    Only way I see this fight happening is if Mayweather wants to please the UK fan and fight there, But i doubt it

    The fight will most definitely take place in England to maximize profit. It might not be Mayweather's next fight but this is most definitely in the works. Surely they will have Khan have one or two fights at welterweight before making it happen most likely in 2014 if Khan doesn't get sparked.

    Actually wouldn't mind it just to see Khan get rocked a few times.

    They've all been talking about it for years now. GBP are trying to increase their profile in the UK, Mayweather has expressed an interest in fighting in the UK, Khan thinks he has the tools to win (not without a huge improvement).

    It'll happen. Maybe Kell Brook if he gets a few high profile bouts and keeps his 0.

    Probably, especially if Mayweather was considering fitting in a few fights before he calls it quits.

    He'd batter Khan.

    Talk about a low risk/high reward fight. This is a Mayweather dream. Smaller man, huge payday, china chin.

    I paid for last weekend's fights based on the card as a whole. But I would pay money just to watch Mayweather KTFO Khan.

    It's because they know UK boxing is a very lucrative market that they'd love to tap into. Khan is the first semi-legitimate* opportunity for them to do this since Hatton.





    *legitimate as in he's in and around the division, he's a name and he operates at world level.

    yeah. Prolly the 3rd or 4th fight. They will give Khan a chance to gain a signature win off Alexander or the winner of the 140 tourney.

    Waiting for Khan to pick up some wins is a real risk with the way he looked against Diaz.

    Khan created this problem himself. He could have been a great boxer with his speed and jab and right hand, and he decides to brawl with guys and he has a weak chin. If he does not learn how not to brawl with a weak chin how is he going to win fights?

    I agree. He will eventually fight Khan PBF always said he wants to fight in the UK. As long as Khan keeps wining it will be a mega fight for the UK.

    Bank on the fight happening Khan is now #1 since Guerrero lost..... Khan announced his move up in weight just before making the fight with Diaz.

    WBC instantly ranked him at #2, Now that Guerrero has lost we are going to see Khan get a shot its pretty ****ing pathetic but its the WBC for ya..:verysad
