Floyd Mayweather Jr.'s next fight? It won't be against Amir Khan, and it won't be on CBS

Floyd Mayweather Jr. has ruled out fighting England's Amir Khan next, and it's now looking like his Sept. 12 bout will be televised on Showtime pay-per-view, not CBS.

A boxing official involved in negotiations but not authorized to discuss details publicly told The Times on Saturday that it's "90 percent" likely that Mayweather (48-0) will fight on Showtime.

Originally, CBS emerged as a player, with Mayweather interested in exploring whether advertising revenue could support a fight of his magnitude.

In May, Mayweather earned in excess of $220 million for beating Manny Pacquiao by unanimous decision in the richest fight in history.
