“He’s just promoting the fight,” dismissed Khan. “At the end of the day, I’m the the one who’s signed the contract. I’ve already signed my part of the contract.”
Khan has been long rumored as the next opponent for Mayweather but the names of Marcos Maidana and Manny Pacquiao have joined the discussion after their big wins over Adrien Broner and Brandon Rios. Mayweather is expected to announce his May opponent in January.
“Floyd hasn’t signed the contract. If he wants the fight then come on and get it. I’ll fight Floyd anytime. I’ve said it so many times, styles make fights,” explained Khan. “If he wants to fight a slow-handed, slow-footed guy like Maidana then he’s more than welcome.” Khan defeated Maidana in 2010 for the WBA light welterweight title.
“Floyd has never fought the best guys in the era. He hasn’t faced the guys who are in their prime. If he wants to face someone I’ve beaten to look good then so be it. The ball is in his court.”
