Pacquiao vs Khan a done deal, announcement imminent!

[tokon]

I dont see how Manny's guarantee is "unrealistic"? Manny's been getting $20mil and some change for a while now. This being his last fight maybe it's a final pay day type thing. $28mil is not far from low $20s that Manny has been getting.

Fair point, I was just surprised at the figures - for both sides tbh.

Prior to Mayweather, Manny's PPV figures had fallen and his showing in his last fight didn't make me think he'd get that sort of guarantee.

If true I'm a little surprised by the catchweight. I mean, if it was versus Crawford I could have defended it but this is a clear power play. I don't think Khan will have trouble making the weight and don't imagine that he will be drained, but it is still a weak move for Pacquiao to make this request of another 147lber in a fight that may very well be for one of Mayweather's belts. (This is all based on the reasonable assumption that the weight was per Team Pac's request.)

yea if its for a belt i'll be disappointed. If its not, i dont particularly mind a cw....but for two 147lbs it seems kinda silly on pacs part.

I hope this isn't real...MUCH prefer Crawford... Khan has no chance... waste of time...

Wouldnt that mean its the first fight in the new arena. I doubt it.

I see bob keeping it in house .

Khan gets his number 2 dream fight. Go show what you can do kid!!

[Caught Square]

Khan said no catchweights under 147 and I think he is making a big mistake if he goes back on his word. He's a full fledged welter now those 2 lbs would hurt.

If true I hope PAC irons him out.
Khans talked too much ****e bout PAC when PAC was good to him

[Trinidad_Fan]

Does Arum know about it this time?

[No-mas-tias]

If they're going to guarantee Pacquiao that much money TR is going to lose a lot of money. Manny is no longer a PPV star, people know he's way past his prime.
