Khan: Mayweather-Pacquiao Could Be a Real Snoozer

By Edward Chaykovsky

Styles makes fights, and British star Amir Khan believes Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Manny Pacquiao could end up being a "boring" fight. The fight is almost a certainty to take place on May 2nd from the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. The fight was first being negotiated back in 2009 and the terms have finally been agreed upon, according to multiple sources with direct knowledge of the negotiations.

Khan, who made attempts to face both fighters, once again missed the boat with getting Mayweather. He feels the fight would have been a lot more exciting several years ago and now the action might be lacking - especially if Mayweather sticks to his usual style of defensive boxing.

"I think it will be a good fight for a couple of rounds," Khan told Daily Mail. "It could be a boring fight if both of them try to box each other. Some people have such high hopes for the fight but it could be boring. I don't think Manny would try to make it boring but Mayweather would. Four or five years ago it would have been a bigger fight than it is now, it won't be as exciting."

Khan is also expected to return in May, in the United States, against an opponent to be determined. He says his adviser, Al Haymon, will work out the details and the opponent.
