Marcos Maidana and Floyd Mayweather Jr. advisors in talks
February 17, 2014
Marcos Maidana's manager told ******.com on Monday that he expects to talk today with Al Haymon, the advisor of both Maidana and Floyd Mayweather Jr., regarding a potential fight against Mayweather.
Amir Khan also is in the running for the May 3 bout. Khan said in December that he already has signed his contract to face Mayweather at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
"We are scheduled to talk to Al Haymon this afternoon, in a few hours, and then, we'll see how things are going. We'll have to talk," said Maidana's manager, Sebastian Contursi.
"I think that they have to make a decision either today or tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. They have to make the decision. It's up to them. It's always going to be complicated when it involves Floyd Mayweather."
Maidana cited the expected birth of his daughter in mid-March as a reason he would not be ready for an April rematch with Adrien Broner, but Contursi said that a mega bout with Mayweather "would be a different story."
Maidana upset Broner by a unanimous decision to win the WBA's 147-pound title in December.
Mayweather stated on his Twitter account on Feb. 3 that he would allow his fans to decide whether his next opponent will be Khan or Maidana. Khan won the voting 20,105-to-15,474, according to the Mayweather Promotions website.

Hope Maidana gets it, he deserves it at least. Khan can rematch Danny or fight Shawn Porter and earn his spot, but he will lose to both of them anyway.
All the people who begged to see this fight, hope u enjoy falling a sleep like during canalo fight, Guerrero fight! Devon, khan, Kotelnik all beat maidana and u think maidana has a chance? Mayweather has a sold chin some of you might have forgot! Khan would deffo been more interesting fight! Shame!
Maybe you fell asleep during the CanAlo fight because CanAlo only exists in your dreams. And when did Mayweather sell his chin?

STFU already with this bs. The Khan fight sucked and it always sucked, the only people that want it are Brits and even a lot of them don't think Khan has a chance.
Both guys will lose, but at least with Maidana he has a legit punchers chance. Khan has zero chance and he is gonna be dancing around the ring on wobbly legs the second Floyd lands one of his straight right hands. Most people think Khan struggles to beat Porter, but you think he can give Floyd problems? Please, the Khan of 2 years ago is dead. He is a shell of his old self with a chin/confidence in shambles. Floyd whoops Khan like he did against Gatti.

Its widely known that Broner cherry picked Pauli to win his WW strap but now we are going to act like Maidana is some world beater at WW because he beat Broner (who should be at 140) and Josesito Lopes (who is an average fighter at best)?
Marcos Maidana is a world beater. ~LoadedWraps
Cherrypicker will pick who he deems is the easiest target, so Maidana it is then
Lol, yeah right... Tell me again how Khan earned a fight with Mayweather!?

Honestly I was pretty ambiguous at first with Maidana and Khan but I want Khan even harder right now. Pac's last fight with Rios for me foreshadow May diong the same to Maidana. His last two fights have been boring as ****t. Dude needs to get someone exciting in there. I would honestly see him fight Paulie than either of these two guys.
I hope this is true so we can all have ourselves "Mayweather vs Baldomir II", but the same ppl better not complain.
With Maidana we all know how its gonna go with Khan well you never know
Not fighting Khan now may turn out to be Mayweather's mistake and good for Khan cuz he can hopefully take Porter's belt, which not only makes him relevant and deserving, but is good to get used to the weight.
Khan be like:

He had a glass chin they said, but knock your azz on the floor and beat you they never said.

Floyd is like water, always taking the path of least resistance.
For a supposed C grade fighter, Khan has been ducked by 2 of the supposed top 3 p4p fighters. Must be something about him.
oh please, the same Amir Khan who fought Blown up Lightweights in back to back fights?
Floyd is like water, always taking the path of least resistance.
The chance to fight yet another slow plodding brawler to another boring 12rd shutout was too much to resist. Speed and reach presents problems Floyd just doesn't want to deal with.
