The reason people say he doesn't deserve the fight is because they think he is after the money that comes from the fight like everybody else is.
I personally believe Khan isn't too concerned with the money a Floyd fight brings, he even said himself it isn't as much as people think for the so called 'lottery ticket fight'. I believe he actually believes in his heart that he can win the fight and that the money is something that just comes with it.
Unlike most fighters who face Floyd, I'm certain Khan has financially secured his future with ventures outside of boxing. He always has sponsors whether he's winning or losing.
The money a Floyd fight brings for Khan won't make or break him like it does so many of his other competitors.
The correct thing to say for those who don't think Khan deserves a Floyd fight would be:-
A) 'He doesn't deserve the fight because I don't think he's likely to win'
B) 'He doesn't deserve the fight because he hasn't proven anything at welterweight'
NOT BECAUSE 'He doesn't deserve the fight because he doesn't deserve the money'
Khan is in no shortage of money, he's a multi millionaire who has invested wisely and can live without the money a Floyd or Pac fight brings although a Pac fight will probably bring a lot more.
Now someone like Danny Garcia DOES deserve the fight because of his resume and since he's the king of the 140lb division however we all know he'd get UD's EASILY. He doesn't bring anything to the table on fight night that anyone else hasn't already brought.
Khan presents a better stylistic match up for Floyd outside of Manny from 140lb - 147lb.
Peace.
