Comments Thread For: R. Mayweather: Khan is a Bigger Fight Than Maidana

[Beercules]

Both are easy fights for Floyd. Maidana deserves it more though

[GRUSTLER]

Khan fight is trash. Mayweather will manhandle Khan.

It's hardly a bigger event.

Why is it a bigger event? I don't understand?

Because Amir Khan is a way bigger and more well-known name than Marcos Maidana?

Didn't you see Amir Khan on celebrity juice that one time?! Well neither did I but the daily mail online did a story about it so you know he must be pretty hawt ****! In all seriousness amir khan has something vaguely close to global fame, by boxing standards at least, while Maidana is only known by the relatively hardcore fans. Marcos v floyd may be the better fight but there's no denying khan-money may is the bigger one, in financial terms at least.

I think roger means world wide its a bigger event .khan has a huge fane base in Dubai ,India,Pakistan ,and the U.K. People who aren't even fight fans even recognize him and his twitter and social media are the biggest in boxing besides Floyds. its horrible that this is what gets you a title shot now a days .what has boxing come to ?

Keep telling yourself this Roger... whatever makes you sleep at night

Truth is, he'd manhandle both in the same night if he had to. Maidana IS more deserving but he'd get beat down too.

TMT, Haymon, Golden Boy, flat out joke, long time fans are tired of the dodge duck, shuck and jive. I hope paqiou fights on the same night, I'll gladly migrate back to HBO instead of supporting this circus and its headline clown, I thought we were in for better fights after Floyd stepped up and fought Canelo. Amir Khan? U going from Canelo to Khan? That's str8 clown BS!

Paq and Cotto have real fights coming this year. I just regained respect for HBO and Top Rank; and I hated both! Bob Arum stuck by Cotto and the Puerto Rican fan base and Paqiou dusting himself off and keeping it classy while Floyd publicly ridicules a boxer that he has no intention of fighting; that's flat out pointless, it does nothing for boxing or its fans. The lack of professionalism from Haymon and Golden Boy is hurting the sport, boxers from both camps and the fans.

Get the word out to family friends, social networks and all other media outlets,
Do not support this fight!

Roger speaks the truth when talking about PPV sales. Either way, the two fighters we want him to face are with Top Rank so all these stories are pretty much useless.

Very honest answer from Roger, but that don't make it right! Lara beats Angulo, and Canelo chooses Angulo. Alvarado beats Rios and Manny chooses Rios. Manny even went after Marquez before Bradley or Ruslan, and they're both are coming off wins. Khan has fought no one @ 147, Danny Garcia KO'd Khan, and beat Matthyesse and now Floyd wants to choose Khan. It's not how it's supposed to be!
