Comments Thread For: Hearn Confident: Floyd Mayweather Will Not Fight Khan

[AP♠]

If Cotto/Canelo gets made for Sept and stays firm on the date I can see Mayweather/Khan struggling big. Cotto/Canelo>>>>> all day before I buy a ****ty ass fight opponent like Khan.

A lot of posters here clearly didn't read what Hearn said:

"No, [I don't think Mayweather fights Khan]. How can you go from a fight earning over $200 million dollars to a fight earning $60 million dollars and it being potentially tougher. It just doesn't make sense."

It has nothing to do with how "deserving" Khan is and everything to do with how much of a stylistic threat he is to Floyd. He could earn more money, with far less risk, rematching Pacquiao, or even rematching Cotto. If he faces Khan, and potentially loses (or wins by a controversial decision), then he could lose out on the potentially bigger money he could make from a rematch with Pac or Cotto. If Floyd does decide to fight Khan though, then he deserves credit for taking such a risky fight.

I dont even care. I mean whos left for mayweather to fight? just figth khan and call it a day.

Khan has to be one of the biggest idiots in the sport. He missed out on his opportunity to be a two weight champion by not fighting Alexander when he had the IBF strap, then he avoids a big payday against Brook, and instead fights Algieri.

I get the feeling Khan's not the sharpest knife in the drawer.

Brook was demanding a fight in June, knowing full well Khan doesn't fight near Ramadan. Khan had every right to turn him down.

As for Algieri, he's just a stay-busy fight. Khan couldn't arrange any bigger fights because of scheduling issues (and unreasonable demands from Brook and Broner), so he settled with Algieri.

Well Hearn obviously didn't listen to Floyds interview suggesting that he knows his next fight will only make him 30-40m and he's ok with that.

Floyd has already been realistic about his next fights revenue and has estimated he's going to make 30-33m

The point Hearn was making is that Floyd wouldn't want a potentially tougher opponent for less money.

Personally, I don't think Floyd feels Khan is tougher and that he probably will take the fight but it wouldn't surprise me that much to see him fight someone easier like Berto or Garcia either.

You do realize both Cotto and his advisor said they will not fight on Sept 12th if Floyd fights on that date.

Khan is still a front runner to be #49 no matter what anyone says.

Possible #49s;

Danny Garcia
Amir Khan
Miguel Cotto 2
Canelo 2
JMM 2

Floyd owns the months of May and September and will fight JMM in mid September to once again force Canelo to move. Besides, Cotto will play "A" side and he will not fight Canelo on September. Therfore, Floyd fights JMM or Danny Garcia in September.
