Khan complains about being disrespected by Mayweather

By Boxing News - 02/21/2014 - Comments

By Scott Gilfoid: Amir Khan made a series of bellyaching tweets today about how he feels disrespected by Floyd Mayweather Jr. because he hasn’t heard a peep from the talented fighter ever since he made an announcement about the poll on his website for fans to pick his next opponent. Khan thinks he’s not going to get the fight with Floyd, and he’s pretty bugged to no end. Instead of keeping a stiff upper lip and realizing that Mayweather only fights the best and the brightest, Khan is all bent out of shape and he doesn’t mind letting people know about it.

Honestly, all this blabbering from Khan is probably turning Mayweather’s stomach to where he’ll never fight the guy. I mean, Khan needs to let Mayweather do things on his own time and not push him to reveal who his next opponent will be. With the way Khan is complaining and acting wounded, it’s going to be a real turnoff for Mayweather. Khan needs to keep it together mentally because all this crying is a blow it move.

Here’s some more from Khan: “No response from Mayweather or his team. Fights not happening. I should of taken the title fight last December against Alexander. Very disrespected by his team. Wasted my time. Good luck to Maidana against Mayweather. Can I apologies to the thousands of people who are let down. You me and everyone wanted the Mayweather fight. He’s running scared.”

I swear, this reads like a diary from Khan.

What the heck is he doing announcing Mayweather’s next fight? He’s so controlling. Why can’t Khan let Mayweather do his own announcing? Maybe that’s what put Mayweather off about fighting Khan.

Khan is acting like it’s the end of the world or something. I mean, so what if he’s not getting the Mayweather fight. At least he had a chance to get the fight. If the fans hadn’t complained in mass at the thought of Khan fighting Mayweather, then I suppose Khan would be fighting him next. If Khan wants to blame someone for Mayweather choosing another opponent, then he needs to blame the fans who overwhelmingly were against Khan getting the fight in the three independent polls at Fightnews, ESPN and RingTV. Khan should blame the fans in the boxing forums like at boxingforum24. I’m sure Mayweather took in what fans felt about the fight, and that might be the reason why he changed his mind.

At any rate, we still don’t know who Mayweather will be fighting on May 3rd. Honestly, Khan might be shooting himself in the foot for no reason. That would be funny if Mayweather had decided to fight Khan all along, but then changed his mind when he saw how Khan was complaining and trash talking 24/7.
