[bigjavi973]

Well this is one fight I will be streaming unless the undercard is STACKED!

For those asking, @keithfthurmanjr hand injury against Colazzo prevents him from fighting Sept. 12 and @ShowtimeShawnP not in mix.

Update

Floyd Mayweather Jr. has ruled out fighting England's Amir Khan next, and it's now looking like his Sept. 12 bout will be televised on Showtime pay-per-view, not CBS.

A boxing official involved in negotiations but not authorized to discuss details publicly told The Times on Saturday that it's "90 percent" likely that Mayweather (48-0) will fight on Showtime.

Originally, CBS emerged as a player, with Mayweather interested in exploring whether advertising revenue could support a fight of his magnitude.

In May, Mayweather earned in excess of $220 million for beating Manny Pacquiao by unanimous decision in the richest fight in history.

Former welterweight world champion Andre Berto is believed to be the favorite to fight Mayweather at MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

Khan (31-3, 19 knockouts), with consecutive wins over former world champions Devon Alexander and Chris Algieri, was believed to be a stronger candidate, but Mayweather has rejected him again after doing so last year before Marcos Maidana.

Khan was removed from consideration, the official said, because he kept publicly criticizing Mayweather after being told to keep his opinions quiet.

The official said Mayweather's plans are likely to be finalized within a week.

I wasn't going to watch the fight even if they paid me.

Forget watching it for free.

And forget paying for that crap.

[BOXEO _]

It's not going to be anyone good with such short notice.

[Bigg Rigg]

I will pay 5 dollars to see this fight, nothing more. Whatever Bar offers 5 dollar cover or less for this fight will be the bar I go to.

Bro, I'm not even paying $1 to see this fight!! I spent $100+ on that May-Pac bs. Pac or Floyd ain't getting anything from me ever again.

[mathed]

come on guys, it's mayweathers LAST FIGHT!!

you know you gonna pay

LMAO.....3 fight extension = last fight?

I think Floyd/Berto would do fine on PPV because the casuals/fanboys/sheep outweigh everyone else.

Every casual that I've spoken with has made it clear that they're not interested in anymore Mayweather fights. Floyd can't be dumb enough to fight Berto on ppv. That fight does 700,000 at best.

[boxingsupreme87]

It'll do fine on PPV as long as they market it as his very last fight and if thye stack the undercard

[bluebeam]

And people complain that GGG - Lemieux may be PPV. That fight will have 1000X the action of ANY Floyd fight but I guess people just like the Sominex effect of a Mayweather fight.

All Mayweather fights have been ppv for the last 10 years with the exception of one (sharmba mitchell). So no suprise here.

GGG and Lemieux on the other hand have never been on ppv in america.

Floyd will sell half a million homes no matter who he fights.
so I get it, even though I don't agree with it.

GGG and Lemieux aren't ppv fighters therefore there is no reason for them too fight on ppv.

I would only pay ppv for

GGG /floyd
GGG/ward
GGG/Canelo
GGG/cotto

Anything else involving ggg is an hbo fight too me
