Amir Khan Wins
Bout Against Boxer Chris Algieri And Wants To Fight Floyd
Mayweather For The Undefeated Pugilist's Last Match
June 4. 2015
Khan v. Algieri
This is a follow up to the April 6, 2015 article "Amir
Khan Dodging Boxers Kell Brook And Timothy Bradley" where the
Judiciary Report stated, "If Khan loses to undefeated
Brook, his chances of fighting the retiring Mayweather or
resurgent Pacquiao are greatly diminished. They will seek to
fight Brook instead. Fighting formerly undefeated Algieri is less of a risk.
Pacquiao gave a roadmap on how to beat Algieri in his recent win
against him and Khan will use that blueprint."
Chris Algieri and Amir Khan
So said, so done. Two months later, Khan used Pacquiao's
blueprint and beat Algieri in a unanimous decision this past
weekend in New York. The fight was watched by 1,200,000 viewers
on the Spike cable channel in America. It's not pay-per-view,
which is far more lucrative, but it is still a large audience
for a smaller transmission fee in television rights.
Amir Khan
Khan is once again seeking to fight Mayweather, who has one
fight left before retirement. However, a bout with Khan would
not be the most lucrative for Mayweather's last fight (unless he
decides he is not going to retire, as he is still in top
physical condition and fighting well). A rematch against
Filipino boxing star, Manny Pacquiao, would be the most
lucrative bout, garnering another huge payday, after Mayweather
won during their first outing in May. Still, one can't blame
Khan for trying.
