Re: Mayweather to Khan - "Beat Broner on my show and I'll fight you next"
Top Rank fighters fight other Top Rank fighters. It keeps all the money in Bob Arum's house.
Floyd fights any fighter as long as they're not with Top Rank.
Why? Because Bob Arum owes Floyd lots of money and Floyd is never going to give Arum the opportunity to make any more money off him.
All any fighter has to do to get a fight with Floyd Mayweather is be marketable and not have a contract with Top Rank.
But why does Floyd get to pick and choose who he fights? How is that fair? Its because he's the paid athlete not only boxing, but the world... So FLOYD IS THE FIGHT.
It's so simple... I don't understand why you morons don't get it!
Re: Mayweather to Khan - "Beat Broner on my show and I'll fight you next"
Why are people even shocked by this? How did you not see this coming? I cant prove it but imo this entire gig was premeditated by Haymon and Mayweather the moment Maidana beat Broner. They put the cash carrot out there and Khan took the bait. Even the poll was a hoax. Floyd could not justify fighting Khan based on his home poll when the international Espn poll along with countless others overwhelmingly voted for Maidana. But they knew that before it was orchestrated because they wrote the music.
Don't kid yourselves, Broner was part of the plan or economical equation from the start. Think about it, Broner cant take a tuneup after getting beat soundly by a man he was supposed to beat soundly. Enter Khan. A guy that lets face it has a history of underachieving and choking badly. A fighter who has a dodgy chin and seems to get caught at the worst possible times as in when stepping straight back or off balance. But a fighter nonetheless that beat the man that beat Broner. So again, what better way to get back to the top with the casual viewing public then beat the man that beat the man that beat him? Then after Floyd beats Maidana senseless, Broner will at least be on equal footing should a rematch be discussed. It would not even surprise me to see Floyd drop the belt he will surly win from Maidana and puppet master another title shot for Broner.
Boxing is more about the business and appearance then it is about pugilism. Unless there is a total meltdown in negotiations I think Khan/Broner is a lock. Khan has called Broner out and now Floyd has called Khan out to fight Broner. That is why Broner has been quiet and all of it being directed by the Mayweather consortium. You dont really need to be Jimmy the Greek to figure this one out. I guess Khan could pull a Bradly and back out but I doubt it.
Re: Mayweather to Khan - "Beat Broner on my show and I'll fight you next"
Listen Imp, Chris's scenario is FAR more plausible.
I am not saying Mayweather is not a great fighter. I am not dismissing Mayweather from being the BEST boxer.
Fact is he will not face a fighter whom he thinks might be able to beat him.
He did fucking good against Canelo but that's because he saw a clear method that he could employ to win against slugger Canelo.
He has beaten good fighters but at this stage he needs to be fighting the top guys, Bradley, Pac and a couple other top guys I rate as well, NOT useless Maidana or Khan!
Those are good opponents for Broner, they are "safe options" for Floyd.
Why the fuck would Top Rank not want to face Floyd?? Seriously???

Pride.
Bob will only put someone up against floyd he know will beat.
Bob does not want to leave this earth knowing floyd beat his best fighter(s).
He has billions and always wants more money but its better to give everyone the opinion that hes tried everything he can to make the fight but in reality he will never let bradley or pac in the ring with him.
When floyd was on top rank bob was on youtube saying hes the best thing since sugar ray ray robinson..now hes a cherry picking chicken..go figure!
Like i said before, get over it and read between the lines..
Conspiracy theorist.

Who else can he have on the undercard if it isn't broner vs khan anyways? I'm asking cuz idk if garcia or any other big name is already set for a different date to fight.
i agree, may knows his fight will be a snoozer. so he better have something interesting on the under
Re: Mayweather to Khan - "Beat Broner on my show and I'll fight you next"
@imp I cannot believe you think it's Arum scared to put his bloody fighters up against Floyd, he's filthy rich and would not give 2 fucks what anybody thought about that. In actual fact were Bob Arum to be the one to make that happen he would be lauded as a hero even if his fighters lost because he delivered us what we all wanted and make history right!!!
Bob Arum isn't the one fighting either so has substantially less to lose. I see Manny's entire team PUSHING HARD for a fight! And Bradley! But all I see from Floyd and co is ducking and refusing to comment at all and when he does it's a mindless BS like "oh, that fight doesn't make sense!" Of course it makes sense!
He basically ADMITS he's ducking and yet you will still find excuses for him.
Conspiracy theory at it's most elaborate. Almost too ridiculous to even contemplate.
imp is an alt for a Mayweather family member, I'm sure of it! In fact "Hello Floyd!!" LOL
Re: Mayweather to Khan - "Beat Broner on my show and I'll fight you next"
Floyd has made it very clear...if you want to fight him you have to meet 3 criteria:
1- be clean - you must have random tests done in advance of the fight
2- be marketable - gotta be able to put asses in the seats and sell the PPV (which rules out most everyone on this site)
3- not be under contract with Bob Arum
If Pac and Bradley really want to fight Mayweather so badly then that's all they gotta do. They've even already passed 1 of the 3 since they're both marketable.
That just leaves 2 simple little things.

Im still waiting on the proof they are juicing. PAc may as well fight broner (close he can get to floyd, then kahn, then maidana and say fuck it and call it a day. same with bradley.

There's no proof that they are juicing.(Aside from that time Roach threw Manny under the bus while trying to discredit Ariza...) But its Floyd's prrogative as the fighter to demand that they take drug tests. Since he's his own boss he can make those decisions for himself. Since he's the main draw and money behind the fight he can walk away if his demands aren't met.
