By Jeff Powell Follow @@jeffpowell_Mail The fighter for whom Amir Khan was so unceremoniously dumped by Floyd Mayweather believes his elevation to next month’s Money fight has spared the boxing public a night of expensive tedium. Marcos Maidana, not content with having gate-crashed Khan’s party, has added insult to the Englishman’s wounded pride by saying: ‘If Amir had got this fight it would have been very boring.’ Since the one thing Khan has never been accused of is being unexciting, that requires explanation. When pressed Maidana adds: ‘Both he and Mayweather are pure boxers. So, unlike me, neither of them would go on the attack.’
