During my recent conversation with Floyd Mayweather, the five-division world champion spoke on his scheduled return to the ring this coming May 3 in Las Vegas.

While not calling out any specific names for who he could be facing next, Mayweather did claim that whoever he meets is going to help him “do good numbers”, referring to his standing as the sport’s biggest pay per view draw.

Upon hearing Mayweather mention his star power, I instantly flashed to the reports that the Nov. 23 Manny Pacquiao vs. Brandon Rios HBO pay per view match had generated just 475,000 buys.

That number from Pacquiao was lower than many expected from him, as the Filipino star had stamped himself as a legitimate attraction in recent years by pulling successful numbers against the likes of Oscar De La Hoya, Ricky Hatton, Miguel Cotto, Antonio Margarito, Juan Manuel Marquez and others.

There is an increasing buzz in the boxing community that Floyd Mayweather may end up facing British star Amir Khan this coming May 3 in Las Vegas.
