    They're both easy fights.

    The opponents themselves are respectable in the sense of being world-class fighters, they're just not particularly challenging or intriguing for Floyd.

    Enjoy the practically free money you get on betting on Floyd. Even at -1200, you're getting an 8.5% return on your investment for one nights work at a ridiculously low risk. It's less a gamble than an investment that gets you loan-shark like returns, legally. Bet now, tie your money up for 2 1/2 months, and it's still a respectable one year annualized return.

    walk with me, you should look at the people who are saying he's scared of Khan, they are the same stinking muppets that were pressing the poll buttons 24/7.

    Maidana is a horrible fight for Floyd, regardless.. but the fact that Khan was even an option is hysterical, given the fact that Floyd constantly dismiss Pacquiao for "losing" to Bradley, and getting knocked out by Marquez.

    Amir Khan was on ***** street doing the boogie dance against Julio Diaz in his last outing. :patsch

    So let's say Pacquiao beats Bradley and another fighter late in the year. Is he still a worthwhile opponent in 2015?

    -1200 is too high to bet on the fight. There are so many predicitable fights that are going to be out there for a lot less than -1200.

    You didn't answer the question. It's a simple yes or no.

    Maidana has a better chance than Khan. That's not saying much, but I laugh when people talk about how Khan is this tough style matchup for Floyd. The fight would consist of Mayweather taking 1 or 2 rounds to figure out Khan and then beating the crap out of him from there on.

    Khan is probably one of the least technically skilled world class fighters that people call a "good boxer", and it's mainly just because he has some speed. Some speed and range. Not accurate, not intelligent, not good in the areas of defense, balance, footwork, adaptability, chin. Decent pop, nothing more. His balance and composure is so poor that he often practically falls into his opponent after throwing a right hand. He throws arm flurries without leverage and the punches don't create and exploit openings, and people go "oh, look at his combo punching!" LOL

    The proverbial "puncher's chance" that Maidana has, well that's really low. But it's better than Khan's chances.

    I'm sure there are higher returning fights that aren't too tough to predict, but risk plays into it as well. I only give Maidana a 3% chance of winning + a 2% "market" risk that something goofy might happen to prevent a Mayweather win.

    at -1200, the return still comfortably beats the risk. Maidana would have to be a 20-1 underdog before I'd consider throwing down $10 on a "what the hell" kind of longshot flier.
