there won't be a rematch,
its likely to be Khan
BBC Sport - Amir Khan open to Floyd Mayweather fight in September
its either him or Cotto at catch weight. he stands to make more money from either of them two than a rematch with Manny.
...especially Khan who will have the whole UK buying his fight with most fans and "experts" (Malignaggi etc) seeing Khan as the biggest welterweight threat to FMW.
they make the same argument for Khan's speed and reach as they did for Manny's intensity and punch volume.
but timing > everything and FMW's timing is like Swiss clockwork!
no chance Floyd's last fight will be Manny. FMW just wants to be seen offering the possibility and not ducking him.
my bet is 49-0 vs Khan for the last fight of his Showtime contract, "retire" for a year and as he'll be a free agent he'll let the big players battle it out for his return fight to beat Marciano's record for 50-0 and he'll literally blow all PPV records out the water as the TV companies will pay him anything to get that fight.
likely that fight will be Cotto or Thurman if he's lived up to expectations.
Floyd won't face Pacman again and he won't retire at 49-0 when his contract expires. his contract expiring at 49-0 tying Marciano is literally a dream for him because fight no.50 will be ridiculous money.
