Possible Matchup: Amir Khan vs. Floyd Mayweather Jr. Prediction & Discussion Thread

[Larry the boss]

He's taken the lesser of two evils,


"Health Comes First"- Floyd Safetyweather

Here's hoping his pick backfires

Explain to me how Khan was a better choice,since he was ko'd by Garcia he came back and fought 2 c-class fighters and not only did he not look impressive he managed to get floored..how is that a better fight then fighting the WBA champion who just got the upset of the year?

This just goes to show just how much guys on boxing forums know about how the business of boxing works.

Only ONE group can advise Team Khan what to do and when, and that's GBP ... PERIOD!!!!

Neither Floyd nor TMT can offer advice or a contract to Team Khan -- THAT IS A LEGAL INSTRUMENT and it cannot be issued by anyone other than GBP who is contractually the promoter of Amir Khan.

Floyd "TMT" has a collaboration contract with GBP, in which both work together to promote Floyd's events.

I'll state again for the incredibly dense: Neither Floyd nor TMT can offer advice or a contract to Team Khan -- THAT IS A LEGAL INSTRUMENT and it cannot be issued by anyone other that GBP who is contractually the promoter of Amir Khan.

What you forget is Floyd controls GBP

He's basically a silent partner, they makesure Floyd is happy, he is their meal ticket

What Floyd says goes

Richard Schaefer is Floyds servant, like he always says "Floyd calls the shots"

Richard told Khan not to fight Devon as a fight with Floyd was secured, contract was sent out and he signed it.

Khan walked away from a million $,a title shot and a pillow fisted boxer, in thinking Floyd and Richard were true their word

The art of deception

Khan needs to go over to Top Rank, at least they wont hide their best away from him

Take this from the guy who said he sparred Andre Ward.

you gotta admit, floyd safetyweather is so bad it's funny

[lets rumble]

Floyd fighting khan is as bad as manny fighting rios !
like it or not maidana is coming off a career best win and a genuine title holder at 147
Floyd would demolish both of these guys .
lets hope pac don't re sign with bob arum and the world gets the fight we deserve

Khan was on his feet when the Garcia fight was stopped

[arizashakes]

I believe this is what happened. There's no way he would duck Alexander, you can say what you what about Khan but he isn't a ducker.

He was probably promised the Floyd fight so rejected Alexander. As much as he doesn't deserve the fight you gotta feel sorry for him. At least he's answering back now, but if he gets too lippy he might run the risk of never getting to fight Floyd.

[CANELOLUJAH]

I think this is what happened...

GB ****ed up by promising Khan the fight without Mayweather's consent. Once they talked about it with Floyd, he got pissed and let them know that they can't do that without his approval. GB prefers to lose respect from Khan in this situation so they didn't give a **** and now poor Khan is wearing the clown makeup in front of millions.

Naw what happened was Mayweather had no one to fight no one at all, so it was going to be khan but then Maidana pulled off a huge upset and they saw how the Mexicans came out for Maidana and all of a sudden Maidana seems like a legit oppenent instead of the farce of a fight with khan. Floyd will be an idiot to fight khan at this point of time.

[Public_Enemy]

So Khan ridicules Bradley for not fighting him and instead pursuing a Pacquiao fight. Now he doesn't fight Alexander so he can get a fight with Mayweather but gets snubbed and I'm supposed to be sympathetic. No way.
