Floyd Mayweather Jr. wants to fight Amir Khan, not Manny Pacquiao, he said this week after his father claimed that a Mayweather vs Pacquiao bout is “definitely going to happen.”

The Mayweather-Pacquiao fight has long been rumored abut still hasn’t happened, but Mayweather Sr. sounded confident that the fight will take place.

“That fight’s gonna happen. Trust me. That fight’s definitely gonna happen,” he emphasized to Fight Hype.

“It’s a fight for the world, man, right there. It’s the biggest fight that has ever been in life, so like I said man, that fight’s gonna happen. I’ma tell you right now, he never told me the fight’s gonna happen, but I’ma tell you, the fight’s gonna happen. You mark my words and we'll see.”

But Mayweather Jr., also known as “Money,” says that his dad is mistaken.

“Well my father is totally wrong,” he told Fight Hype on Thursday.
