British star Amir Khan (30-3, 19KOs) is still waiting for an answer after handing WBC/WBA welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. a five day deadline to present him with an answer for a potential fight on May 2nd.
There are very serious discussions taking place to make a fight between Mayweather and Pacquiao, also for May 2nd. While reports are suggesting a deal is close, Khan doubts the fight will happen.
Khan told Gulf News: “That fight hasn’t happened for such a long time, so why would it happen now? There’s too many advisers involved and they will never agree."
If a deal does get done, Khan feels he can target former champions Timothy Bradley and Juan Manuel Marquez.
“I’m in a great position where I can go for Bradley or Marquez, so I’m OK,” Khan said. “But it won’t be the goal for me, I want the big one that will give the crowd the fight they want to see, it’s just a waiting game at the moment so lets wait and see. Hopefully in the next few days, we should know.”
