Mayweather gives Khan take-it-or-leave-it offer


Recommended Posts

Floyd Mayweather Jnr has promised to fight Amir Khan next year - but only if Khan beats Jessie Vargas first.

WBA and IBF light-welterweight champion Khan intends to have one more bout at 140lb, most likely against Lamont Peterson in December, before moving up to welterweight and taking on Mayweather.

However, it appears that he will have alter his plans and face Vargas, the unbeaten 22-year-old under Mayweather's wing, if he is to achieve his ultimate goal.

"Once Amir Khan faces the future of boxing, which is Jessie Vargas, my fighter, Amir Khan has a fight with Floyd Mayweather, but he must face Jessie Vargas first ? You got to earn it," said Mayweather.

"He's fought a Zab Judah who I fought six years ago. I fought a young, strong, hungry Zab Judah and he fought a Zab Judah that's a lot older, but we want Amir Khan to fight Jessie Vargas, we're looking for that fight. If Amir Khan gets past Jessie Vargas, then Amir Khan has a fight with Floyd Mayweather."

Meanwhile, Mayweather has lobbied for Ricky Hatton, who he beat via technical knockout in 2007, to be inducted into boxing's Hall of Fame.

"I take my hat off to Ricky Hatton, a true warrior and true champion. We had one hell of a fight when we faced each other and I wish him and his family nothing but the best. Hopefully he can go into the Hall of Fame one day," Mayweather said.

Here's hoping Khan takes Mayweather up on his offer. :)

Funny how Money keeps calling every fighter out except one.

QFT!

"Money" needs to put his "Money" where his mouth is! The world doesn't wanna see him continue to roll over everyone who just ain't good enough. There is one man waiting, go get him Floyd, what you scared of? Winning streak?

    • Microsoft announces the return of Xbox exclusives with Gears of War and Clockwork Revolution by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft had plenty of announcements to make today at the Xbox Games Showcase celebrating 25 years of the gaming brand. Now, under the leadership of the new Xbox CEO Asha Sharma, Xbox games are going back to their original release methods. She appeared in the livestream itself to announce the return of Xbox console exclusives. This means two major upcoming games from first-party studios won't be coming to PlayStation or Nintendo consoles: Gears of War: E-Day from The Coalition and Clockwork Revolution from InExile. Both titles will only be coming out on Xbox Series X|S consoles and Windows PCs, ditching any plans they had for PlayStation. "These are not timed exclusives," confirmed Microsoft. "We’re committed to investing in and growing XBOX both on console and beyond." The company confirmed that any already announced Xbox titles for PlayStation, under previous leadership, will continue to arrive for the rival platform. This means games like the new Halo remake, Forza Horizon 6, Fable, and State of Decay 3 will still be available on PlayStation, either at launch or later. It sounds like any new projects announced by the company will avoid other consoles in the same way. Microsoft first opened the floodgates by bringing titles like Sea of Thieves, Grounded, Hi-Fi Rush, and Pentiment to PlayStation and Nintendo consoles back in 2024. Since then, almost every new game release from Xbox Game Studios has arrived for rival consoles alongside Xbox and PC. This decision follows Sony's plans to ditch its own multiplatform releases too. Outside of multiplatform live service titles, the PlayStation maker is even abandoning its PC porting endeavors that started years ago.
    • I'm missing the beginning part of this equation... but for the sake of the convo, you don't get to take a $250(?) set of normally priced RAM, jack it up to over $500/600/800 just because of a market shift, then lower it back down to more than what it was originally and call that a "sale". Not the author of this post... the manufacturer/seller.
