Comments Thread For: Amir Khan Inks His Contract For Mayweather Fight

[Slip Stream]

The fact that Khan would make this announcement and highlight the fact that Mayweather hasn't signed yet shows he concerned about getting this fight. If I were Khan, I'd be worried too because I've been reading nothing but near universal revulsion at the thought of a match like this, and I'm assuming he can read too. Khan hasn't earned this match and as each day goes by more and more momentum is swinging to Maidana. Personally, I think Maidana has zero chance of beating Floyd but he's coming off the most impressive win of his career and he's got a better chin.

Khan reminds me of someone that thinks taking shortcuts is equivalent to hard work and dedication.

British fighter Amir Khan has announced he has signed a contract that could see him fight WBC welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. in the new year.

The 27-year-old, a former world champion and 2004 Olympic silver medallist, is waiting to learn whether Mayweather wants the fight.

Damn Khan have some self respect so desperate. It sounds like Khan doeant have a back up plan just wants to cash out with May weather. Lampley said talks about this fight coming to fruition is bombing on twitter.

Floyd shouldnt talk so much now people are saying he is fighting Prescott's left overs.

The headline should read:

Amir Khan Inks Track Meet Contract For Mayweather Snooze Fest.

For the record win, lose, get KTFO or draw I've never seen Khan in a snooze fest. Not to hype about this fight but I think It will be more entertaining than May-Canelo

I really hope Mayweather doesn't sign the contract.

If Floyd was going to sign then he would have already. Amir Khan is gonna be trying to sue gbp and Floyd since he pulled out of his fight unecessarily to make this fight. Big dummy

[Larry the boss]

How is there a contract and you don't even know if Floyd wants the fight?

[tank17211]

Does this mean he printed his own Microsoft Word .doc contract and signed it at home?

Of course contracts were drawn up. Floyd and his team are having a hard time selling this match up.

I can see Floyd on the floor via bodyshot early in the fight, gets up and then is TKO'd after ref has seen enough damage

2014 will be a year of upsets

Every dog has its day

LMAO..u told a funny!!!

team mayweather cant backtrack on their cherrypicking now.

this is a streak or record of some sort: 8th consecutive cherrypicks by floyd.

and a good number of duckage as well.

I gotta say, this makes 3 of the last 4 opponents for Floyd who didn't deserve to get the fight. Ortiz,Guerrero were both a joke and now Khan who hasn't beaten a single ranked opponent at 147 and struggled with Diaz in his last fight..If this was on regular Showtime then fine , but for $70, No Freaking Way!!!!

Im not at all happy with this fight unless its free, but you mention 2 other opponents. Ortiz was coming off of 5 wins and 1 draw before fighting Mayweather. The draw was against Lamont Peterson a fight in which many felt he won. His last fight was voted fight of the year, an impressive win against Berto who was undefeated and virtually walking through every one who was put in front of him, also Ortiz had one of the highest KO percentages of any active fighters at the time. Floyd fought Guerrero after doing 90 days in jail, where a DR requested an early release because the food and Mayweathers inability to properly exercise caused him to lose a large amount of muscle mass. Guerrero had only 1 loss and is a solid fighter, not many welter weights can beat him right now. To say that these fighters did not deserve the fight forces me to ask how do you calculate how deserving a fighter is? both Ortiz and Guerrero achieved way more then Canelo, as well as fought better opponents, why do you not include Canelo as a un-undeserved opponents. And who exactly should a fighter fight after coming out of jail?

Khan looks very desperate here. He has no faith in his chin that's why he's on the sidelines just waiting to cash his own ass out on this fight. Should've just fought Alexander then maybe they could've sold this fight. But there's nothing to sell. It even makes mayweather look bad. Its a no win. If mayweather sparks khan out in one round all people are going to remember is that he cherry picked khan who is basically a disabled fighter at this point.
