Comments Thread For: Pacquaio's Adviser: Talks With Amir Khan Went Great

[jjsmyth87]

Khan is a south paw destroyer, but none that he faced were as good as Manny Pacquiao. Very interesting bout because we all know Khan's chin, but Amir has evolved a fair bit, does exceptional against south paws and has familiarity due to sparring Pacquiao. Then again Pac's combinations will find Khan's chin eventually, but the question is can Khan survive the onslaught after being hurt?

I don't think khan has enough power to KO pacman, and when pacman doesn't respect your power he goes for the kill and he will find khans chin and I'm sure the game plan will be to knock khan out which he most certainly will. Khan really does have the worst chin of any top welterweight, and even khan said himself he feels he has a better chance of beating mayweather than he does pacquiao. Hr would know because they spqrred each other for years. Even the big fat liar alex ariza said that Manny knocks amir out in sparring with 20 oz gloves and headgear, and there used to be a sparring video on YouTube where Manny had him out on his feet in sparring

Yes, it is true that Manny will never beat Floyd in the ring, because Floyd refuses to fight him. Manny will beat Floyd in history of being the greater fighter of the two when it is all said and done.

this is an acceptable early year consolation prize for pac floyd not happening.

pac is fighting a guy who beat the guy who was floyd's most recent opponent first.

very acceptable fight compared to jessie freaking vargas.

[SterlingStained]

getting khan to top rank would be a huge score for arum.

I hope this fight does happen, if no Pac vs May happens, but I do think it will be another hurdle with Al Haymon being Khan's advisor and all.

Floyd fighting cotto is a tougher better fight then pac fighting khan and will have more on the line with 3 belts in 3 different weight classes you just want pac to hand Floyd his first lost which is not going to happen pac will never beat Floyd

floyd doesn't think so. he seems more interested in fighting knee-guel 2x than fighting manny once (and for 3x the money too).

June 10, 2014:

By Chris Williams: Manny Pacquiao’s trainer Freddie Roach is complaining that Juan Manuel Marquez (56-7-1, 40 KO’s) is asking for $20 million for a fifth fight against Pacquiao in November, and that Marquez’s request is a show stopper. Roach says that a reasonable amount for Marquez to make for the fight is $10 million only, according to thesweetscience.com. But with Marquez asking for $20 million, it means that a fight can’t take place between them.

Pacquiao’s promoter Bob Arum recently said that Pacquiao will be getting around $30 million for his fights. If this is true, it means that there’s a potential $40 million pot of money that can be divided up for a 5th Pacquiao-Marquez fight. If you divide the money equally, then each fighter can walk away with $20 million, and Pacquiao would get his chance of trying to avenge his loss to Marquez.


Marquez received the short end of a 76/24 split in the last fight he had with Pacquiao in 2012, and that was a fight that brought in close to 1 million pay-per-view buys. Since then, Pacquiao has seen his PPV totals tank in fights against Brandon Rios and Tim Bradley, with neither fight bringing in even 900,000 PPV buys.

This means that Pacquiao absolutely needs Marquez to bring in the huge amount of buys unless Arum can get someone like Saul “Canelo” Alvarez for Pacquiao, which obviously isn’t going to happen because Canelo won’t agree to fight Pacquiao at a catch-weight like Roach and his personal adviser Michael Koncz wants. There won’t be a Pacquiao-Canelo fight, ever. Canelo is even bigger than WBC middleweight champion Miguel Cotto, and Pacquiao isn’t rushing in to face Cotto now due to him fighting at middleweight.

With Marquez wanting an equal split of the purse with Pacquiao this time around, Roach says that IBF/WBA light welterweight champion Danny Garcia would be a good option for Pacquiao. Arum would like Amir Khan for Pac, but Roach doesn’t like that option. He thinks Khan holds too much.

The reality here is unless Pacquiao gives Marquez what he’s asking for in terms of equal money, he’s not going to take the fight. Marquez brings in his Mexican fans for the PPV fights with Pacquiao, and it’s quite possible that the majority of the PPV buys for the Pacquiao-Marquez fights are actually fans of Marquez. That’s obviously why he’s asking for an equal split this time around instead of the 76-24 split the last time he fought Pacquiao.

Boxing should be hearing that Pacquiao-Mayweather talks went great.

Anyway, I think Pacquiao-Khan is way way better than Pacquiao-Vargas. Pacquiao hasn't had a KO lately so it would more than likely go to points with a Khan.

Could Manny outpoint Khan? It would be tough due to Khans hand speed.

I agree but for some reason Koncz wont let Manny meet Floyd , I think Koncz is worried about what Floyd might tell him .

[Cinci Champ]

why the **** is he talking to khan when the negotiations for mayweather are still ongoing why do people let this **** slide

[Cinci Champ]

i honestly find the bias here ridiculous if floyd were to have this article while negotiations were not cancelled yet people would be losing it but manny does it with his crooked **** manager and everyone is on board the negotiations are still ongoing people
