The statement 'and focus on Amir's next fight' is pretty telling. Obviously they have a better offer than Peterson. This doesn't surprise me really. I wrote after the Peterson loss that he would most likely avoid a Peterson rematch as irrelevant and instead chase a top name. He's one of the biggest money men in the division which is why Floyd is so keen to fight him. Looks likely it will happen anyway. I thought he'd need to fight and beat Marquez first but an immediate fight with Floyd is hardly atypical for boxing, where the money fights are made regardless.

While I think PBF - Khan could make for a good fight, Mayweather would get absolutely raked over the coals if he takes Khan as his next opponent.

Little late after he's been given rematch but I get it. He can ride controversy of Peterson fight and blow it off (frankly Peterson could do same) but he's already put his foot in his mouth...kind of the boy that cried wolf. Most likely he's had mention of much larger name fight. A fighter wants options, but if this if a Mayweather option Khan will get hit on like a shiney upright nail all night.
