Manny Pacquiao tells Amir Khan:
I'll fight you if Floyd Mayweather won't face me
RING king Manny Pacquiao has told Bolton’s Amir Khan “I’ll fight you if Floyd Mayweather Jr is afraid to face me”.
The former sparring partners met at London’s famous Fitzroy Lodge Boxing Club and had a chat about a possible fight this summer.
Pacquiao – who also had dinner with Prince Harry on Thursday night – has agreed to face Mayweather on May 2, but the American has yet to put pen to paper on a contract.
The Filipino puncher is growing increasingly frustrated by Mayweather’s delaying tactics on the super fight which was due to be held in Las Vegas.
He has now started considering other options including facing Khan at Wembley Stadium or in America, most likely Las Vegas.
Abu Dhabi was also mooted as a possible venue by the British fighter although that is not believed to be a feasible option at this time.
The pair posed for pictures in London after Khan arrived at the famous gym in a Rolls Royce and dressed in an extravagant suit.
They had a brief chat and renewed their friendship after ******* Freddie Roach’s gym in LA for a number of years before Khan left to team up with California-based trainer Virgil Hunter.
Bolton's Khan, 28, also wanted to face Mayweather, but the American faced Marcos Maidana last May when he looked like he would face the Brit.
He hoped back-to-back wins over tough welterweights Luis Collazo and Devon Alexander in 2014 would secure the money-spinning clash .
But Khan has been left frustrated again this year with Pacquiao apparently set to step in for the fight that the sport has been waiting on for more than six years.
Pacquiao, 36, has won world titles in eight different divisions and although he is past his peak, boxing fans were keen to see him face Mayweather.
He agreed to all the demands put forward by the undefeated American’s team.
But he is still waiting on Mayweather to sign his contract as talk of a rematch between the pound-for-pound king and Miguel Cotto grows.
For any fight to take place between Khan and Pacquiao it would take discussions between the Brit’s adviser Al Haymon and Top Rank promoter Bob Arum, who looks after the Filipino ring king.

RépondreSupprimerOT:Last May 2 Manny did fine. He still fought and he never gave up. He is just stating that was bothering him which is his injured shoulder. He isn't being a complainer. He is fighter of the decade and still champ. Official Manny Pacquiao Website
