Comments Thread For: Schaefer: Maidana Removed From The Floyd Race

[check hook]

Hopefully Showtime will wake up after PPV revenues for Floyd vs Khan fails.

It will do over 900k in the US and something similar in the UK. It won't bomb because NSB thinks Maidana is the better option.

They are announcing everyone's next fight so then when they announce Floyd-khan they can say khan was the only available guy, everyone else was already tied up in other fights

I am praying that Maidana refuses the Broner rematch.

I'm actually hoping Maidana takes the rematch and loses. Then Mayweather won't have an opponent set for September. I'm not interested in Maidana fighting Mayweather at all and that would open the opportunity for Garcia/Thurman in September or working with TR to get Pacquiao/Bradley.

All of this without the consent of Maidana lol. Gotta love Golden Buffoons.

he signed the contract with the rematch clause. His consent was given. All he has to do now is beat Broner again and he has a good shot at securing Mayweather in September unless Garcia is willing by then.

A lot of people don't know this but Khan beat Judah worse than Matthysse or Garcia came close to and Kotelnik in a way that would make Alexander confused (didn't Alexander dominate Maidana?) and beat this other guy, I think his name was Maidana...Do people not know Khan? Because it seems like they forgot he did things as soon as he was even announced as a possible Mayweather opponent. Ain't that convenient! Are you a possible Mayweather opponent? Here try this pill with 500 mg's of Instabum!

OF COURSE, That's How Floyd Works; He Could Have Pulled The Trigger & Named Maidana

He waited, and waited, and waited, hoping Boner would take a rematch with Maidana so Floyd wouldnt' have to answer those questions why he took a lay down fight, as opposed to Maidana, who just beatdown Floyd's butt buddy. Now enter Khan-job, sell him as a great, fast, electric fighter that presents problems, like this is 2008. This is for nothing more than an easy payday off a huge UK fan base. Pacquiao has waited 5+ years. Provodnikov is available, and he beat down Bradley, beat down Alvarado; why wouldn't you fight Provo then??? Could have chosen Bradley. Could have chosen Shawn Porter who just beat up Alexander. Could have even called out Danny Garcia. Floyd doesn't have any hesitation signing contracts with lesser fighters than Pacquiao... he just has trouble signing to fight Manny even after Pac agreed to all Floyd's terms. Then it was his losses to JMM & Bradley. Then it was Bob Arum.... Floyd is a real deadbeat making it all about money. Never about fighting the best fighters out there. Khan of 2014 can't beat ANYONE in the Top 10 at '40 OR '47.... Period. Mayweather Klan & Schaefer are a bunch of frauds.

That khan would have been a more viable threat, but khan was ruined in that Garcia IMO. Khan can join guys like berto, Dawson, Taylor, in the damaged goods section

Nah bro, Floyd wanted Maidana. He told Broner to avoid the rematch, and he was dis*****g Khan's "signed contract" claims. However, Showtime have a business to conduct, I'd say they wanted Khan.

[Hougigo]

Most British boxing fans (myself included) will be pleased. One question tho, will Floyd be allowed into the UK to promote the fight after his stint in jail?

That's only for sentences stemming 3+ years right?
I don't know.... I think that's what I got out of the Tyson fiasco

That's funny, and I don't blame you for thinking that way. But you forgot about the wildcard -- Miguel Cotto. If Cotto fights and beats Sergio Martinez for the MW title, he'll be another guy in the mix instead of Garcia, Thurman, Pacquaio, or Bradley.
