Why is Khan really chasing a Pacman fight?

    I'm a fan of Khan but I honestly think he loses to pacman. A lot of people ride pacqio off but the guy can fight and punch.

    Because he is truly a bum with a huge fanbase who got ether-ed by Danny Garcia and has not mentally recovered since.
    He wants a big name to beat him so that he feels better about being a loser who gets beat by prime fighters everytime he fights one.
    His record speaks for itself. He fights a faded guy he looks good, he fights a young prime fighter he loses or looks terrible. Khan is a c class fighter with European backing.

    It amazes me how Khan's fanbase thinks he's a master boxer.

    He's b-level at best.

    Khan wants to cash out, he knows he cant keep fighting feather fisted WWs forever, so what better way to cash out then fighting the Pacman.

    The first one is the only one you got right. Record and toe 2 toe is not what Khan cares about or wants. He could go toe 2 toe with anybody and get hurt look at his last fight to see for yourself.

    The money is all that matters to Khan he has not fought for a belt since losing his despite being given chances by Brook and Thurman.
    I think Khan's ego and his family being his management has stunned his growth in boxing.

    Money pure and simple, what ambition he had before was knocked out of him by Garcia, he's just chasing a payday now to retire on.

    He's hardly going to retire at 28 is he?

    He's already rich. Dangerous fight for Khan. Pacquiao will probably KO him.

    I think Khan is going to decline as rapidly as RJJ did when he hits 30, and his speed fades.

    Him and Broner make the same money fighting. Khan ain't that rich. Hell berto just made in 1 fight what Khan has fought for for the last 5 years.

    Khan wants to buy a new lamborghini for his wife and a new house. So he chases pac for a big payday.

    ...that and in his mind, if he "beats" pac, he thinks he has a shot at another payday with Mayweather.

    Because the other option would be Kell Brook who Amir fears and rightfully so.
