Mayweather wants Khan to face Jesse Vargas

Fighting Floyd Mayweather (41-0, 25 KOs) has been a goal for 25-year-old Amir Khan (26-1, 17 KOs) to shoot for next year.

With Khan's recent victory over Zab Judah, many found Khan's goal of landing a fight in with Mayweather in 2012 quite plausible.

Now Mayweather, once quick to say a fight with Khan could easily happen, is suggesting maybe another fight should happen first with Jesse Vargas (16-0, 9 KOs) as the opponent of choice.

Vargas is a 23-year-old fighter trained by Mayweather's uncle, Roger Mayweather, and fights under the Mayweather Promotions banner.

According to Fight Hype, Mayweather had this to say:

Jesse Vargas wants to know why Amir Khan is ducking and dodging. Yeah. He's asking for him. Everybody is ducking and dodging him. He's my fighter and he wants him.

Mayweather also responded to questions about Khan's desire to face him, saying, "He don't really want that; not selling 2500 tickets and having a bunch of giveaways. No, he don't want that."

Khan said:"I'm not a big enough draw to fight in 2012...and Victor Ortiz is right now? No disrespect to Victor Ortiz. He's a great fighter and a very good friend but he's fought on my undercard twice. I'll be ready to fight Floyd in two fights time. If he wants to fight this year I would, but Mayweather only talks down on fighters who are threats to him.

So, fight fans, what do you think of Mayweather's assessment of Vargas being a good opponent for Khan?

Also, what do you think about Khan saying Mayweather only talks down those who are a threat to him? Comment below and don't forget to vote.

So do it but take 99 percent of the purse since Vargas is a nobody. Then KO Vargas so Mayweather Promotions looks like an even bigger joke.

[johnm is...]

Of course he does. He's Mayweather's fighter. Mayweather is trying to make money off of him.

I don't understand why people are having such a difficult time understanding this.

Guess most on here don't understand business 101. He's only trying to promote his fighter, nothing more, nothing less. Floyd also talks trash about most of his opponents and non of them put up a challenge. Khan is crazy.

OH MY GOD! A promoter wants 1 of his up & coming boxers to face 1 of the best boxers in the 140lb division, OH MY GOD! WHAT HAS BOXING COME TOO!

[CasualBoxingFan]

LMAO pretty funny.

Whats even more funny is that Khan didn't want to fight other fighters because they couldn't sell tickets. Now the same is happening to him.

LOL

Yes. The upstart promotional company that has good young fighters is a joke.

Quick: name a young fighter on MP Promotions, Vargas promotions, Sycuan, Square Ring, Interbox, or ....

[Froghead99]

It amazes me a racist dip**** like Gino Ros thinks he has any credibility.

And its funny how Mayweather decides to promote his fighter against the guy people expect him to fight, against the guy who has been calling him out, against the guy he told GB he'd be interested in fighting, against the guy that just annihilated Zab Judah.

Did May mention any ESTABLISHED WWs for Vargas? No, of course not.

Only the most blinkered, dumb ***** would not see that this is Floyd setting up to duck Khan with his asinine comments.

i want to see this

khan vs vargas bring it on
