    I'll watch it the next morning on ATBF.

    No way am I staying up to 6am and paying to watch Khan get KTFO.

    Yes, this will be the fourth Floyd fight I pay for. Don't expect Khan to win but, the way I see it is this. He is not fighting another pressure brawler, Khan depends on speed, reach, and volume. He has fought Zab who use the speed and reach but not the volume, and Shane who uses the volume and speed, but pressured too much.

    It's just plain different enough for me too be interested to see how Floyd handles it. Don't see Khan's chin being a problem, he won't stop throwing I believe, it's the footwork differential that's the biggest problem for Khan, hopefully not enough where Floyd scuffs him round after round.

    You can't duck a cherry pick. (this seems to need to be explained over and over to Mayweather haters)

    Joy > Iqbal. Different leagues altogether. :deal

    Khan gets a lot of **** but he's easily a better fight for Floyd than Ortiz and Guerrero were.

    - x2 world champ
    - Legit top level speed
    - Exciting style
    - At least offers something stylistically different to anything we've seen Floyd in with recently.

    Floyd will catch Khan eventually and it will be game over but you can at least see him presenting him with a few problems with his quick combos, decent jab etc.

    Compare that to the Guerrero fight in particular which had predictable one sided UD written all over from the get go. Guerrero brought nothing to the contest which could even remotely trouble Floyd - I wouldn't say the same about Khan.

    **** no. (and I've bought every Mayweather PPV since The World Awaits, except for Mosley & Marquez which I saw in theaters)

    edit: ...actually, make that since Judah. 8 PPV's and 2 theater tickets. This one, not a dime.

    Thurman is a very dangerous fighter. For every reason that someone like Greb would have chosen, Floyd chooses not to.

    What "big fights" is there that aren't affected by the cold war? Maidana? Thurman? lara? Besides a canelo rematch this might be the biggest ppv they have.

    Trust me.

    When the time comes, you will order this PPV and there really isn't much you can do about it.

    You won't be able to resist. The temptation is far too much.

    Khan vs Mayweather
    Garcia vs Paulie possibly
    Deontay Wilder said he wants to be part of this too
