Comments Thread For: Mayweather-Maidana Undercard: Miura Eyes Mares

[QballLobo]

1. Khan might not like it, but does he have any better fight options? His last fight was vs Julio Diaz for pete's sake. Khan needs to pick someone worth a **** and while May 3rd on Mayweather's undercard might not be the only opportunity for Khan .. it would be a pretty massive one

2. Too bad for Broner, but he's probably better off going to 140 and setting up shop as a junior Welter. **who knows, a second loss to Maidana would have been a tough career setback to bounce back from. Floyd fighting Maidana is probably doing Broner a favor in the long run

Khan can headline his own card and most likely make just as much $$$ as he would on a Floyd undercard. Its not like these guys are making millions to be on a Floyd PPV. Its mainly TMT guys getting exposure and Golden Boy showcasing some of their stable. Khan has options. Same goes for Broner.

Mares actually jumping two divisions to fight Miura?
Mares is significantly smaller...

Only jumping one

"True boxing fans" wouldn't care about the undercard or main event being big they would still support it, why? Because their true boxing fans. If ur gonna buy the fight then just admit it, there's no shame in it, it's ur money u can do whatever u want with it just don't front and act like ur gonna buy the fight now just for the undercards lmao!!

Are you implying I said I wouldn't buy it? I'm going to watch it, I'll be in a military town which has a huge fight fan base. Normally up in Ohio we get 15 or so together for it, but down there it's an even bigger event. I said people complain about the main event....but the undercard will be fantastic, so if you like boxing you're going to watch it...otherwise you're being petty.

Actually Mares just jumped one already -- only to be KOd...

Khan already has headlined cards ... but I'm talking opposition wise, Khan can headline vs the likes of Julio Diaz or some nobody

and I dunno about making just as much money? Do you have the proof to back that up. If $ isn't the issue, then why did Khan turn down Alexander?

wasn't it because Khan thought he'd be getting the Mayweather fight (which would mean more $$)

I'm not saying Khan and Broner HAVE to fight on Mayweather's undercard

but it all goes back to exposure, and especially if Khan wants an eventual fight with Mayweather .. what do you think is a better choice?

1. Khan fighting Broner/Guerrero/Collazo on May 3rd at MGM Grand

2. Khan headlining in the UK vs Kell Brook ... or worst case, if Khan avoids Brook he takes on someone lame, i.e. another blown up

I mean take your pick, but wouldn't option #1 get Khan closer to fighting Mayweather? Of course Khan has to win the fight first
