Floyd “Money” Mayweather had successfully defended his titles against Marcus Rene Maidana last year; but before the first fight happened, Amir Khan was hoping for a Mayweather fight. Sadly, it didn’t happen because the pound for pound king chose to meet the Argentinean boxing superstar twice.
Amir Khan started teasing the “Money Man” since 2013, but for some undisclosed reason, Floyd is still not responding to him. The question is; Is he avoiding Amir Khan? Fighting twice against Maidana was not a good news for Amir because those fights have chopped his dream fight against the undefeated Floyd.
When 2015 has began to roll, Amir Khan was waiting for Floyd Mayweather to accept his challenge, but due to pressure from various people in the big world of boxing, Floyd Mayweather was forced to meet Manny Pacquiao in the ring. Titled “The Fight of the Century,” boxing fans came out just to watch the boxing match.
A report said Mayweather had received $200M while Manny had also received $160M right after the fight. The fight is being recognized as one of the richest fights in the history of the sport. Sad to say, fight fans including Hollywood celebrities were not satisfied by the result of the Mayweather-Pacquiao bout.
For them, it was one of the boring fights they have ever seen in the sport. But anyway, the fight is over and Floyd Mayweather had already been declared winner. Moving forward is the key to forget the saddest moment in the history of boxing. Several weeks ago, Floyd said he is choosing between Berto and Mayfield for his scheduled twelve-round showdown this coming September.
Both fighters, Berto and Mayfield have already said their piece regarding the issue; for them, it would be a great fight should the pound for pound king meets anyone of them in the ring. Despite the issue, Amir Khan is still hoping for the best; in one of his interviews, he mentioned that he is always in the gym because Floyd might get his name for his September fight.
On the other hand, using his official social media account, Floyd confirmed that he has started training last week. Floyd is still not voicing out his opinion regarding his next foe; until now, his fans and supporters even the media who cover his day to day activities in training are still puzzled.
They still don’t know if Floyd will choose Berto or Mayfield; but according to some observers, he picks Amir Khan. They said he was just confusing the world of boxing when he said he's choosing between Karim Mayfield and Andre Berto because the truth is, he's focusing himself on Amir Khan.
