Floyd Mayweather vs. Amir Khan speculation & discussion

:conf

I'm sure Khan would look absolutely sensational against Broner.

The best fighter Maidana has fought at 147 is the average Devon Alexander who he lost every round to.

Poor argument. It's like saying Chris van Heerden is more deserving than Danny Garcia and Lucas Matthysse because van Heerden has beaten C-Level fighters like Matthew Hatton and Kaizer Mabuza at 147 and Garcia & Matthysse don't fight there.

 

No Broner wouldn't beat Maidana in a rematch.

Not because Madana is good, because Broner is poor. I'd give Victor Ortiz, Joesito Lopez and Jesus Soto-Karas more chance in a rematch with Miadana than Broner.

 

Whats taking so long, Showtime must be pissed because they wont make any money with Mayweathers high purse guarantee.

 

the longer it drags out, yeah, the less money they make. but, floyd doesnt care. hes got his guarantee no matter what

 

Void has not announced the name of his next opponent...........

 

Agreed he's just milking the sport with these tune up quality fights !

 

:deal

he's just taking his time deciding on 2 leftovers :rofl:rofl:rofl

 

Be patient. He's talking with barrera and morales

EXCLUSIVE: Promoter Bob Arum says Amir Khan is being "humiliated" by Floyd Mayweather and believes the American will fight Marcos Maidana

Amir Khan has been ritually humiliated by Floyd Mayweather and made a laughing stock, claims veteran promoter Bob Arum, who has even labelled Mayweather's actions "a disgrace".

Arum, who promoted Muhammad Ali and has overseen the rise of Manny Pacquiao, believes Khan will not get the fight with Mayweather he has been holding out for since November last year. Mayweather has stated that he will fight on May 3, but is refusing to announce his opponent yet.

Khan signed a contract to fight Mayweather this year, made that fact public last year and, in the last two weeks, the undefeated American has set up a poll on his Twitter account asking fans to vote on whether he should fight Khan, or Argentinian Marcos Maidana.

"What he has done to Amir Khan is absolutely disgraceful, whether he ends up fighting him, or he doesn't," Arum told Telegraph Sport in an exclusive interview from Macau, China, where his boxer, Zou Shiming, the former double Olympic gold medallist, fights this weekend.

"My feeling is he is not going to fight him, but it's disgraceful to do that to another human being because you are in a position to do that. Just because he has the power where you can do something like that.

"If a promoter did it, if a Bob Arum or a Frank ****** did it the press would be all over them. They have allowed Myweather to get away with this s***. It's terrible.

"They have twisted the kid in the wind. Mayweather should be ashamed of himself. He's not going to sign the contract. I think he will fight Maidana."

Arum's advice? Forget about the payday with undefeated Mayweather - boxing's No 1 pound-for-pound fighter.

"Cut your ties with these people, be a man," he said. "You were the great hope of England at one point. I have Olympic gold medal winners with me. The pride with which Vasyl Lomachenko and Zou Shiming carry themselves is astonishing."

Lomachenko, the double Olympic gold medallist, and one of the most decorated amateur fighters in history, is in action next weekend in San Antonio, Texas, fighting Orlando Salido for the WBO featherweight world title - only his second professional fight.

"These people will never be humiliated like that," Arum added. "Amir Khan has put himself in a position where he can be humiliated. He's like a laughing stock. Terrible. Absolutely terrible.

"He's not fighting back and telling these guys to get lost. Get another promoter, maybe go back to Frank ******, get another opponent and tell them to p*** off."

We'll it is for bob to say, walk away from 4 million dollars, khan. What a ****ing clown

 

Arum knows what's up. Khan could give Mayweather more trouble than the brawler Maidana. Fans wanted Maidana though. On many polls Maidana won not Khan.

 

Maidana will take a systematic beating for 12 straight rounds against Floyd. He's been over hyped since putting Broner on the canvas.

 

Why has Scheaffer been so quiet in all of this? Khan needs to take this up with his promoter, especially since they dont even have a contract to promote Floyd.

 

Haha. I gotta admit mayweather has khan and maidana right where he wants them.
