Amir Khan vs Marcos Maidana In Talks

BoxingScene.com was advised that today's WBA mandated purse bid for a junior welterweight title fight between full champion Amir Khan and interim-champion Marcos Maidana was canceled. From what I was told, there was an agreement reached. Details of the agreement are unknown at the moment but there are two stories going around. According to one story, Maidana will allow Khan to take an interim-fight before they meet, and the other story has Khan-Maidana going forward on April 17 in Las Vegas.

Khan recently signed a promotional deal with Golden Boy Promotions, who also co-promote Maidana with Universum.

Contrary to some of the reports in Argentina, Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer advised BoxingScene.com that a deal has not been reached to have Amir Khan defend his WBA 140-pound title against mandatory Marcos Maidana on April 17 in Las Vegas. Schaefer asked the WBA for permission to postpone Monday's purse bid for two weeks in order to give his company more time to finalize a deal. If no deal is finalized in two weeks, the fight will head back to a purse bid. Several dates are being considered.

"We just signed Amir Khan and we are the co-promoter of Maidana. We asked the WBA for a two-week extension to give us more time. If we can't come to terms, then we still have the purse bid. The two weeks gives us more time," Schaefer told BoxingScene on Monday afternoon.

I am going tohave totake Maidana
and Perez if he ends up fighting Abner Mares

I am just happy Khan showed everyone he's got balls and isn't going to allow his career to be cherry picked.

Khan has the ability to box Maidana's socks off but he really needs to be careful and makes sure he doesn't get clipped.
