Mayweather to fight next on September 13th, Khan ruled out

I thought Floyd would avoid Khan again, he already established the pattern of avoidance back when he ducked Khan and fought Maidana instead. It's unlikely he'll ever be prepared to face Khan.

Chimo has just said two things: 1) He doesn't know if they can arrive in time to the September date. It could be 2015. 2) They want to invite Floyd to fight in Argentina.

We've known this for months now. The rematch is going to be either Maidana or Cotto I believe. Once Cotto get's destroyed, they'll announce Maidana 2.

A Maidana rematch would be my bet. I wouldn't mind seeing Khan get a crack if he has another good win. His style could give Floyd problems.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Danny and Lucas rematch on the undercard. Someone else suggested Abner and Jhonny aswell. A rematch with maidana could be a herd sell, so a night of rematches could make it more interesting.

To those of you that are saying the rematch will do good numbers, I'm just curious as to why you think this. I'm not disputing it, but I just want to hear the reasons. Cause it was an entertaining and close fight. Now they can market maidana as the guy who gave floyd the closest fight in a long time. Also floyd seemed to have declined a bit making it more intriguing as it might be his time to lose.

Hehe ;) So who do you guys think will be next? Apparently opponent will be announced in 2 weeks Marcos "about sledgehammers" Maidana, it will be bigger than Froch Groves II.

Mayweather announced his fight against Canelo on May 30th so I definitely expect him to announce his September fight within two weeks.

Think of the post fight comments after Mayweather-Maidana, they where pretty much this... "If the fans wanna see it we can do it again"...Floyd. "I have to give HIM the rematch because I won"...Chino. People who follow the sport closely kind of knew a Maidana rematch was gonna happen before a Khan fight. Coz didn't we already know this anyway? Khan said Floyd's September appearance clashes with ramadan if I am not mistaken? And for the record as a side note, Mayweather vs Garcia would be a big event, but we all know how it would go. I'd rather see Khan in there than Garcia, like many of you guys.

Hopefully Chino gets some real lottery money and not lottery soda money this time around. Oh and free the Everlast MXs #PrizeFightNotASparringMatch :boxing:

It's obvious they'll rematch Maidana. They would be stupid not to do it again it'll do good numbers. Maidana received a TON of exposure and made a ton of new fans that can only mean more $$$$. Khan is nothing compared to what Maidana did for himself this past May. Promotionally speaking, Maidana II >>>> Khan

khantards are gonna kill themselves if maidana gets it again lmao Dream on wanker We all knew Khan was not fighting Floyd next, he ruled himself out, or maybe you dont follow the sport? If Maidana gets a rematch, whocares, he lost the first one, he'll lose the second one It doesnt really matter who Floyd fights next, he has limited options, Garcia, Maidana..both very easy nights for Floyd

It's got to be maidana given it's to be announced in two weeks. Put Porter vs Matthysse on the undercard and winner can fight Floyd in may.

khantards are gonna kill themselves if maidana gets it again lmao Everyone already knew it was going to be Maidana again. Why do you celebrate getting a fight as if Maidana won it? Maidana fans love dem minor victories.

Garcia is my least pick cause Herrera proved that Garcia does not belong in the ring with Mayweather. The Maidana rematch does nothing for me. Mayweather would use a different style and the match would be less exciting and more predictable. I would rather see in this order: Khan, Porter, Thurman, Mathyssee. I'd rather see him fight inn this order Leonard Hearns

Paul Malignaggi would be great for Floyd, no risk. and F|0m0s would celebrate it like an Ali-Frazier "Fight of the Century" with champagne.

didn't think he'd give up Sept date for a move to Nov. Likely they will target a Mex fighter. More PPV's.

Screw the rematch man. Maidana ain't going to do better then that and even that wasn't enough to beat floyd. No point I agree with this.
