Pretty funny. Floyd is just using Khan to help his PPV numbers not flop like the Guerrero fight.

Dude let's not get reality twisted (seems to always happen when guys start talkin about Khans imaginary accomplishments) ... Floyd needs Khan as much as he needs a case of Hep-B

Mayweather-Guerrero sold 870K PPV buys and is considered a flop for Floyd?!?!?

Canelo vs Angulo sold 350,000 PPV and is being hailed as a great success by GBP and Showtime!!!!

Khan has yet to prove he can stimulate PPV numbers in the US and I don't know how well he did in the UK. But one things for certain, Khan is by-far still the beggar here and I don't see Showtime|HBO or anyone else trying to get Khan to sign multimillion dollar fight contracts.

Khan acts like everything he does is so important. I checked where boxrec ranks some possible Khan opponents. The guy Khan is fighting, Collazo is ranked 21st in the world. Devon Alexander, who Khan could have already fought is ranked 10th in the world even after his loss to Porter and was probably in the top 5 welterweights before the loss. Brook, who tries so hard to get a fight with Khan is ranked 6th in the world. How does beating the 21st ranked welterweight make Khan a standout choice to be Mayweather's September opponent if he wins the fight?

Has Khan been under a rock. Floyd is a god in the UK. Dumb ass.

Did you read the article? He didn't mention the UK.

Dumb ass

And Floyd isn't a god over here.. lol

In all honestly, Khan is probably the 3rd most known boxer in the world too

If this was Crickett Khan would have a point with Floyd needing the India and Pakistan market as far as boxing it's useless and he's fine without it. As far as Dubai goes they just got there 1st all action channel of boxing and MMA and interestling so all the commercials for it was of the Floyd Mayweather vs Canelo fight no Khan sightings anywhere.

Khan is trolling us.

Either that, or the long term effects of that no look Garcia hook are starting to surface. Khan is a funny dude.

Amir Khan has told Floyd Mayweather he will never be a global star - unless he fights him.

Khan, who today announced he will face Luis Collazo on May 3, says Mayweather phoned to promise him they will fight after snubbing him for Marcos Maidana.

And the former WBA and IBF light-welterweight champ claims the American will never crack the lucrative Asian market without him.

Khan said: “If Mayweather wants to be a global star, *especially hitting an area he’s never hit before like Dubai UAE, Pakistan, India, then he has to take that fight with me.

“In India the population is a billion plus, Pakistan 300 million. So if Mayweather wants to target these areas, he has to fight someone who is known in these areas.

“He rang me just after the Maidana fight was announced and said the fight didn’t happen, but not to be disappointed, it wasn’t meant to be this time.

“He said we both know it is going to make us a lot of money in the future, so as long as I keep winning, the fight will happen.”
