Amir Khan has no interest in a domestic dust-up with IBF welterweight champion Kell Brook as he looks to land a fight with pound-for-pound superstars Floyd Mayweather or Manny Pacquiao next year. Khan believes he is a level above Brook and would prefer to be matched against the two biggest fighters in the sport.
“I’m not really interested in the Kell Brook fight,” Khan said. “I’m looking at the biggest names in boxing. Floyd Mayweather, Manny Pacquiao, I think that’s where I belong. If the fight doesn’t happen with Floyd then maybe Manny Pacquiao is another option.”
But Mayweather argues that Khan is not a big enough "name" to make a pay-per-view fight happen.
Khan argues back, saying his name brings more value than three of Mayweather's past four opponents - Marcos Maidana, Victor Ortiz and Robert Guerrero.
“I want the fight, but is Floyd going to take the fight? Is Floyd going to give me that chance? That’s something we’re all waiting to hear from Floyd Mayweather," Khan said.
"Mayweather says I’m not a big enough name but I am a bigger name than his opponents Maidana, Guerrero and Victor Ortiz put together."
