    Did anyone hear this last night on the sky sports commentary?

    They mentioned there was talk from his camp that his next fight could be over here or words similar to that, can anyone else confirm I didn't imagine it?

    He already ducked Matthew Hatton to fight that OAP last night, he'll probably just duck him again and fight a blown up flyweight in Pacquiao.

    I heard that, too. Dissapointing that they didn't say another word about it. Maybe they did after the fight, but I was so tired and pissed the room was spinning around.

    It will be Amir Khan if he wins....i can really see that happening. He is the only credible-ish fighter who would be a good enough dance partner to sell loads and loads of tickets.

    Is Colin Jones available?

    Or Loyd Honeyghan?

    Or will he fight the Magic Man?

    I think he could fight someone non-English over here & get a full house & do big numbers on tv tbh, even if part of it is for the 'novelty' (for lack of a better word) effect of seeing Mayweather over here.

    i heard he was just coming to england, i didn't hear them mentioning he was actually fighting in england. i hope he does. he'll have a bigger fanbase in england as us brits support boxers better than americans.

    if he fought over here id probably go watch depending on whos across from him,but if he did fight here i fear it'd be a warm up type fight with a severely overmatched opponent like khan,m hatton or brook.

    Thanks for confirming it, I didn't pick it up on the replay this morning so I wasn't sure.

    He's expressed in the past his interest in fighting over here and held a sparring session in London if I remember correctly, I don't think it would have to be a UK fighter either to sell out Wembley as he's such a huge draw.

    I doubt he'll be fighting his next fight in the UK. He'll probably just take a holiday over there because he likes the fat, orange English girls.

    Khan is a goldenboy fighter,

    Mayweather has connections with goldenboy, maybe they put PBF with Khan, to promote Khan on a 24/7 for the US public and then Khan gets KTFO
