this fight aint happening. they will pay maidana off

Can Khan do a deal with Maidana to allow him to fight someone else and still get to keep the title? How mandatory is the mandatory?

id want the fight to happen even if it wasnt khans mandatory,the fact that it is just gives it more reason too happen.maidana is a very dangerous opponent,but i think its the right test for amir right now,id be very confident in him winning the fight aswell
