Comments Thread For: Amir Khan: Mayweather Sr. Went Crazy on Me During Call

[BrometheusBob.]

Amir Khan has told Sky Sports News HQ that he has held heated discussions with Floyd Mayweather's father over the phone.

Bolton-born Khan is convinced he could be less than two weeks away from landing his long-awaited super-fight with Mayweather and says he is getting under the skin of the undefeated champion's camp.

Khan said: “I spoke to Floyd Senior the other night. He thinks Floyd can beat me easily, so I said ‘alright, if that’s the case, then let’s get a fight made'.

Khan might on the right path to talking himself out of this fight.

maidana got the fight by beating the guy in front of him in good fashion and no speaking a single word about floyd afterwards. khan is doing the opposite. he should remain quiet, especially since he didn't look as he expected vs algieri

The more Khan talks about a Mayweather fight, the more hyped I get for a Maywaether-Brook fight

I don't know why because that fight is certainly not going to happen.

Not really a suicide mission if he's gonna lose a 9-3 or 8-4 decision and make about $15 million in the process. It's not like Floyd's gonna knock him out or anything.

'Suicide mission' I'd happily trade places and get soundly outpointed over 12 rounds for that money. Hell I might even get knocked out, improve my pay-per-minute ratio. **** it, I won't even put my hands up I will run in their head first onto as many punches as possible in the first round knowing that in my 'suicide mission' I will never have to work again.

He knows I am the guy to "maybe" beat his son.

Algieri just ripped this guys' confidence away in one night.

Where is he getting $15million from? Not saying it can't be true, i'm actually asking. I would like to know because from the 700k or so that this fight would sell if it was made, Floyd and Showtime/cable companies are getting the majority of that, a big majority. Actually I don't know how Floyd is making $40mill off of this fight when 700k ppv is equal to around $40 mill+. He would have to get a large chunk of gate rev, UK ppv rev, and all other revenue. So I don't know who's going to give Khan $15million dollars. Certainly not Floyd. So fill me in.

Khan is not getting Cotto and Canelo money vs Floyd. $12-15mill is what they saw. Khan is levels below Cotto and Canelo in drawing power and as a boxer period. With not one ppv headline under his belt, no title, no recent significant win, no evidence that he is a draw in he US, Khan is making Ortiz, Maidana, Guerrero money vs Floyd.
