Why are people even shocked by this? How did you not see this coming? I cant prove it but imo this entire gig was premeditated by Haymon and Mayweather the moment Maidana beat Broner. They put the cash carrot out there and Khan took the bait. Even the poll was a hoax. Floyd could not justify fighting Khan based on his home poll when the international Espn poll along with countless others overwhelmingly voted for Maidana. But they knew that before it was orchestrated because they wrote the music.

Don't kid yourselves, Broner was part of the plan or economical equation from the start. Think about it, Broner cant take a tuneup after getting beat soundly by a man he was supposed to beat soundly. Enter Khan. A guy that lets face it has a history of underachieving and choking badly. A fighter who has a dodgy chin and seems to get caught at the worst possible times as in when stepping straight back or off balance. But a fighter nonetheless that beat the man that beat Broner. So again, what better way to get back to the top with the casual viewing public then beat the man that beat the man that beat him? Then after Floyd beats Maidana senseless, Broner will at least be on equal footing should a rematch be discussed. It would not even surprise me to see Floyd drop the belt he will surly win from Maidana and puppet master another title shot for Broner.

Boxing is more about the business and appearance then it is about pugilism. Unless there is a total meltdown in negotiations I think Khan/Broner is a lock. Khan has called Broner out and now Floyd has called Khan out to fight Broner. That is why Broner has been quiet and all of it being directed by the Mayweather consortium. You dont really need to be Jimmy the Greek to figure this one out. I guess Khan could pull a Bradly and back out but I doubt it.
