There are loads of Filipinos in Saudi Arabia. I'm not sure many of them can afford to buy tickets to a big fight.
Khan did this before with Pacquiao. Why not just wait until both parties are ready to announce it. Dude is a clown.
He's always jumping the gun. Like that time he told everyone he was being cuckolded by that big stud AJ. AJ was like, "???? but we haven't been introduced yet ..."
If Pac is sensible he'll go for this regardless of what happens against Thurman. A huge, massive payday for an easy fight and then he can retire if he wants. Amir apparently has a big fanbase in Saudi, they could fill a stadium and have the first 4 rows filled up with oil sheikh royalty.
To be fair, Pac's team are hardly going to be talking about this in fight week. It's highly likely to happen, even if it isn't already signed off. A good pension pot day for both, it will be a good fight, so I don't see why anyone would have a problem with it. As some people have pointed out, Khan has been very smart, got the interest fighting Dibb or whoever it was supposed to be, then cash in on that. Spot on.
Then Danny 'Montana' Garcia can have a rematch with Thurman and send us to sleep again. It will probably happen in 2021 as Thurman will need the whole of 2020 off.
