The showdown between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Amir Khan could generate as much as $200 million, a figure that would made it easier for Money May to pick Great Britain's top welterweight for his May 3rd fight in MGM Grand Garden in Las Vegas, Nevada.

2014 is expected to be another big year for Mayweather, who already received more than $100 million in fight purse and Pay Per View buys from his fight against Welterweight contender Robert Guerrero and former light middleweight champ Saul Canelo Alvarez in 2013,

In a report by Jeff Powell of Daily Mail UK, the expected revenue that Mayweather vs. Khan fight will generate could go up to $200 million, making it another blockbuster stint for Mayweather inside the squared circle.

"This will be the third in his series of six fights with Showtime on a contract expected to net him more than $200m. He has banked $41.5m from his virtuoso performance against Canelo, with more to come when figures are in for overseas TV and merchandising revenue," according to the Daily Mail.

Khan will surely receive the most lucrative paycheck of his career, if he's able to land a match with the reigning pound-for-pound king. Powell believed the two-time jr. welterweight champion could rack up at least $6 million and it could go higher because of his share from pay per view buys and merchandize sales.

Many boxing pundits believed Khan doesn't deserve a shot at Mayweather, primarily because of his not so convincing wins against Mexican veteran slugger Julio Diaz and his high-profile losses to Lamont Peterson and Danny Garcia.

However, insiders in Mayweather's camp revealed that Khan would likely be the most ideal foe for Mayweather because of the Briton's strong fan base in Great Britain. Moreover, many boxing fans are intrigued by his speed and how it plays out against Money May's strong defense.

"While the number of supporters following Khan may not reach the 30,000 who made the pilgrimage for Hatton's tilt at Mayweather in 2007, the British interest seems certain to push the MGM gate revenue record for boxing in Nevada even higher," Powell said in his article.

"And, in one crucial sense, the belief that Mayweather is omnipotent works heavily in favour of our highest profile ambassador for Anglo-Moslem relations," the analyst added.
