Comments Thread For: Pacquiao is Not Convinced Khan Really Wants To Fight

[GhostofDempsey]

Haha, Pac won't make money fighting anyone else but him? If he can get the likes of Broner, Porter, Loma, Thurman, M. Garcia, or steal the fight with Brook, he'll be looking at another 8-digit payday easy. If not in December then definitely by April/May. Khan doesn't want any of Brook, and if he thinks he is worth 50% of the purse versus Pac his brains must have turned into oatmeal.

Probably. But I think Pacquiao can do the same. Khan's a great fighter but his chin fails him. But you have to wonder. If Khan knows that Pacquiao also has the power to knock him out as does Brook, why is he more reluctant to face Brook over Pacquiao? Could it be that since they're countrymen a loss to Brook would hurt him more than a Pacquiao loss?

I'm not saying Khan is actively pursuing Pacquiao thinking that he's going to lose by knockout. But, why does he avoid Brook so much? You know what I mean?

I personally think that he likes his chances vs. Pacquiao more. Brook is his size and Manny is smaller and as far as one punch power, I'd have to say Brook is the harder puncher. Khan is not just looking at money because if he was, he'd be taking the Brook fight which is huge in the UK.

Yeah, Manny is right. Khan wasn't talking about the money before.
What changed? He even uses Brook's name, who he probably would never fight, to get a better deal with Pac.
But this is typical in any initial negotiation.
Look at Porter. He wants the Spence fight on PPV.
Wilder turned down the AJ fight for an amount 8x his average purse.

Wilder offered 50million, called him out also so many times, i think joshua wins, but you cant buy balls
