    I don't see that happening.
    For the biggest payday/fight of Khans career I'm sure he would make this exception.

      I doubt it. It's his biggest payday, but also his biggest fight. Is he really gonna go into the biggest fight of his career with a training camp 2-3 weeks shorter then normal???

      No way. If it happens, I'll vomit at the fight happening, and then eat my words.

        $$$ for a Floyd fight talk pretty loud. Let's see him say no when it's offered.

          I don't see him taking a short training camp into the biggest fight of his life. Let's hope this doesn't happen.
          Who else is there to fight? Porter and Thurman aren't big enough names yet. Lara is fighting Canelo. Garcia is coming off of a ****ty performance.

            I could actually see Shawn Porter happening if he beats up Paulie. Floyd would just say "Hey I'm fighting him and unifying titles again". But I agree it woldn't sell all that well.

            I'm holding out hope that Floyd-Maidana has lukewarm PPV buys like Floyd-Guerrero, and perhaps with Marquez refusing to fight Pac a 5th time and Pac seemingly out of options that can make good money anymore, that everyone pulls their head out and makes Floyd-Pac.

            I highly doubt it happens. But I don't see the timeline lining up correctly for Khan to fight him in September. I don't see him not taking the full amount of training time for a Mayweather fight. I mean training only 6 weeks for the biggest fight you'll ever have, when you usually train 8-10 weeks. I could be wrong though.

              It's not possible to duck a fringe contender bro, sorry.

                If Floyd gets the WBO belt, HBO/Top Rank will have zero welterweight titles in their stable and it would prevent Pac, Bradley and Marquez from fighting for world titles. That combined with TR/GBP, HBO/Show, Arum/Floyd, Arum/MGM, I don't see it happening on 3 months notice. If you think about it they probably have to start planning the September opponent by Memorial Day for promo and tix.

                Pac/Floyd won't go down until September 2015 at the earliest. I think Khan is the only fight that makes sense for September. If Porter beats Paulie that would give him two W's over top 10 welterweights but I don't think it makes financial sense at this stage.

                He's got the 154 belt too but outside of Lara and Canelo there aren't any good fights at that weight.

                  If Khan was all dollars and cents he would have taken the $5 million or whatever Hearn was offering vs Brook. Instead he took a high risk and lesser reward fight in Collazo.

                    It probably won't happen. Khan is gonna KO by Collazo.

                      Pretty sure GBP and his new advisor Al Haymon had some role in that. Fight Collazo, another Haymon client, and then you get Floyd.
