It's a decent fight. Not as good as it would've been a few years back but still a solid contest that will obviously do big numbers wherever the hold it.

I have to say I begrudge that fuckin prick Khan a fight of this magnitude though. I see why he's an attractive option to guys like Pac but I still hope he's left on the scrap heap again.

It might actually be a better fight purely because Pacquiao is fading, unable to knock opponents out and reluctant to combination punch.

I see this ending a 115-112* type fight and I don't think it'll be dull either



*edit- to Pacquiao

Same as I said when this date was mentioned as a potential for Brook v Spence, its the league one playoff final that day you'd be an idiot to have the potential risk of using this date when half of your town could potentially be in London/traveling back from London. Surely makes most sense to have it a week or two later.

Still reckon manny KOs Khan. You're right though I'd be surprised if it was anything other than entertaining

[Floyd the snake]

Sanctioned by the BIBA i wonder ?

It's interesting, because Khan has one of the most suspect chins in the sport and Pacquiao hasn't knocked anyone out in the best part of a decade

Khan may be wobbly but it's always been punchers that have stopped him

True. You have to think that if Pac get him going the way Limond, Gomez, Diaz did then you'd fancy him to close the show. In saying that he had Algieri down numerous times and couldn't get him outta there. Algieri is a hell of a lot tougher than Amir though. Interesting indeed.

Being a spiteful prick though I still hope Manny blanks him lol.

[Ruthless-RKO]

FIGHT IS NOT HAPPENING ACCORDING TO ARUM.

[BigDoofus]

As one of his Brook-ducking excuses, Khan claimed he needed an April warm-up. Will he also demand 70-30 as he has to pay Haymon?

[BigDoofus]

Bullsh1t according to Arum:

Won't happen in UK


Khan will have a massive fight in America against a tomatoe can that 50 people will watch

[handsofstone]

I imagine Khan will get the Peterson rematch I'm a bid to become a 2 weight "world" champ

[Tuan_Jim]

Would Khan really want to go in with M. Pacman after such a violent knockout? I'd have thought another Algieri type would be safer.

Pac while not the KO machine he once was still scores plenty of heavy knockdowns, and Khan is the most fragile name in all divisions. I'd expect another chilling loss for the Bolton lad.

[TheLeprechaun]

I'm not sure why Pacquiao and his team don't try to make the McGregor fight, instead of going after the Horns and Khans

Theres a lot of money in it and both of them would piss Floyd off, which im sure would give them added joy

[jamesmcdonnell]

It's a decent fight, it could happen.

How many more options does Pacman have left now, he's knocking on, he's not getting the mayweather fight now, as interest has now gone and Mayweather is only really going to come back if something really piques his interest.

Me too, he'd get spanked the minute Pacman landed flush with one of those hooks.
