But what does this do for Mayweather? Its purely no reward except the money. Not that that should be overlooked. I guess I would do the same. I guess I would be okay with it if they are just waiting for a developing and we get something megafight like in September. Kind of like Guerrero then Canelo. Maybe Khan then Garcia.
I disagree that Khan doesn't deserve it.

Depends how you look at it.

From a skill standpoint he definitely deserves it.
From a results standpoint he doesn't.

Most importantly, from an excitement standpoint he's 100% box office gold, he is exciting to watch, which is partly why his current form isn't great, he gets involved in brawls, which is brave for a guy with a questionable chin.

Look at the Klitschkos fighting guys like Pianeta and stuff, who clearly doesn't deserve it, but Khan is a few times world champion so it's not the most far fetched fight.
