^^ Yup. Has there ever been a serious prize fight in Dubai? I'm thinking no, wheras it's tossed around all the time. You probably have to donate 50% of your purse to OPEC or something fighting there, who knows.

It makes sense that Khans people want to land a Floyd fight and cash in on him, and fair play to them if fighting Alexander is the ticket to get there. I wouldn't think it would boost his stock enormously, but if he did actually win it's easily his best victory as a pro. If he were in it for the long haul I think it would be a lot safer to rematch Peterson or Maidana even, but neither of those guys are WW's anyways, and Khan could pretty well lose to a garden rake on a given night. I like this matchup if it happens.
