What is the hold up with Mayweather-Khan???

[Weebler I]

They read BoxingScene to gauge the public's opinion of the fights and they know this fight is a complete joke. They are trying to build a good undercard and they are having a hard time coming up with something.

It's pretty easy to build a good undercard, just put Broner v Maidana on it.

Yeah maybe.......it is costing 40 Million dollars for 30 seconds of air time during the Superbowl. I think it's kind of humorous that people think Mayweather can just command Superbowl air time like it's a free Sunday paper...this is THE BIGGEST sporting event in the entire world.

Football (Soccer) World Cup final.

To the other people who suggested it...Matthysse, Lara and Mundine are not well known to the US casual fan. You'd be better off suggesting Malignaggi.

I would give major props if Floyd actually decided to fight Erislandy Lara instead, boxing public wouldn't really know him but I think boxing's main stream media could hype it up well. I hope he chooses Marcos Maidana or hell, Lucas Matthysse. I'm just not interested in Amir Khan, put him on the undercard against someone credible then if he wins impressively, let him fight "Money".

Amir Khan isn't well known in the U.S. either and if they do, the main perception is he's not up to par for this challenge. Marcos Maidana makes way more sense if we're going to go with who's well known with casuals since Maidana did beat Adrien Broner. He's the credible opponent right now and a fight in the past between Maidana & Khan was a very close fight, and in a rematch, Maidana very well could knockout Khan early. And why not just have Amir Khan fight Adrien Broner instead?

Millions have watched Khan fights in the US on HBO and Showtime, but you shouldn't forget the UK money which is a factor. Actually thinking about it, Mundine would bring in Australian PPV money. Maidana would bring a Guerrero-like return imo.

That would still be better than what a Khan fight would bring. Khan brought go viewers when he was winning. His last two fights not so much. They would have to put Broner vs Maidana, Mares, and a Keith Thurman fight to equal the 870k what journalists say or the 1 million what Showtimes that Guerrero fight brought.

He switched broadcasters for his last two fights.

I do know Mayweather v Khan and Broner v Maidana on the same card would attract a lot of attention. Mayweather v Maidana on its own, not so much.

Mayweather vs. Maidana
Khan vs. Broner

That would do better.

kahn mayweather won't sell so they'll need a good undercard that could be part of it

I think Khan really has to be fighting Floyd for it to get UK viewers paying PPV.

If Khan doesn't get the fight and Maidana does, I don't expect Broner-Khan (although that fight arguably makes more sense).

[ShoulderRoll]

Khan messed things up by not going into this fight off a big win. Had he taken care of Devon Alexander like Shawn Porter just did people wouldn't be complaining as much.

[kevin-novice]

really Khan using coke? he doesn't even drink and has to train every day. also doesn't need the money if hes selling it. seems a bit weird
