    Look styles make fights and Khan has a style to cause Mayweather problems and will definitly win rounds.

    Does he deserve it ? NO he doesn't but financially risk / reward the fight is perfect for Floyd, the UK audience will buy this fight on mass, not just the Khan fans but the people who want to see him get KTFO and Mayweather has a big following over here anyway.

    This fight will generate the most money Pac Man aside from any of the available world level fighters and Mayweather goes for the money fights first and foremost. If he was bothered about legacy he would have fought Pac man

    Yes! Nice tune up for whoever is next! This fight might add longevity and take Money into bonus coverage on the current contract. Contract extensions are always preferred by athletes!!!

    Khan is not deserving of it. Should be Garcia if anyone.

    Yeah why not? Mayweather schools guys like Canelo, Guerrero, Marquez. Why not see him school and possibly KO Khan?

    Garcia's not a tuneup! That's more of a fight! A tuneup would be a nice added extra and Khan is a prime tuneup!

    Neither of them bothers Mayweather in the slightest.

    Khan and Rios are equally without chance in that match-up.

    Head to head, Rios stops Khan.

    Styles do make fights, however, and Khan probably can outbox a lot of people that would in turn outbox Rios.

    The underlying point is valid, but Mayweather as the exemplary fulcrum is a bad fit.

    Cause Khan has been KTFO, and looked like **** his past 4 fights. He also has a 'Samosa Chin' - articuno :lol:

    Someone with wins against decent opposition deserves it.

    Floyd calls himself money. Someone who brings money deserves it. Plus if you actually analyze styles and attributes you'll realize that Khan makes for a more entertaining fight than most of the guys Floyd has fought recently or most of the guys available. Floyd has fought guys coming off decent wins before and can do that after he fights Khan (if he does fight him). If people don't want to watch he Khan fight they don't have to but most will because it will be fun/entertaining.

    Never said he was.:huh. Swift is far from a tune up. He's the lineal 140lbs champ. Imagine if Mayweather were to go down to 140 and claim lineage at 140 too? or Even if Garcia moved up to 147 for it. Khan is just there to be milked from. I doubt Mayweather would need a tune up. just my opinion.

    I understand where you're coming from. He's at the stage now where he should take the toughest fights if he wants to be seen as a top 20 ATG after he retires. I'm talking as to who deserves the fight, not who makes sense money wise but I understand where you're coming from. :good

    THIS! Pac makes 18M v Rios. Almost 3x as much for basically the same quality opponent.

    48 mil to fight a Glass Jawed Khan is the easiest money that Mayweather will ever make.

    $70-100 M to fight a one dimensional midget is more easier than glass jawed Khan. Why is Floyd ducking the midget? :think
