    Will be interesting to see who lands the fight between the UK and Vegas. My money would be on Vegas due to Floyd's comfort there, the time difference, etc...

    but a huge fight at Wembley in England would make for great theater.


    If Khan wins tomorrow we'll see this fight in November or December and assuming the fight is in Vegas, my guess is 1.3 million on the ppv.

    Again, credit to Floyd for taking on the best fighters...

      Yup, in a nutshell.

      Khan's best mate has been saying on his twitter page for a good while now that the Mayweather fight has already been agreed but unfortunately ******s like Bushbaby will react like little girls to this news.

      The Mayweather - Khan fight makes too much money for it not to happen. He has to get past Garcia first.

        Lying?

        After Floyd fights Khan then Pacquiao, outside of Sergio at 154 there won't be anyone during his era he didn't fight...


        Oh, Khan is also a clean fighter willing to take USADA tests without a bunch of excuses....

            After Floyd beat Hatton he said that he always wanted to fight in the UK.

            Maybe this is his chance.

              it isnt really a lie. who's better than khan if he enters 147-154??? only 3 ppl resume wise. cotto, martinez and pac.

              so for anyone keeping track, khan is technically one of the best. i dont even like the fight, but there really are slim pickings out there considering we know he wont fight martinez this year and he already fought cotto and wont ever be fighting pac in all likelyhood. khan is probably the best option by far.

                Khan isn't better than Bradley & Devon is better at 147 right now.

                  mayweather isnt fighting bradley. that much is certain. arum wont allow it in a million years. and alexander being better is very debatable. very.

                    As of right now, Mayweather has 3 PPV options, imo.

                    Pac
                    Sergio

                    and Khan.


                    Imo, another smart move by Al Haymon and Ellerbe. And if Floyd takes this fight to the UK, it could be huge and add another dimension to Floyd's legacy.

                    Still think Floyd will only fight in Vegas with American judges and a Saturday night fight time instead of him having to fight during the day in the UK when it Saturday night here in the States...

                      WTF? Khan and Pac have nothing in common. A tall orthodox boxer who likes to stick move is a great tuneup for a short southpaw slugger?

                      Ellerbe went to Khans media workout and spoke with Oscar and Richard, how is that any of Khan's doing?
                      Nobody said it was his fault, we just don't wanna see that fight.

                      Martinez, Canelo, Bradley.
