    Floyd isn't gonna fight in the UK. That's just talk. He's fighting in Vegas.

    Khan would still lose to an old Mayweather anyway, even in the UK, barring a robbery of Coggi-Gonzalez/Escalera-Everett proportions

    Most of us in the UK can't stand Khan. If it was fought in the UK more people would probably want Mayweather to win.

    Khan's face was shown on the big screens at the Froch v Groves fight and he was quite loudly booed.

    Also, whilst PPV might be 1m buys - it only costs £17, which is under $29.

    I think Khan might have been booed because he was saying that Groves was dominating the fight?

    Not going to happen. Not sure of the tax laws in Nevada. But I'm guessing they wouldn't be as high as the 50% Floyd would have to put up over here.

    You having a laugh? Khan was roundly booed when he was seen on the big screen at Wembley.

    Read that the UK will not allow Void to enter their country, most likely because he is a woman beater...........anyone know why else?

    Uk fans hate arrogance and inflated egos. That's the reason guys like hatton were so popular, down to earth normal guys.

    Expect anything if it's in the UK. I wouldn't be surprised if they change the ring overnight to an octagon either. However, I don't see why Mayweather would need to "cash out" against Khan.

    They booed eveyone in fairness besides frank bruno , Khan said in the interview aswell that the booing started because groves appeared

    Name 1 fighter floyd has beaten that others around at the time he fought them couldn't have also beaten ? I'd say apart from canelo i could pick 5 guys per opponent that could have beaten floyds last 8 guys

    Obviously the only reason he ever fought on Sept was the mexican holiday, maximize the profits. Now Mayweather,always thinking money, sees that a fight at Wembley will do alot more business then a rematch with Maidana on a mexican holiday in Vegas. He knows this. I think he leaves Sept 13 and actually fights in the UK.

    Like i;ve said before, I'd rather see the Cotto rematch for the MW crown. Mayweather with a chance to be lineal in 3 weight classes at the same time, i think is the only way to enhance his legacy from here on out. Plus i think nobody would probably ever do that again. Cotto barely got hit in the Martinez pounding and would be ready by Septemeber to go to war with Mayweather but im not sure it will happen.

    So i think he actually leaves Vegas and fights Khan in October or early November. Khan will be ready by then. JUst my take for the day. Peace :bbb:bbb
