That interview is edited. The real video of mayweather he says that both are fighting on his undercard but not neccessarily fighting each other. Thats why he goes on to say that they should fight each other. But I dont want it at a catchweight because even at 143 vs Diaz he wasn't healthy or strong so it has to be 147 or nothing.
I don't think he's 'outgrowing' 140 lbs. I believe the reason he's moving up to 147 lbs is because of how easy he was getting knock downed or KO'd at 140. So his team figures, if he moves up in weight, he'll have more punch resistance. Won't be as easy to knock down.
But they'll find out the hard way that it doesn't matter.
When a fighter is getting KD often at a lower weight division, it often shows us that he is starting to get too "big" for that weight. When Khan moved up to 140lb for the first time and was fresh at the weight, he took punches from opponents such as Maidana and Judah. I really believe 147lb will do him a world of good, as long as he stays away from a certain Keith Thurman.
I hope it's true but Floyd is not a very reliable source of information. He often lies or is just wrong. I will believe it for sure when I read it on boxing scene top headlines.
I really like a fight between Khan and Broner. I think it's an even interesting matchup that could go either way. Khan's weak chin puts him at risk against the hard punching Broner. Khan throws two or three times as many punches as Broner and he doesn't get knocked out he will probably win. Since I don't like either of these giant mouthed braggers I will be happy if either one of them suffers a humiliating defeat. I guess this will be one time I hope Khan wins.

Khan has been looking very gaunt for the last 2 years, he's most def outgrown 140
the fight needs to be at 147
but i am sure Broner wud prefer 144, his trainer has indicated that he doesnt belong at 147...
