    So according to Robin Leach of all people, he and Floyd were hanging out this past weekend, and Floyd told him that he had a big announcement soon and supposedly his next fight would be in Dubai.

    I don't buy this on a few fronts.

    1. Robin Leach? Seriously? I understand he's the "Rich and Famous" guy but still....

    2. Dubai? Never happen. For one, the time difference makes it impossible to have the fight in prime time (aka the big money slot). Second he's made it known he won't fight outside Vegas for the remainder of his career.

    That said, if Don King is involved I can't really discount anything. I just don't see it though.

    As I said before it's a rumor so take it for whatever.

    bwahahahaha I forgot all about that. whoooooooooo I actually believe this could happen now. Remembering that, I can TOTALLY see Floyd doing that just as a fuck you to Arum. I can't stand Floyd, but if he pulled that off I'd have to give him credit.

    Interesting move. Not sure how big boxing is in the UAE.

    Dubai? That's fuckin' funny. Haven't we learned our lesson about that place already?

    Nice jean jacket Floyd. All you need is a BeDazzler, and you'll be all set. :bears:

    Any fight rumored to take place in Dubai ends up being complete bullshit. Usually just a tactic to get a US based casino to up their site fee offer.

    I wouldn't fault Floyd if he fought Khan.

    That would be a slaughter I'd love to see.
