Floyd Mayweather vs. Amir Khan speculation & discussion

Khan at 147 will be a different fighter, Khan will shock many as how tough a fight he will make it for Floyd.

Tougher than any flat footed Latino fighters Floyd loves to fight, Khan has good movement with his feet, plus has faster handspeed than Floyd something Floyd always has an advantage over his opponents.

 

yes, his plan has been to fight a named yet non-threat early in the year (Ghost), then someone in the fall he can portray as a real threat (Canelo)

 

I think hes actually waiting to see what happens with Pacquiao believe it or not!!

Also fighting Khan is not what Mayweather has been doing lately. Almost all of his fights have been when the fighter comes off one of there biggest wins if not THE biggest.

Canelo beat Trout, Guerrero beat Berto, Cotto beat Margarito ( i think) Mosley beat Margarito, Khan has done nothing. Really not Mayweather's style

 

"We don't won't to screw our subscribers and devalue our PPV concept"- sort of senses.

The fight could sell decently without All Access but would end up closer to Guerrero than Canelo numbers imo.

Trout/Lara winner or Tranny would get my meaningless approval.

 

nope,or that i'm hoping for.but still possible,there is nothing for floy anymore except money,legacy wise there is absolutely nothing unless floyd move up to MW.but that will probably never happen.
floyd is on a tough spot.there is no demand or hype around right now.

 

Sadly that's not how business works and Mayweather is 110% business as proven already. Sure, the Alvarez fight was meaningful and a legitimate challenge but there's no one else that could sell that big out there other than Pacquiao or Martinez at 160.

Trout/Lara winner is most likely to sell as Guerrero did. Sure, the winner of that fight is a serious threat(and a real fight) especially when compared to Guerrero's no hoping chances but who will seriously consider that upon ordering other than hardcore fans(the minority)?. The main targets here are the casuals and if they don't recognize a fighter, regardless of threat and actual ability which both Trout and Lara clearly provide, they're not going to buy. Khan is well recognized this far in his career and controversial, thanks to his non existent punch resistance, which is now safely recognized by the majority. This is about selling tickets and there's no doubt a Khan fight will sell big and the Full Access episodes will be tuned in by all fans simply to watch Khan talk a load of garbage he will never back up as he has done his entire life.

Trust me, I know this fight is a complete joke and a farce, a bigger farce than both Guerrero and Ortiz combined but sadly it will sell and many will tune in to see Khan's legendary kangaroo jumping as soon as he's hit.

 

Oh he proved he was a different fighter alright. He moved up to 142 and asked Diaz to move down yet almost got killed in the process. His other offers at 147 saw him ask guys like Lopez to move down to 142. All his trash talking to Alexander's team fell through as well as he and his team rush away to secure a big payday against Mayweather before someone random starches him dead before your eyes. Then you and other braindead clowns can discuss his chances at 154 and 160 and how healthy he would have been there even after his death.

 

Boxing fans also like entertainment. And who would be competitive?

 

I keep hearing about his big British fan base and how the UK will buy this ppv. Khan ain't Hatton, the UK public are well awae this is a sham fight, and I doubt all that many will be staying up to 5am to buy this ppv.

It'll sell **** in the UK.

 

Agree. If it happens, about the same as Guerrero PPV numbers.

 

Between now and May Khan will face a hand picked opponent..... smash him to pieces
then the fight will be almost credible !

 

Probably. But for the good of our sport. I hope not.

 

I said 147 not 142.. 5lbs there.. Plus on fight night Khan will be close to 160lbs around 157-158

 

:blood Calm down bro...:-(

 

Nobody near Floyd's weight is much challenge, anyway, so why not?

I love to watch Khan catch a beatin'.
