Nobody gives a rat's ass about floyd-khan except for some guys in Pakistan and some insurgents that are still around.

Bob always says he's ready to make the fight. Then he goes and makes Pacquiao vs. Other Arum Welter. Bradley II, Marquez V, Provodnikov, Alvarado, Abregu or even Rios II will likely all happen before Mayweather.

i wouldnt have thought that there are too many fights that would generate more money than floyd khan

[powerpuncher]

a floyd-khan fight is only good if it is in the UK. i know that floyd wants the fight there but i remember hearing about problems with it and that it probably couldnt happen there. if that is true then i think the fight is a total waste. khan hasnt proven himself to be the front runner in the floyd sweepstakes. although i will say that i think khan does alright in the fight until he gets KO'd.

Because British boxing fans like you are gullible and will buy anything if you wrap it up in the Union Jack?

Floyd - Khan is a joke match-up.

Floyd - Khan is a joke match-up.

No doubt, it's ridiculous that's it's even being discussed. Why doesn't Floyd fight one of the guys who beat Khan?


Khan had better thank his lucky stars he wasn't at 140 when Randall Bailey was a bit younger

Khan is a name. It would promote and sell well. Across the globe.

And speaking of gullible - Y'all better get used to the idea of a shin dig with Amir Khan because the Pacquiao fight ain't ever gonna happen. Despite whatever comes outta Arum pie hole!

[Bo-Bo24]

I don't think Floyd can fight in the UK because his contract with Showtime is exclusive to the MGM in Las Vegas. The good thing about the deal though is that it pressures him to take the biggest fights around like Pacquiao, however we've heard it all before so don't hold your breath.

Sick of all this floyd/pac stuff.
Whats the point.
I want to see the fight.
You want to see the fight.
If it happens and floyd schools him which is a certainty..what then?
Its better for arum and roach to keep mentioning floyd knowing the fight wont happen so people can always think..what if?

Floyd can fight until he is 40+
Pac has already been ko by a 40 yr old marquez and beat by an injured bradley(both smart boxers)
Lets be real. Stay in your lane until your contract ends with bob arum and then we can talk.

Even if the Pac fight doesn't happen it doesn't mean Floyd should fight some nobody like Khan. Why not Danny Garcia, he knocked out Khan why would Floyd doing the exact same thing that's been done before interest anyone?

I'd rather Floyd rematch Cotto if he can't get a fight vs Pac or Martinez

Damn when will Arum retire? Whatever happened to that temporary stadium blah blah blah. Showtime/CBS need to say to Top Rank if you ever wanna show boxing on our networks you had better get your head out of your ass and make the damn fight happen. Mayweather can say whatever; But he is locked in a contract so if they wanna make Pac vs Mayweather he really has no other choice.
