The highly-anticipated showdown between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Amir Khan could soon be finalized, paving way to a showdown that is expected to earn no less than $200 million.
Mayweather Jr. was reportedly choosing between Khan and newly-crowned WBA welterweight champion Marcos Maidana.
But Maidana could be thrown out of the picture as ESPN recently reported that the Argentine will put his title on the line in a rematch with Adrien Broner that could take place on April 19 or 26 in San Antonio or California.
Broner also confirmed the planned rematch through his Twitter account on Monday, saying that he would make a major comeback after the setback that he absorbed during his first meeting with Maidana last month.
The previously-unbeaten American, who is a good friend of Mayweather Jr, absorbed a lopsided unanimous decision loss to Maidana on December 14 in San Antonio.
Yahoo Sports reported that Khan's decision to withdraw from his planned collision with Devon Alexander also proved that his camp is anticipating a big date with the reigning pound-for-pound king, who will return to the ring on May 3rd at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
Khan, who has not stepped on the ring since scoring a unanimous decision win over Julio Diaz on April 27 last year, could be a serious threat to the unbeaten American.
But for Floyd Mayweather Sr, Khan and even Maidana are not capable of pushing his son to the limits, saying that both fighters could be easily dismantled by the 36-year-old champion if ever they get a chance to fight him.
"Both of them would be easy," Mayweather Sr told HustleBoss when asked about Khan and Maidana as possible opponents of Floyd in May. "That's two easy fights there. Both of them is easy. Maidana might have punching power, but you still can't hit what you can't see. And that's going to put Maidana under the tree. It's simple."
The elder Mayweather also took a swipe at Khan, saying that the former British champion has a glass jaw that could be easily shattered by his son.
"Amir Khan has got a glass jaw, man, and if you look at it too hard it could shatter," stressed Floyd Sr.
