Daily Mail claims it's on, but Bob Arum calls bullsquirt: http://www.***********.com/arum-calls-bullsht-on-report-pacquiao-khan-deal--97709 (off scene) "my phone is ringing off the hook because this lunatic made some sh*t up"!!!
Normally I want British fighters to get opportunities even if they haven't really strictly earned them. But Khan is something else. One fight the whole of the year--against Chris Algieri--and he is in the running to get Manny Pacquiao? I wouldn't have a problem with Chris Algieri as a level of opponent if that was one opponent out of three in a year. But just Chris Algieri the whole of the year, while calling out the biggest names in the sport!?
Khan once again embarrassing himself trying to force a fight that isn't close to being agreed. Arum is fuming, Pacquiao can't be overly impressed and Khan makes himself look a d*** again. Who remembers Khan announcing the Mayweather fight on his wife's YouTube channel and then having to take the video down and once again looking a d***. Apparently if Pacquiao doesn't happen then it's Garcia in January, now here we go again just assuming he can give Garcia a call as a back up Regardless what you think of Garcia he is a world champion, unbeaten and has already punched Khan senseless but Khan's arrogance once again makes him believe he calls the shots. So whatever happens Khan isn't fighting until next year, Khan waited two years for a Mayweather fight that never happened and now he is inactive waiting for a possible Pacquiao fight.
I'd definitely watch Garcia vs Khan. I don't care for Pacquiao vs Khan as much for some reason. I could see there being ENDLESS friggin glove taps in that one. No thanks.
If there's one fighter who doesn't deserve a big payday it's Khan, the guy has talked himself out of one with his constant moaning and egotistical bullsh*t personality. I use to like Khan but for those reason alone I'll cheer every fighter he fights ( which hasn't been many over the last few years ) to victory. Just lace up some leather and fight some top fighters Khan and earn your shot.
