After months of speculation and down right confusion, it seems that Amir Khan has come to the realization that Floyd Mayweather will be facing Marcos Maidana on May 3.
Khan had been the leading choice to face the pound-for-pound king until Maidana dominated Mayweather’s “little brother” Adrien Broner in December.
Even though Khan won Mayweather Promotions’ fan vote reecently, he expressed his disappointment via Twitter earlier today, saying that he felt disrespected and wished Maidana good luck.
No response from Mayweather or his team. Fights not happening. I should of taken the title fight last December against Alexander…
