5 reasons why Amir Khan vs Floyd Mayweather makes sense as the next 'Big Fight'

Future opponents? 

With Floyd Mayweather going out to fight his last battle coming September there has been a lot of talk about who he is going to fight?  Lot of names have been thrown into the mix with names like Miguel Cotto, Juan Manuel Marquez, Gennady Golovkin, Kell Brook, Keith Thurman, Manny Pacquiao and many more being talked about, but one person has been getting more heat than ever on this subject and that is  Amir Khan.

Khan vs Mayweather is being talked as the most realistic thing that could happen as far as Mayweather’s last fight is concerned. In this article we analyse why Khan vs Mayweather is the fight that should happen.

The run

Khan is on a good run at the moment

Khan was on the downside of his career in 2012 after having back to back losses and some even thought  that he would never be the same again but a new and improved Khan has been on a good run ever since. With victories against good opponents like Chris Algieri and Devon Alexander, Khan has propelled up the ladder and has certainly made a claim for having Mayweather as his next opponent. Mayweather, on the other hand, has been “red hot” his entire career, clearing out opponents with ease and coming into this fight won’t be a big issue form wise.

The PPV King : Floyd Mayweather

Even though Khan Vs Mayweather won’t do much business as Mayweather vs Pacquiao, it will still get a significant amount of PPV buys in Europe and the USA.  Mayweather who we all know generates massive audience whenever he fights, is guaranteed a PPV base. 

Khan, on the other hand, isn’t lagging either. Khan has a good amount of fans in his home country U.K and to add to that his Pakistani roots will help him draw a good Asian audience as well. The fact that it will be Mayweather’s last fight will certainly draw a lot of attention not only from the sporting world but also from a global scenario as well.
