    The fight is in Dubai. Expect Manny to be hitting like it's 2010.

    This will be a huge pay day for both men. Khan has got very lucky.

    And left hooks and over hand rights and straight rights
    Manny's footwork > khans
    Manny's stamina > khans
    Pimping out his brain cells aint going to make him clever rich yes clever no

    Where is the logic? One defeat for AJ isn't suddenly going to see him fall into insignificance. History shows many a UK fighter losing and coming back just as popular.

    AJ will still be selling out arenas and doing huge ppv numbers regardless of what happens v Wlad.

    What would hurt AJ more than a loss is if the fight was an absolute borefest like Wlad v Fury.

    Also how can you say AJ won't be so popular if he loses to Wlad yet Amir Khan is still popular after getting brutally koed v Canelo?

    Don't really see how that makes sense. Shouldn't that loss to Canelo meant the end after numerous losses yet AJ losing once would see Khan be more popular with one win?

    Correct me if I'm wrong didn't you say Khan will beat Canelo?

    Khan's loses simply because he has no IQ and will fall into a left hook.

    He will start fast as usual but from 4 onwards he will slow down and Pacquiao will start landing 1-2's and Khan will end up trying to trade back and then get knocked out.

    This is what you said about Khan at 147:

    So is Khan a WW or not? You haven't mentioned how Khan fighting at 147 vs Pacquiao will hurt him?

    Interesting match up, I'm not sure who will win this. I haven't watched Pacquiao's recent fights but as of right now I favour Manny.

    Fair play to Khan he keeps getting the fights. Brook will probably still fight him after this too.

    I also think khan is a 154 fighter
    Its just he holds not one advantage at that weight against anyone
    He stated he as to boil right down for 140 and boil down to get at 147
    If he stayed in shape all year round I truely believe he would be 154 but there is no money there and a shyte load of risk
    I also think the same of brook
    Brook khgan are more or less the same size and build kell s!ighty better built but not massively better

    IF AJ loses to Wlad no doubt he will still be popular but 50% of the hangers on will write him off and the giant Myth will be gone. Not saying Khan will be the best he would probs have the biggest profile with a win over Manny as everyone tom/dick and harry knows who he is. Rightly or wrongly he will be the main man (for an average casual) should he beat manny and AJ lose to Wlad (as Wlad already been dusted by fury so hed lose a lot of recognition and the fact wlad is 41)

    Fight will be in Dubai. Both men will split a huge purse and be laughing all the way to the bank. Think part-time Pacquiao wins handily on the cards

    Looking on Twitter, Eddie is pretty adamant that the fight won't happen this April as announced by the fighters. 8 weeks to go, no venue confirmed and all that they have agreed upon is the deal - the money still has to come from somewhere, I.e. Dubai. If a venue isn't announced within two weeks you can pretty much guarantee that it won't happen.

    If it's in Dubai then it's more likely to be a UK PPV than if it was in the States. Possibly on Boxnation or ITV.

    It will never be in the UAE, there hasn't been a major fight there for a reason. It's one of their (Koncz/Arums) negotiating tactics to get money they want from Texas or Vegas so Pacman can save on taxes. I reckon it sells out Wembley, or close to.

    if Khan fought at 154 he would get folded up like a deck chair in every single fight....

    If he could he would boil down to Featherweight because that is the only way he can take a punch...EVERYONE who has landed any kind of punch on him has sat him on his hole or had him doing the funky chicken dance!!

    Pac has no punch power for years and is and will never be a Welterweight,perfect for Khan...If a 38 year old without a KO for 8 years flattens Khan i will laugh for at least an hour solid

    Hear you man but khan as the height reach and frame of an average 154 fighter and I agree he gets folded off all up there
    He started off in a division he starved himself to be in for a reason
    He as been in three weight classes and only won two straps in one said division with ultyultyimate backing and world class facilities and trainers and s+c coaches
    Imagine where he would be at if he had the path let's say eggington , the walshes of this world had to take

    It won't be the UK. Also, Matchroom are doing a show in Liverpool on the 22nd April.

    If this fight happens then I'll be really looking forward to it. I think even at this stage of his career, Manny is a dangerous fighter. He might not have sparked anyone for 8 years but I'll never forget him hitting Hatton that hard, his great grandfather fell over in the street in 1930.

    Manny to win.
