"Amir Khan-Manny Pacquiao's proposed UAE fight 'dead' - promoter Bob Arum"

Britain's Amir Khan will not fight WBO world welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao next month, the Filipino's promoter, Bob Arum, has revealed.

"I'm talking about another proposal for another fight, not Khan. Khan won't be Manny's next opponent."

Pacquiao is likely to face another opponent in June or July with Australia's Jeff Horn among the possible contenders for his welterweight world title.

Arum also told the Los Angeles Times that the $38m (£31.1m) offer for the bout had failed to materialise and that the duo could not face each other until the second half of 2017, under revised terms.

Thoughts?

Arum doesn't like the match up.. It's like he wants to call the shots and has been so adamant that Pacman fights Horn next.. Even before Pac and Khan tweeted it, he said it will not happen then either..

the uae investmant group wasnt clear at all. there was never realy a deal behind it, was more fantasy boxing, than reality.

They holding out for November apparently.. But I think we all know Pacman isn't interested in Horn

the thing is with those big numbers from china or ae is that often there arent true at all. but throw out there. if there is a legit 38 million offer, than believe me, everybody from boxers to managers and promoters would do everything they can to get the bout finalize. the australien bout brings 0 cash compared to 38, thats for sure and horn, who is this guy? bob is stupid for even thinking puting an atg against un unknown guy
