By Scott Gilfoid: With Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao both getting older and nearing retirement, Britain’s Amir Khan (30-3, 19 KOs) is starting to worry that he’s running out of time to get a fight against both of them. Khan, 28, wants to be the one that gives Mayweather his first loss of his career, and he also would like to face Pacquiao before he retires.
Those two stars are facing each other on May 2nd, and will both be getting a bundle of cash for that fight. The kind of money that Mayweather and Pacquiao will be getting for their mega-fight in Las Vegas, Nevada is going to make it very, very hard for them to want to take a tremendous pay cut to fight someone like Khan, who doesn’t have the fan base in the United States that they do, and who doesn’t bring much to the table other than an ability to self-promote.
