By Poerqe: Through the ages there have been a lot of boxers who have influenced boxers and boxing as a whole. But none have made such on impact as Floyd ‘money’ Mayweather (49-0, 26 KOs). It was always about the money, but never so much as during and post Mayweather. Mayweather has numerous times openly admitted that instead of trying to match himself against the very best and testing himself. He looks at what makes financially the most sense. This mantra seems to have been adopted by the other boxers who also look to maximize their purses and minimize the risk they take. And can we really blame them?
If we look at the September 10th Gennady Gennadyevich Golovkin (34-0, 31 KOs) vs. Kell Brook (36-0, 25 KOs) fight, you have to wonder How this fight is even allowed to take place? Well, there is only one reason. It makes sense financially and the risk for both fighters is pretty low. The money is obviously good, for GGG the fact he’ll lose is pretty none existing. Kell will lose but it probably won’t have effect on his career. People except him to lose (except for some delusional Brook fans). He’ll get exposure in the US and around the rest of the world. God knows he needs some.
By Poerqe: IBF welterweight champion Kell Brook (33-0, 22 KOs) and Amir Khan (29-3,19 KOs) seem to be close on finalizing a fight between the two for may next year. Brook’s promoter Eddie Hearn has been negotiating with Khan’s management over a May fight, in probably Wembley stadium. Hearn, writing in his Dailymail.co.uk column, said: “Talks are ongoing over a fight between Kell Brook and Amir Khan. It is going well because I think everyone realizes it makes sense.” 
By Poerqe: Former two-time world champion Amir Khan (29-3, 19 KOs) has been talking about the Floyd Mayweather Jr. (46-0, 26 KOs) fight for ages now. Amir Khan seems to think he is simply entitled to a fight with Floyd. I have no idea where this sense of entitlement comes from. To his credit he did look good in his last fight against Luis Collazo (35-6, 18 KOs). 
By Poerqe: Keith ‘One time’ Thurman (23-0, 21 KO’s) just obliterated Julio Diaz (40-10-1, 29 KO’s) in three rounds. This was the same Julio Diaz who knocked Amir Khan (29-3, 19 KO’s) down and fought to a draw against Shawn Porter (24-0-1, 15 KO’s). But where does Keith go from here. After the Jesús Soto Karass fight, Keith was looking for a big name opponent. He spoke to Schaeffer and Al Haymon and asked for Shawn Porter. It came as a surprise to me that Porter was quick to dismiss the fight.
By Poerqe: It seems like Amir Khan (28-3, 19 KO’s) has signed with the well known boxing adviser Al Haymon. This could be a very smart move by Amir and his team. Not only is it easier for Amir to make a fight with Floyd Mayweather Jr now. But he also doesn’t have to earn that fight anymore.
By Poerqe: WBA welterweight champion Marcos Maidana’s trainer Robert Garcia believes that Floyd Mayweather Jr. (45-0, 26 KO’s) is a much better boxer than his fighter, but at the same time, Garcia is convinced he has come up with a plan to give Mayweather his first loss when Maidana faces him on May 3rd this year. Garcia’s plan is to go back to what Maidana did in beating the Mayweather-like Adrien Broner last December by a 12 round unanimous decision. Maidana jumped on Broner immediately in that fight and put nonstop pressure on him and quickly overwhelmed Broner’s shoulder roll defense. Broner wasn’t able to keep up with Maidana’s high work rate.
By Poerqe: Bob Arum says that Amir Khan has been humiliated by Floyd Mayweather Jr. and is a laughing stock. And claiming Mayweather’s action to be disgraceful and that he should be ashamed of himself.
