    Ah are you still falling for this stuff? Arum has been talking about a fight in Dubai since 2000 and it hasn't happened. It is a fairy tale. Don't be an idiot and listen to that lying fool.

    I can't pick, we need to wait until the post-fight presser for Pacquiao to reveal any injuries.

    Lol thanks for the harsh yet caring way of warning me :D Of course I wouldn't take what Arum said at face value hence why I asked if you think the fight will happen?

    Personally I think Khan wouldn't unless the money was great.

    This Dubai nonsense has been mentioned since 2009 and every year we get a pointless reminder of an imaginary fight in Dubai. The only time this will seriously happen is when Pacquiao and Khan are completely finished and are looking for a quick payday/exhibition overseas. Dubai can't host anything but musical events and other sissy nonsense, the last time they hosted a Championship quality match it was dubbed an absolute embarrassment.

    I think Arum is reminding again because he wants to build on the Mayweather vs Pacquiao hype. The injury probably means this goes back to being on the backburner and we'll here about this in a year's time again :D

    Still, Arum probably want to try and get one up on people and may think this Dubai nonsense will do so :D

    Well Pacquiao isn't fighting anytime soon so it's not like this could realistically happen until 2016. And there's (at least) a chance that Floyd Pacquiao 2 could happen in May 2016 after Manny is recovered from injury. It would seem that with Ramadan being earlier this year Khan could possibly fight in September and has expressed interest in fighting Floyd.

    If that doesn't happen, and if Floyd Pacquiao 2 doesn't happen in May 2016, then Khan Pacquiao could be a possibility. It really depends on Manny's injury and when Floyd decides to hang up his gloves.

    This would be a good tune up fight for Pacman. Needs to take challenging fights before the big rematch.

    If all the fights that were rumored to be taking place in Dubai were ever held, Mayweather and Pacquiao, not to mention Lennox Lewis and Vitali Klitschko, would've fought each other a half-dozen times, Roy Jones would've faced a murderer's row of heavyweights after unifying the light heavyweight title against Dariusz Michaelczewski, David Haye and Mike Tyson would have 20 more wins ... Dubai is code for "just kidding."
