    Because of the poll, Khan has at the very least earned his spot on Mayweather's card on a number of levels. It should be Khan vs Broner or Khan vs another top Welterweight but Broner does not belong on the card if that means Khan does not get a spot. Im impressed that Khan after being rejected, not only agreed to fight on Mayweather's card but agreed to fight Broner to get a shot at Mayweather. I appreciate Khans persistence and how he handled the situation by accepting a fight on the card and accepting Broner right off the bat. He deserves some credit here.
    Word is Khan will be fighting The Ghost next at 147, as Broner has rejected the fight. Although the public obviously want to see Broner and Khan, its up to GBP to make it happen, there is a nice story building up for this. As you said Molina vs Broner has no storyline, and its not really a co-main event fight.

    It'd be a lost opportunity if this fight doesnt happen. I think the issue here is Broner has a lot to lose, 2 back to back loses would destroy his confidence, so early into his career, but sometimes you just have to take a risk imo

        I was for sure gonna buy the PPV if Khan-Broner was on it, but I can't fork up 70 bucks for Broner-Molina. That fight just doesn't excite me and to be honest Broner should win very comfortably.

          And this is a case-in-point for the marketing execs and Mayweather to consider because I feel the same way and I would expect so do many others, paying customers. Hopefully the people behind the PPV card will see this and talk some sense into team Broner. Maybe they want to build Broner back up and Khan is too risky at this time. But PPV numbers will not be quite the same and fans will not appreciate the card as much if it is Broner vs Molina....unless Khan gets his earned spot against a top name.

            I guess the one of the reasons why Broner wouldn't want to fight Khan right now (outside of the weight class thing)would be to wait and see how Maidana does against Floyd. If Marcos does good or actually hurts Floyd then it might offer some perspective on what Broner had gotten himself into in the first place. Molina is an ok fight, it will keep him honest in there. Broner has had nothing at 140 either so it's still an experiment with him. This isn't a co-main even though I agree with that

            With Khan also in play, u have to admit it just feels like he is currently on a level above AB, and I mean in career experience, he been around the block...that goes for Danny as well who brought along much slower than AB, by the time he got the call for Khan, he was ready. Of course I like Khan-Broner like everyone else but it seems like Khan could shoot bigger

              Maybe Thurman can fit somewhere in the mix for the card. He is always exciting to watch unless he has other plans.

                  Shame. I would've actually bought the card if it had Khan vs. Broner on it. There's no point watching it for Broner, an exhibition for Love, and a sparring match for Mayweather.

                    Eriously everyone knew e plan was for broner to move down to 140 if he didn't get a Maidana fight. This was not a secret. This was the plan as gated numerous times. Why are ppl acting like they don't know. Seriously stop with the ******ity,

                      Lame fight

                      Molina was losing badly to Mickey Bey until he got lucky in the last round
