Comments Thread For: Schaefer Explains Why Mayweather Did Not Select Khan

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer spoke with BoxingScene.com and explained the factors which influenced WBC welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. (45-0, 26KOs) to pass over Amir Khan in favor of Marcos Maidana as the opponent of choice for May 3rd at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

Khan (28-3, 19KOs), inactive since last June after he struggled to decision Julio Diaz, was viewed for months as the frontrunner to fight Mayweather.

Schaefer = Ass Clown

...sort of
...in a big way

[seebert]

Do you think he had to take both of De La Hoya's balls out of his mouth to say all of that?

[jasjas]

if i was khan, i would be livid at whoever advised me not to fight alexander , whether that be my uncle/manager or GBP.

So in the end, Khan f.ucked himself by backing outta the Alexander fight. #KUDOS

Well

I wanted Mayweather vs Khan. It better be a great undercard.

[Kagami Taiga]

I knew from jump Floyd wasnt high on this Khan fight.

[Czarczar]

Lol

So in the end, Khan f.ucked himself by backing outta the Alexander fight. #KUDOS

Yeah that's what he gets. Now Porter is the champ, which could have been him and might of secured him a fight with Mayweather.

[uniquehump]

lmao at Khan. He'll fight Porter, Broner or Alexander on 5/3 and either lose or struggle to get a win and will never get Mayweather in the ring. I believe in one of my posts when people stated that Mayweather knew he had already selected khan, I indicated that he would not select him. I need to figure out how to look up my old posts.

[CANELOLUJAH]

Its true. Lets be honest Khan is at Rock Bottom he can only go up in hype, Maidana is on a all time high and he can only go down in hype.

So taking Maidana now makes sense, cause if Mayweather waits and Maidana takes an L thats it the Maidana hype will be over. Khan can get a statement victory in may and get the Mayweather fight in septemeber.
