Floyd Mayweather On Amir Khan: ‘Sorry It's Not You, But Here’s Some Free Tickets To My Fight’

Everyone rejoiced when news of Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao will finally clash on May 2. But indeed, you can't please everyone as Amir Khan is not too thrilled about the news.

The third wheel of the Mayweather vs. Pacquiao fight really thought that there was no chance of this fight happening, wherein, he said:

"I can't really see that fight from happening, there is too much politics with that fight. There's different promotions teams and different management teams - I don't think they will let that fight happen."

But it is on thus the boxer vent out his thoughts to the media and said that Pacquiao-Mayweather might turn out boring, going as far as saying that Mayweather took a shortcut in Pacquiao.

Upon hearing the news, Mayweather responded to the British boxer's comments:

"I am touched that Amir is concerned about the fight and that it might be boring for the fans. 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," Mayweather told Daily Mail.

"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."

Money also said that he understands Khan wanting to secure a huge fight for himself, but people just don't want to see him on May 2.

"Of course he wanted to fight me, of course he wanted to fight Manny, I get that, I really do. The reality is that this is only fight the public were demanding and we had no choice but to give it to them," said Mayweather.

"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."
