From The Worldwide Sport Of Boxing

According to our sources, we have been informed that at first, Amir Khan was offered the fight against Floyd Mayweather. Khan was unable to take the September date due to religious beliefs (he is observing Ramadan) and Mayweather vs. Khan is highly likely for May 2015. Then. the second option was a rematch with Marcos Maidana. However, following the Pay-Per-View numbers for Mayweather vs. Maidana - which were the highest PPV numbers so far this year (but now look set to be beaten by Froch vs. Groves 2), yet still regarded as slightly disappointing for a Mayweather PPV bout - Showtime began to push for Mayweather vs. Garcia rather than Mayweather vs. Maidana 2. An offer was made to Garcia and a deal is now almost done. According to our sources, the co-feature on September 13th looks set to be Marcos Maidana vs. Keith Thurman.




The deal is almost done, what are your thoughts on this fight??

Also its been rumored that El Chino vs One Time will be on the Undercard. What are your thoughts? Would you buy the PPV with this Card? Not a bad one to me. Tell me what you guys think

I called it!!!

I said that if Mayweather/Maidana doesn't do as well as expected and if a rematch isn't struck then a Garcia rematch is all that makes sense.

Garcia is a terrific fighter with good skills but he isn't ready for Mayweather, not right now. I really wish they'd given him 18 more months, 2-3 fights at 147, right now it's easy work for Mayweather as Garcia isn't really the offensive type.

Garcia looked like crap agains Herrera. Not interesting enoug, it would be like watching Herrera Garcia II.
Would rather see Maidana rematch.

if they thought Maidana vs Mayweather didnt do decent numbers just wait till they get the Garcia vs Mayweather numbers back lol that will be the worse numbers Mayweather ever done.


Doubt that Thurman vs Maidana is gonna get done, cause Robert Garcia they dont keep a thing a secret over their so if their was talks they would have already spoke on it.

He dont care as long as he gets to duck another ass whooping.

This would be ideal

Yea cause a Garcia (who got schooled by a tune up) fight is so much better than a Maidana rematch. Smh

If that's true daaaaamnn Maidana vs Thurman someones getting murdered!

[hhs661]

Thurman vs Maidana? Thurman about to be a household name....(wishful thinking)

Thurman vs Maidana? Thurman about to be a household name....(wishful thinking)

If Thurman Knocks out Maidana, It skyrockets his popularity.

[IMDAZED]

If this were true that would mean Garcia is not on GBP and won't be going back.

I doubt Maidana will be fighting this September unless it's against Mayweather because he's made it really clear in recent interviews that Mayweather is the only one he's interested in at the moment and he actually kinda sounds like he's thinking of retiring soon. But who knows, anything can happen when money talks.

Let's all see Maidana duck Thurman a second time

Let's all see Maidana duck Thurman a second time

He Ducked him so he could face Jesus Soto Karrass, and he also ducked him in favor of Josesito Lopez. So it would be a third time if he doesn't fight thurman.
