Marcos Maidana and Floyd Mayweather Jr. advisors in talks
February 17, 2014
Marcos Maidana's manager told ******.com on Monday that he expects to talk today with Al Haymon, the advisor of both Maidana and Floyd Mayweather Jr., regarding a potential fight against Mayweather.
Amir Khan also is in the running for the May 3 bout. Khan said in December that he already has signed his contract to face Mayweather at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
"We are scheduled to talk to Al Haymon this afternoon, in a few hours, and then, we'll see how things are going. We'll have to talk," said Maidana's manager, Sebastian Contursi.
"I think that they have to make a decision either today or tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. They have to make the decision. It's up to them. It's always going to be complicated when it involves Floyd Mayweather."
Maidana cited the expected birth of his daughter in mid-March as a reason he would not be ready for an April rematch with Adrien Broner, but Contursi said that a mega bout with Mayweather "would be a different story."
Maidana upset Broner by a unanimous decision to win the WBA's 147-pound title in December.
Mayweather stated on his Twitter account on Feb. 3 that he would allow his fans to decide whether his next opponent will be Khan or Maidana. Khan won the voting 20,105-to-15,474, according to the Mayweather Promotions website.
