Mayweather CONFIRMS Khan as Next Opponent

[torosboxing75]

I would have rather seen Khan fight Devon in December and at least earn a fight with Floyd in May but it is what it is. Can't hate on him for wanting to get paid.

I think Khan still has one fight left with his contract with Boxnation if that's the case we'll be getting some **** build up in the UK.

I think Mayweathers team and Golden boy know there's a good chance Devon beats khan and that would ruin all chances of making the Amir Khan fight in the future.

Team Khan now denying the Floyd rumors, saying he is still intending to face Alexander in December.

WHY SLATE KHAN? Who would turn down a Mayweather fight? If you really want to blame someone than blame MAYWEATHER... He chooses who he fights... he wasn't forced.

Mayweather hasn't announced anything. This is total bullsh.t!

[iceman1]

the daily mail isn't a great source to get information from
they make up BS to sell papers

believe it when its announced officially on either guys proper twitter

until than for what i know khan is still on for alexander in december

[Prime 407]

This is worse than Pac/Rios

[sicko]

Bull**** even though I do think it is a strong chance that could be his next opponent Mayweather has announced his last 2 Opponents on Twitter I am sure he will announce his next opponent on Twitter as well when it is time

Announcing a damn opponent 7 months before the fight is just ***in ****** and Khan really need to take a fight at 147 first before jumping in with Mayweather

Hey if Manny needs an opponent to make him look good, so does Mayweather



Amir will make Mayweather look like Tyson when he's doing pilates again

fcking troll lol. red sent you douche

Why do people always start insulting each other? I actually just saw this on tv, Floyd did a b.i.t.c.h move with this one as Khan has no chance in hell! Btw, the fight will be in Vegas on May 3, 2014 It was actually a Fox Sports update that came out while watching TUF.

Are we talking about the Khan whipping boy of Pacquiao?

This is all just a media/fan reaction test done by Team Mayweather. There's a scheme here that seems fairly obvious to me. 1). A month or two before making an official decision, put out an opponents name in the media and make it sound like it's a done deal. 2). Team Mayweather wages in on the interest/reactions/opinions of the media/fans, focusing in on who will help make the most money. "Devon Alexander is next", anyone?? Alexander still ISN'T next, there's no money OR interest in him.

As far as announcing it so quickly, people eventually forget the things that Team Mayweather said before officially announcing who he's fighting next, probably because they're so damn glad he's NOT fighting the one they originally said he was. A "whew" moment, if you will. And if there IS an interest/upside with money, they have nothing to lose by throwing someones name out there because they end up fighting him anyway. It's a win-win situation for TM.

Common sense says - we all know that they (GBP/TM) always make an official announcement when it's a sealed deal and the papers are drawn up and signed. OR, FMJ tweets it himself on Twitter/Twatter. Right now, they're just looking to see if Mayweather/Khan is a fight people will pay PPV $$$ to see.
