Amir Khan thought forming an affiliation with Al Haymon would have helped him earn a fight against Floyd Mayweather Jr. He thought wrong.
Mayweather will meet Andre Berto on Sept. 12 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, an announcement that was made last week to a collective groan. Berto is 3-3 in his last six fights and not considered a real challenge to the undefeated Mayweather, the world's best pound-for-pound boxer. The bout will air live on pay-per-view.
Khan thinks there is one very specific reason why Mayweather chose Berto over him.
