    If the rematch happens I wouldn't put it past showtime to try and milk Floyd for the last fight by even moving the date so he fights Pac they already seen how profitable it would be

    because they know after this fight hbo will get the fight

    How are they milking when it's in Mayweather's contract to have one more fight with them?. Moving dates is nothing new or extraordinary given proper circumstances to help make the move.

    No what I am saying is showtime will try to get the may pac fight because they know hbo will get once Floyd finishes up with them

    The contract was 6 fights AND/OR 3 years.

    It expires January 1, 2016 if he fights in September or not.

    He was allowed to fight as many times as he wanted over the 3 year span, up to 6 times.

    Then I wonder who Mayweather will fight in September. Pacquiao needs more time to heal and Khan has Ramadan. Cotto at 160 or a Catchweight?, Thurman?.

    I have a feeling he wont fight in September and they will maybe wait for Pac showtime wants to get their hands on the pot of gold again they wouldn't want hbo to get the fight

    If the contract expires in January 2016 and Nonito Smoak thankfully clarified, then they have three more months(October, November and December) to make the Khan fight or they will get Mayweather to sign an extension if he wants to make a fight in 2016.

    He's not going to KO him unless Khan can't handle a certain counter and is dropped. Mayweather mainly focuses on outpointing opponents and he will do so comfortably with Khan without worrying too much about having to score a KO to win.

    I doubt mayweather signs a extension he will just fight pac on hbo

    I am sure this is something showtime are aware of which makes me feel they will try to make it anther joint ppv fight too much money to be made.

    He will get the 49th fight out of the way and announce his come back next year fighting Pac to beat Marciano's record

    K remember when the public was laughing at the possibility of khan fighting Mayweather. Now, khan is another fighter assigned by the haters to dethrone mayweather. Gtfoh with all your candidates. It's becoming very boring the you all keep trying to find someone to beat mayweather.

    The last point you made is very possible. For all we know he could fight absolutely anyone in September and then rematch Pacquiao sometime next year in an attempt to break Marciano's record. I somehow feel he's going to ignore Khan and rightfully so unless Khan does something big. Fighting Khan for his 50th fight and attempt to break Marciano's record would be an embarrassment.

    Even if he did fight khan I think it would be hard for him to even break 1 mill buys.

    Khan for me is comedy gold he really is one delusional soul
