Manny Pacquiao’s promoter Bob Arum has confirmed that talks between his Top Rank outfit and Amir Khan’s own promotional team – including the Brit’s lawyer Robert Davis – are underway for a 2016 fight between the two former Wild Card stablemates.
Arum stated last week that Pacquiao was due to have a scan in the Philippines on the shoulder he injured in May’s mega-clash with Floyd Mayweather, with the results due to be sent to Dr. Neal ElAttrache in the US – the man who performed the surgery on the Filipino star in the aftermath of the fight – however Pacquiao himself has been insistent for some weeks now that the shoulder is ‘fine,’ dubiously claiming he had been healed by the power of God as well as immersing the shoulder in saltwater while swimming in the sea.
