Re: Mayweather: Khan's name holds no weight, i'm focused on pacquiao!
Utter Crap.... Not saying I saw anything in the last khan fight that really made him more of a threat to floyd. I actually think his foot work regressed a tad.That being said I did nod off after alexander gave up, so maybe i missed something.
Now first problem I see is that Khan had his foot in the door before the first freakin maidana fight. His name was of the possibles. Then Maidana mauled broner and gathered some Luster. So how the hell is Khan holding no weight now if we was then when all he did was win in the meantime. Suspect. (i still thing floyd beats Khan handily because of khans mistakes, but anyway .. i digress)
i'm about to answer my own question now. Whats floyd afraid of with Khan? Khan's ego... With khans inflated ego, khans going to demand more money and fresh off a win over alexander, there will be arguments that maybe he deserves a bigger piece and floyds not willing to take the pay cut, on a smaller payday. Pacquiao demands a bigger piece than khan but with the buys being higher, floyds still guaranteed a certain amount.
This kind of goes back to Khans ego. Someone in his camp really needs to smack him upside the head whenever he opens his mouth. The way to get mayweather in the ring is to shame him there and corner him. judah did it, mosely did it, maidana did it in the rematch. When Mayweather beat maidana, Khan should have jumped up and said "At least I dropped him with a bodyshot... So take your rest and start training so i can do the same thing to you " Not... "oh let me check my calendar.... hmmm Ramadan.. The fight cant be till this time or that time..." Khan screwed himself out of an opportunity as he often does by opening his mouth and trying to dictate things when he has no stroke. Just like this thing with brook. Fight brook. Brook wants it.. and has a title. whats the problem? Oh it has to be just right .. etc etc etc.. whos the bigger star...
Khan wont fight mayweather because he keeps doing things like that and people will keep cutting in everytime khan checks his calendar or starts daydreaming of what should be.
They want your @$$ beat because upsets make news. News brings about excitement, excitement brings about ratings. The objective is to bring you up to the tower and tear your @$$ down. And if you don't believe that, you're crazy.
