Keep the $74.95 and pass on this Mayweather fight
As long as he was competitive, it would help his career by making him a more visible fighter to the casual boxing fans, many of which don’t know who Khan is in the United States.
Plus, Khan has already beaten Maidana. Best believe I plan to bring it to Floyd and I’m not concerned about what 48 other fighters have been unable to do. The contract has given Mayweather the financial power he needed to become his own boss, which is why Thurman has hinted that there was some sort of “politics” involved into being left out in the running towards becoming the next fighter who will have a shot at Mayweather’s undefeated record.
I’d fight Mayweather any time.
I think Khan’s opportunities in the welterweight division are a minefield of potential pain and misery.
No, Mayweather has earned the right to pick his opponents.

“Khan, who has won 31 of his 34 fights, added: “I’m disappointed not to have got the fight for what is the third time after being a frontrunner”. But this would change if Khan got a fight against Mayweather and/or Pacquiao. Fortunately for the 8-1 favorite, Algieri possesses feathery fists and his punches couldn’t even floor the delicate Khan.
In what Mayweather claims might be his final fight, and what is the last bout on his rich six-fight Showtime television deal, the reigning World Boxing Association and World Boxing Council champion will risk his crowns against a two-time world champion who has lost three of his past six fights.
“However, there are many big fights out there for me and I’m going to continue working hard to establish myself at the top of the welterweight division”. Khan has been very vocal about wanting a fight against Floyd “Money” Mayweather Jr. – a fight that isn’t going to happen. That would be a huge fight for Khan’s career. At least for the last two years the Brit boxer of Pakistani origin who is around a decade younger than Floyd Mayweather and is at the height of his boxing career, has been demanding a match with the American boxer. The recent Philadelphian’s efforts have largely gone under the radar, however, occurring mostly in the United Kingdom where he has spent considerable time refining his craft and developing a rapport with Tyson Fury (24-0, 18 KOs) and Fury’s uncle, trainer Peter Fury.
The reason for that is the man he is planning to fight – Andre Berto. About the best thing anyone in the promotion can say about Berto is that he’s aggressive, and may actually try to hit Mayweather.
