Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: Mayweather For Khan-Alexander Winner

[QballLobo]

Oscar is just saying this because he knows that he won't be involved in Floyd's next fight and he wants Canelo/Cotto on May 5th weekend next year.
Khan should win but if Devon were to pull it off no way Floyd fights him next year unless he plans on changing the date he fights. I do think Khan would give Floyd problems but I was hoping to see Khan/Brook fight with the winner getting Floyd. At least the winner would be a champion.

There will be a lot at stake when former champion Amir Khan and Devon Alexander collide in a welterweight contest on December 13th from the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. The fight will headline a Showtime televised tripleheader.

Both Khan and Alexander are hoping to secure a shot at the WBC/WBA welterweight champion, Floyd Mayweather Jr. (47-0, 26KOs). Khan wasted most of his 2013, and part of 2014, waiting around to get Mayweather in the ring. Mayweather instead faced Marcos Maidana, twice.

I dont want to see Floyd fight Khan or Alexander.

I don't know why Oscar is saying it, as if we didn't already know that this was the case, and like he has something to do with it. from what they say both Khan and Alexander are done after this fight, and when asked khan didn't give any real commitment to coming back to GB.

Khan is one of a handful of Al Haymon-advised fighters who is still indisputably under contract to GBP

All the other Haymon guys are either (a) not under contract to GBP or (b) their contract status is in dispute but they will continue fighting while lawsuits between GBP, Schaefer, Haymon, etc, will eventually work out (after the fact) who owes what to whom in terms of monetary damages

Also Mayweather is still working with Golden Boy on a fight-by-fight basis to promote his fights.

At the end of the day, Khan brings more money to the table (by adding UK PPV into the pot) than any other potential Floyd opponent except Pacquiao, so as long as Khan is a GBP fighter and Floyd wants to maximize his revenue, Oscar isn't talking out of his a$$ ... the guy Floyd will presumably want to fight is in his stable.
