    Question..

    So who does he fight?

    Manny? Fat chance.

    Bradley, fat chance.

    Garcia, potentially, but PPV in the states wont be much higher than a Khan fight, BUT the PPV in the UK will far exceed any numbers Mayweather would generate against Garcia (never underestimate the UK market)

    Who else? Cotto rematch? Please, give over.

    Seriously, you have to respect this game is a business and the money is in fighting Amir Khan, like it or not, that's where he biggest pay cheque is.

    No way is Floyd going 160, no way is Martinez coming down to 154, nor is GGG.

    Come on, who else? Broner? haha, they're in bed together, never gonna happen.

    Who else??

    I'd love to know.

    May 3rd Mayweather vs khan. Promoted as speed vs speed. It's no brainer. It's also a GOOD fight. Amir comes to fight, often ends up on his backside for it, but he's game.

    After the Maidana fight (fight of the year, no less) you were all raving about him. A contentious loss to Peterson (another great fright) in which Peterson was subsequently found to be abusing. A fight against Garcia which Khan was winning by a MILE until he dropped those hands. Again tho a good fight. All in the states too, his profile, love or hated, is out there.

    Come on, who else to fight Floyd?

    You forget Amir isnt a bad fighter, an Olympic silver medalist at 17, two time world champ at 140, ring magazine champ at 140. He'll sell buckets of PPV in the UK (not Hatton numbers, but BIG nevertheless)

    It's a genuine fight that makes commercial and business sense.

    Use your head, not your heart.

    Gonna happen.

    Amir wasnt winning by a mile idk why people keep saying that jumping in and out with the amature style against pros is sometimes effective but for the most oart class shows over time

        Honestly right now,,,,

        manny does the most $$$$$$$ if he beats rios

        Bradley, garcia and khan would all do roughly the same,, somewhere between 1.1-1.4 mil

          a khan fight would only be surpassed by a manny fight.

          far more people in the UK would buy this opposed to any other floyd fight, khan was very popular after the 2004 olympics, the only boxer representing UK and won a silver, and is still popular, even people i know that aren't boxing fans would watch it

          his fights are always exciting, even against julio diaz, not a great fighter but still a great fight, you never know what might happen. khan and manny are the only two that have as quick or quicker hands than floyd. he'll keep coming as well maybe even make it a bit of a brawl, he has ok power. floyd either K.O's him or completely out boxes him. but still this is a better fight than garcia, alexander and probably bradley.

          i think floyd fights khan, then garcia, then bradley, maybe alexander but thats the least exciting and the least money....
