The September 12 match against Berto will be the sixth and final fight of a record-breaking deal between Mayweather and Showtime Networks, leading to speculation it could be the farewell match for the American. Khan was the highest candidate to get the struggle.

Ellerbe also claims that Berto has “never, ever been in a tiresome fight” as he continued to drum up interest for Mayweather’s September 12 assignment. In July, Davis visited Mayweather’s training camp in Las Vegas where he also met with Money May and powerful manager, Al Haymon, to discuss his future in boxing. He doesn’t agree that Khan needs Mayweather for him to have a great career.
Khan did concede that Mayweather, who improved his flawless professional record to 48-0 after beating Manny Pacquiao for the WBC, WBA and WBO welterweight titles in May, was entitled to fight whomever he wished.
I’d fight Mayweather any time. “Nevertheless, there are lots of huge fights on the market for me and I’ll proceed working exhausting to determine myself on the prime of the welterweight division”. Because of this, Khan has a unique perspective on how Pacquiao fights.
“I am dissatisfied to not have gotten the battle for what’s the third time after having been one of many frontrunners”. Mayweather hasn’t cleanly knocked out an opponent since Ricky Hatton in December 2007. Best believe I plan to bring it to Floyd and I’m not concerned about what 48 other fighters have been unable to do. Fortunately for the 8-1 favorite, Algieri possesses feathery fists and his punches couldn’t even floor the delicate Khan.
However as soon as once more, Mayweather ignored Khan, whose velocity, measurement and athleticism many assume would give Mayweather some issues.
Khan needled Mayweather together with his huge mouth and primarily begged for the struggle, which didn’t go over properly with Mayweather.
He says it will be his last fight, but it won’t. 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.
-Mayweather’s usual pedicurist calls in sick the morning of the fight, and the replacement digs a bit too deeply into his big toe.

It won’t be an easy sell after Mayweather-Pacquiao shut down cable and satellite ordering systems on fight night, delaying opening bell while the 4.4 million domestic pay-per-view buyers clogged phone lines.
