Yahoo sport reporting that Mayweather is keen to face Khan at Wembley Stadium

[Bo-Bo24]

I have heard in the past that Mayweather wants to put on something big in the UK and TMT is coming for a business trip this summer, but he hasn't fought outside for Vegas for ages, and never the States. Not sure how much truth there is in this due to Floyds Showtime contract but here's the report.

Double taxation for American athletes fighting abroad. Floyd maybe banned from injecting his hands before the fight. Up to twenty million dollars on the gate plus a site fee from the MGM available in Vegas with zero state taxes versus let's say a hundred bucks a seat for the Wembley promotion (maybe more, no idea how the ticket resellers split the money with the promoters) times 80 000 equals eight million minus taxes. Three hundred a seat and you're still doing less than Vegas. Figure on a drop in US PPV due to the fight being abroad, Arum used to say Ali fights abroad meant a 50% drop in closed circuit revenue. Endless other complications not least that Floyd was just refused a UK visa.

Floyd was talking about buying the Clippers too but it was just a PR stunt to sell his last fight. This is probably something similar. I can't see Hearn/Sky coming up with a guarantee that could match what Vegas can offer.
