying who these guys are.
It would be a big shock if Floy chose to fight someone other than Amir Khan or Marcos Maidana, because there’s not much to choose from at 147 right now in terms of big names. There’s Shawn Porter, Keith Thurman, Kell Brook and Devon Alexander. But it’s difficult to picture Floy choosing one of those guys to fight next
“Amir Khan is definitely one of the leading contenders for the fight,” Espinoza said to the Telegraph. “I know Khan wants the fight. It’s definitely a topic of conversation. Maywether hasn’t made a decision. I expect an announcement by mid-January or end of January. At this point, it’s still wide open. Floyd has not made a decision yet about who he is going to fight… Maidana has made a late case and a strong arguement for the fight.”
