Khan: I'm Fighting Big Names, Look Who Brook Fought

•Mar 25, 2014

Former champion Amir Khan (28-3, 19KOs) is not even considering the possibility of a fight with domestic rival Kell Brook (32-0, 22KOs) - unless Brook captures a world title or beats a high level opponent at welterweight. Khan makes his welterweight debut on May 3rd against former WBA champion Luis Collazo, as part of the Floyd Mayweather vs. Marcos Maidana undercard at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. In his last contest, Brook, the IBF's mandatory challenger, stopped overmatched opponent Alvaro Robles.

Schaefer: 5/3 PPV Undercard Most Expensive To Date

About a month ago, BoxingScene.com spoke to Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer, and he was trying to work out the numbers in order to put together an event where Floyd Mayweather Jr., Amir Khan, and Adrien Broner would all be in action in separate fights. For that to happen, a considerable amount of money would have to be invested in the undercard. How considerable? Schaefer told us back then - it would be the most expensive pay-per-view undercard to date.

Stacked May 3 Card Another Reminder of The Old Days

•Mar 25, 2014

By Lyle Fitzsimmons - By rule, we old guys tend to over-romanticize the past. Back in our day, we insist, the cars were faster, the women prettier and the food tastier. Or something like that. Anyway, under further review and across all walks of life, it’s not always the case. But when it comes to boxing, it seems the “things were better in the past” approach really does hold a little more water. We’ve all heard the gray-beards rant about the days of eight weight divisions, when champions fought several times a year and how matches between the best fighters were more common than today. And when it came to fight cards, well… there was more to them than simply a main event. As recently as the 1980s, in fact, when I attended my first professional shows, the evenings seemed far weightier from beginning to end than is typically case on today’s made-for-TV extravaganzas.

As previously reported, Amir Khan will make his welterweight debut against former Ricky Hatton foe Luis Collazo on the undercard of Floyd Mayweather's fight with Marcos Maidana in Las Vegas on May 3. The bout with Collazo will be Khan's first in 13 months since he struggled to dispatch veteran Julio Diaz in Sheffield last April. Khan clearly hopes victory over the 32-year-old Collazo will propel him closer to a lucrative showdown with Mayweather. Hatton also made his welterweight debut against Collazo in Boston in May 2006, when the Manchester man was highly fortunate to escape with a unanimous decision win.

Former 140 and 147-pound champion Paulie Malignaggi says Mauricio Herrera did enough last week to pull off an upset twelve round decision win over undefeated WBC/WBA 140-pound champion Danny Garcia. That didn't happen, with Garcia being awarded a twelve round majority decision win in Bayamon. After the fight, Garcia discussed the possibility of moving up in weight to the welterweight division. Father and trainer, Angel Garcia, disagrees with his son's potential move to a higher weight.

BROOKLYN, NY - Its no secret that Brooklyn native and current WBA International Welterweight Champion Luis Collazo is hoping to land a shot at facing pound-for-pound king Floyd "Money" Mayweather and on his quest he has received the support of Brett Yormark, CEO of Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY. Yormark called a possible Mayweather vs. Collazo bout a "Dream Fight" for Barclays Center. "How great would it be for Brooklyn if the favorite son of Brooklyn fights this legendary fighter Floyd Mayweather? I think that goes down as, in many respects, the rational for what we want to do here," Yormark told Mitch Abramson of Boxing Scene.
