Comments Thread For: Mayweather on The Khan Rumors, Picking Next Foe

[dc3383]

Floyd is fighting Manny next year as long as both win in April and May

Khan by no means deserves to fight FMJ regardless of who makes the decisions. I would like to know how losing fights gives you bargaining power to fight the best in the business? Also I hear a lot about how his speed will give Floyd fits. Really? So I guess that means that the theory of timing beating speed is now irrelevant? Khan can come in slinging all those jabs but be assured that the best in the business will counter that onslaught almost immediately. I don't even think the numbers, if the fight gets signed, will come close to what hatton brought, because let's not forget, hatton was undefeated before he fought fmj - not getting KO'd by other guys not on Floyd's level. It just makes no sense...

the only reason why khon is being considered is because he will bring in a lot of european ppv. there are a lot more qualified opponents out there but they dont bring home the bacon. this khon fight is getting desperate.

Khan vs Mayweather? Oh please... People think Khan has a hope of beating Mayweather or that this fight could be competitive? It would be a con.

Here is the video


So now he is basically saying its up to his team? so he is like Pacman now just fighting whoever his promoter tells him? What happened to being your own boss.

Well if Floyd said he calls champions guys who get knocked out and can get back up and fight again than why not fight Manny Pacquiao?

He really depresses me..

Why is he doing this.. I don't believe he will do this. I swear I brought both of his PPVs this year.. If he do this I can't and I won't support him anymore.

Who else is left for Floyd that will make him do at least 1.2 million buys?

Khan? doubt it, when Floyd and pac both fought Hatton he brought over lots of british fans to the arena but the us buy were under 1 million.

Only other options are to move up to fight GGG or Sergio Martinez which is crazy I think Floyd should just fight at a 147 or 154.

The best and easiest option is Pacquiao, Floyd can beat him so easy right now and people are still willing to pay for the fight. Floyd should jump on it and have 3 fights with pac to end his contract and call it a day, he can retire beating a washed up pacman and claim he gave pac 3 chances to beat him and just to show the people to really show them that he was better than pac he whooped him 3 times. to leave no question who is the best.

Floyd fans don't want the Manny fight because they think he gets no credit for beating Manny. They say why deal with the headache of negotiations when he won't even get credit for the win. But a fight against Khan, that's cool lol

quwak, quwak, quwag, says the duck!

that's all i got from floyd the fraud.

[Evol]

fair point. they could've had and likely had khan and some other name already in the mix.

that would still mean team manny's bluster during the lead up to the fight was nothing more than BS, which everybody accepts as true except fringe manny fans like yourself and Ronnie N.

Bob the announcing manny would fight tim/jmm/provod shows the talk was BS.

Anyway you cut it Team Manny had no intention of fighting floyd as they said in the lead up to the rios fight.

i would respect your opinion more if u just keep it real like ur doing now. i dont usually hate having a debate with u but when u chooses to only see it ur way thats when i cant have a normal conversation about boxing with u. yes, what team pac is saying could all be just for promotional purposes saying that they want floyd when they really have someone else in mind. but floyd is doing the same thing by announcing may 2014 as his return date and thats what i've been saying from the get go. u see i dont have any problems calling team pac out but dont sit there and act like floyd wants the fight and team pac doesnt. both teams are playing around with no real intention of fighting eachother.

Before...
"I'm my own boss"
"I move when I wanna move"
"I fight whenever I wanna fight"
....

Now... Floyd's saying he lets his team pick his next opponent? This guy changes his tune all the time. Not even the Floyd fanboys can wiggle their way out of this one!

"50/50 but take the USADA test"... "No 50/50, $40mil FLAT"... "health and self preservation".... "my team picks my opponents" LOL
