After the fight in an exclusive post fight interview with Boxingscene, Amir Khan wanted to thank the Filipinos and boxer Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao for all the support and congratulate Manny for winning the election. Khan and Pacquiao have sparred in the past and both are good friends. Many Filipinos wanted Khan to shut Paulie Malignaggi’s mouth for talking trash about Pacquiao and accusing him of steroid usage and rooted for Khan in the fight.
“Please tell Manny congratulations for winning a seat in congress and thank all the Filipinos for their support. I am sure they are all happy with the performance.” said Khan
Freddie Roach who trains both Amir Khan and Manny Pacquiao said he wants Pacquiao to fight Floyd Mayweather Jr. and believes Pacquiao will be the first to stop the egotistical champion.
