    Pacquiao is Officially Ducking Khan

    I don't want to be that guy, and I don't think many fighters duck other fighters, but at this point no one can deny that either Manny Pacquiao and/or Freddie Roach is ducking a fight with Amir Khan.

    Amir Khan has stated numerous times he wants the fight. De La Hoya offered it to Khan and wanted to make it, Arum said he was interested, only person that said he didn't want the fight was Roach and it looks like it won't happen.

    I think Pacquiao would beat Khan but Khan was the best possible opponent out there for him. Most people were interested in seeing this fight happen. The date worked out perfectly for both and Pacquiao goes off and chooses to fighter Algieri. This makes it blatantly obvious that Roach is afraid to put Pacquiao in the ring with Khan at this point, no doubt about it.

    Khan is managed by Al Haymon who Arum refuses to work with.

        Not true at all, he was interested in moving forward and trying to make it happen. Someone held it back, obviously Roach or Pacquiao's management who wanted an easier fight for Pac.

        Manny Pacquiao’s promoter is open to discussing a Pacquiao-Amir Khan showdown if Khan can prove that his contract doesn’t contain clauses that’d prohibit him from facing Pacquiao. Bob Arum told BoxingScene.com he’ll “absolutely investigate it,” yet also is skeptical that a Pacquiao-Khan fight is a realistic possibility for Nov. 22, when Pacquiao is scheduled to return to the ring in Macau, China. A WBO welterweight title bout between Pacquiao, the title-holder, and Khan likely would do big business on HBO Pay-Per-View because, among other things, Khan was once guided by Pacquiao’s trainer, Freddie Roach.

          Kahn has literally talked his way into the big leagues. Has been brutally destroyed numerous times. Hasn't won a meaningful fight in several years - but yaps yaps away into the forefront of people's mind and to believing that his average self is the best opponent for Mayweather and Pacquiao.

          I gotta say - it's impressive

            You are wrong. I'm all for Khan vs Pac but unfortunately Pac's stubborn promoter doesn't do business with Al Haymon, whom Khan is managed by.

              Because Algieri has beaten tons of great opponents and is a better option for Pacquiao than Khan, right? Lol.

                  I guess you are asking me to take your word over his? Lol pretty sure Arum probably knows who Arum is willing to do business with better than you know who Arum is willing to do business with.

                    Are you ******ed? What is a legal option? That doesn't even make any sense. Do you mean legal issues? Because there are none, aside from an employment dispute with one individual. They had an employee who left their company, that has absolutely no legal effect on any other contract the company has entered into. You have no idea what you're talking about.
