Khan: Floyd might announce me as I’m in Ramadan, not training

This is the final bout in the lucrative agreement that netted Mayweather at least $220 million for the Pacquiao bout.

According to Sweet Science, the fight will be televised on CBS, rather than the typical pay-per-view format that Mayweather fans are used to. And while the five-division world champ and current pound-for-pound kingpin has deserved much of the negative attention, a case could be made that some of it has been overblown and based on personal dislike of his character more than actual professional wrongdoing. Mayweather is still the sport’s top PPV draw, and “disappointing” fights vs. Oscar De La Hoya and Canelo Alvarez did absolutely nothing to change that for the worse.

The former Olympic silver medalist added: “He is playing these little games just to look for every advantage that he can get”.

Amir Khan was thought to be the leading contender, but that could wait until next May, which might actually be better for Khan, who would have had to sandwich in a potentially rushed training camp after Ramadan to fight in September. I’m very powerful and comfortable at that weight.

And if Team Mayweather can get away with Berto for win no. 49, why should anyone believe that an even older Mayweather would be paired against anyone more challenging for no. 50?

Gordon’s rep tells TMZ Sports… the National Football League players (who were high school teammates) met Floyd a few months ago and they hit it off…so Floyd offered his place up as a training facility. “He’s a good fighter and we have a mutual respect for one another, but he’s not as durable as I am”, Mayfield said. The 31-year-old lost his undefeated record and his belt to Victor Ortiz in a thrilling 2011 clash that featured two knockdowns apiece, but Berto lost the decision. I bring a rough style to this fight, a style the fans want to see Floyd up against. “I don’t think that will affect me in any way”. “It’s all about me staying in shape”, Khan said. I’m confident we can bring a big crowd to Las Vegas.
