By Scott Gilfoid: In a sign of what appears to be growing desperation from Amir Khan in his attempts to get a Floyd Mayweather Jr. mega-fight, Khan came up with a list of reasons why Mayweather needs to fight him on May 3rd instead of someone else. Among the reasons why Mayweather should fight him instead of another opponent, Khan mentioned that he has almost as many twitter followers as Floyd, and that he’s well known in India, Pakistan, Dubai and England.
I hate to be the one to break this to Khan but the fight, if Khan gets picked out by Floyd, will be staged in the United States and not the places that he mentioned where he’s popular. This means that the fans in the other areas of the world won’t be able to pump up the U.S PPV totals unless they fly over to the U.S and order the fight on Showtime PPV. Somehow, I don’t see that happening, which is why Khan’s argument is totally irrelevant.
By Scott Gilfoid: Sports Illustrated’s Chris Mannix is reporting that the much talked about fight between Amir Khan (28-3, 19 KO’s) and Floyd Mayweather Jr. (45-0, 26 KO’s) is basically a done deal, and that it should be announced by next week. That fight, of course, will be taking place in Las Vegas, Nevada on May 3rd, the Cinco de Mayo holiday weekend.
by Scott Gilfoid: Sky Sports analyst Glenn McCrory believes that Amir Khan (28-3, 19 KO’s) has the speed and the style to give Floyd Mayweather Jr. (45-0, 26 KO’s) his first defeat of his career on May 3rd when/if this fight is put together. McCrory already said that Khan has him believing that he’ll be Mayweather’s next opponent, but he also has him under the impression that he’s going to beat the 36-year-old Mayweather in this fight. 
By Scott Gilfoid: Former two division world champion Amir Khan (28-3, 19 KO’s) says he’ll only agree to fight Floyd Mayweather Jr. (45-0, 26 KO’s) at 147 lbs., and not at a catch-weight over that weight. Mayweather hasn’t asked Khan for a catch-weight, so it’s hard to understand what Khan is talking about. Heck, Khan still doesn’t have the fight, and he’s already talking himself out of it by drawing a line in the sand. 
By Scott Gilfoid: Former Floyd Mayweather Jr. victim Ricky Hatton believes that Amir Khan actually has a decent chance of beating Mayweather Jr. in their proposed fight on May 3rd next year in Las Vegas, Nevada. Although the fight hasn’t been made yet, it’s likely the one that Mayweather will choose to make due to him having run out of interesting opponents to fight. 
By Nas Jawaid: There’s certainly a difference of opinion about the Amir Khan vs. Floyd Mayweather Jr. fight. Some fans believe Khan won’t stand a chance at all, some believe he doesn’t deserve a chance, and the rest believe in Amir Khan. I guess it’s easy to say there’s’ definitely a split decision. One thing which every boxing fan would agree on is that Khan brings excitement, not only because of his fast hands and combination punching, but also because of his suspect chin. We never know what’s going to happen in a Khan fight. 
By Allan Fox: Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer is hoping he can put together a fight between Amir Khan and Floyd Mayweather Jr. Schaefer believes that Khan’s large British fan base will help make the fight a huge success by them flying over from the UK to see the fight in the U.S. Interestingly enough, Schaefer doesn’t see the fight as a mismatch like most people view the Mayweather-Khan fight. Schaefer thinks that with Khan’s hand speed that he could give Mayweather a lot of problems. Schaefer rates Khan’s hand speed as better than Mayweather’s. 
By Albert Choi: With the recent talk about Amir Khan (28-3-0, 19 KO’s) being the favorite to land the fight against pound for pound king, Floyd “Money” Mayweather (47-0, 26 KOs). I found it quite confusing how Khan has even been in the discussion for the fight based on what he has done in the past year or so. Let me explain. 
By Lavon Shepard: Currently Amir Khan (28-3 19KOs ) is lobbying for a fight with Floyd Mayweather Jr. This matchup is ridiculous for two reasons. For one Amir Khan is not in the same league as Mayweather and should start beating B-level fighters before trying challenge the big dogs in boxing. Second, there are more deserving opponents still out there for Floyd to face that will create fan excitement.
By Scott Gilfoid: Former two division world champion Amir Khan (28-3, 19 KO’s) could have fought two more times this year and gotten good paydays. But instead he’s remained inactive since his controversial life and death win over Julio Diaz last April in London. Khan is waiting to find out if he’ll get the payday fight of his life against Floyd Mayweather Jr. on May 3rd, and right now Khan is still not even sure if his promoters at Golden Boy will be able to produce that fight for him. As such, Khan could end up with two missed paydays and pretty much a year of his career wasted on him playing it safe waiting for the Mayweather fight.
