Comments Thread For: Amir Khan Say Mayweather Deal is "Very Close" Now

Thats easy. Coming off a devastating KO loss. And a year layoff! To fight a big puncher, that could end a night quick.

now log out!

U ok buddy? He didn't seem like a big puncher
Vs Abril or the loss to Alvarado... fight was a joke

Most smart boxing fans know that... It tanked PP wise

Man Floyd taking a big test wit Khan! This a fast talented fighter man, Floyd truly is a tough mofo for taking on all these strong young champions.

Khan has no chin and doesnt really deserve this fight... I rather see floyd vs martinez or garcia

You do know floyd has outdrawn pac vs common opponents

You do know that was not the case initially but Manny didn't go there just to get the fight on? Floyd was coming back from a long layoff while Manny was tearing up each division and getting very good PPV numbers.

But as you can see from this last year (2013), it also depends on who you fight. Floyd drew a lot less with Guerrero compared to Canelo.

Excluding this year, the difference is less than you think. Manny fought more regularly so he was drawing more annually while Floyd drew more as an average.

Now factor in that Floyd has been asking for more even before he fought Cotto. Back then the difference is on how you calculated things BUT what Floyd wanted was ALL PPV Money. Remember it used to be "TAKE THE TEST AND WE HAVE A FIGHT. So anyway you look at it, there seems to be no true initiative from Floyd side that makes you say that he is trying hard to get this fight on. At least Manny gave in on testing and even said "to make the fight, I would take less" even before Floyd said anything about money splits changing from 50/50

I think all thats irrelevant.. arum dont wanna make the fight

[AgainstTheRopes]

Pathetic is all I can say. I sure hope you boxing fans see how FMJ really is destroying boxing.

This fight won't get my money and if you guys are real boxing fans than you won't support it either. Friggin disappoint and just lame.

Khan out of all the possible matches? Really! What a fake champ!

Mayweather destroying boxing? His last fight did 2.2 million ppv buys and had the entire sports world buzzing about boxing. Pacquiao/Rios barely a made whimper. Mayweather is the one guy keeping boxing relevant.

Do u know originally floyd agreed to every thing pacquiao wanted but the drug test... smaller gloves small ring size... 50/50.. did u know that
