Who would not want Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs Manny Pacquiao fight tickets?
Probably no one. But if you are Amir Khan, seeing this fight live might be a little awkward, especially after branding it as "boring." Days before Floyd confirmed that his highly anticipated fight with the former pound for pound king is going to happen, the British boxer and former Pacquiao sparring mate told media this fight is overhyped and should have happened four to five years ago.
This words by Khan reached Mayweather and refute the British fighters' claim will be exactly the opposite once the fight day comes. The undefeated American boxer even offered Khan tickets for him to see the Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs Manny Pacquiao bout in the flesh.
"I am touched that Amir is concerned about the fight, and that it might be boring for the fans," Mayweather said in a report by the Daily Mail. "He doesn't need to worry, the fact this has taken so long to happen only makes the anticipation and build up of the fight that much greater."
Adding, "I can even get him a ticket if he wants - so he can see what the biggest fight in the history of boxing looks like - and to appease any fears he might have about a boring fight."
Pretty Boy acknowledged Khan's desire to fight him but he insisted that Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs Manny Pacquiao fight is what history wants and there's no one can stop it.
"The world was not calling for Mayweather vs Khan or Pacquiao vs Khan. He knows that, he is a smart kid. He knows this fight had to happen," Mayweather quipped.
"He (Amir) is a good fighter, I've got a lot of time for what he does in the ring. He is going to get big fights I am sure of that, but nothing or nobody was going to stand in the way of this fight - we are going to make history."
Although not convinced of the hype, Khan admitted that he is a fan of the two. So, if you are Khan, will you accept the tickets for Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs Manny Pacquiao fight on May 2 at the MGM Grand Arena?
