Fight is signed but Manny has Thurman on his plate first. Should he beat Thurman. Khan and Manny will fight for a world title or Thurman could invoke a rematch clause.

Bout expected to take place in Saudi Arabia later in the year with big purses on offer.

Not really sure how Khan lands these fights anymore. Years ago this would be a mismatch but I'll see who I back after Pacquiao fights Thurman. If Pacquiao can't get the power shots off like he used to then he may end up looking like an old man in there with Khan. If Pacquiao looks quick and hits well then I can't really see why Khan would take the fight other than money.

The wildcard and reasoning of course is sparring. They've both sparred each other for years and if Khan wants to take a bout for real then he must actually have the confidence.
