By Scott Gilfoid: While some fighters earn their shots at huge money fights by beating top caliber opposition, others do it on the cheap by beating 2nd tier fighters and guys that fight in a division below them. Amir Khan (30-3, 19 KOs) believes that if he beats the light hitting 140 pound contender Chris Algieri (20-1, 8 KOs) on May 29th, it will open the door for him to get a big money fight against Floyd Mayweather Jr. in September.
Khan points out that Algieri was recently beaten by Manny Pacquiao last November, and he feels that if Algieri was good enough to face Pacquiao, then he’s good enough to be his opponent.

By Scott Gilfoid: In what will surely be seen in a negative light by many boxing fans, former IBF/WBC light welterweight champion Amir Khan (30-3, 19 KOs) will be back in the ring at the end of next month on May 29th against former WBO 140 pound world titlist Chris Algieri (20-1, 8 KOs) on Spike TV on Premier Boxing Champions at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

By Gav Duthie: Only 48 hours after making the decision to fight Chris Algieri on May 30th it wouldn’t surprise me if Amir Khan is already regretting it. I am normally an Amir critic with regards to his attitude, decision making and delusions of grandeur but in this instance I feel for the Bolton boxer. Granted there were bigger fights out there than Chris Algieri but this is still a very tricky opponent for Amir. He is going to have to be 100% up for a fight that no television network seems to want to pick up and no fan seems to support. Don’t get me wrong:
