Amir Khan turned down a fight with Manny Pacquiao earlier this year, according to Bob Arum, one of boxing's foremost promoters.
Khan is pursuing some of the biggest match-ups in the world in 2015 if he can defeat Devon Alexander in a WBC silver welterweight title fight in Las Vegas this weekend, but Arum has claimed he rejected the chance to take on Pacquiao in talks held after the Filipino had defeated Timothy Bradley in April.
Arum told Telegraph Sport: "After Pacquiao's second fight with Timothy Bradley [in April], I tried to see if Khan was interested in fighting Manny and if it was legally possible. The first guy I asked was Nick Khan, who is the agent of Freddie Roach and a friend of mine.
"He came back and said they (Khan's advisers) gave him the runaround. We were told: 'No way'. They have contractual commitments to others, which would prevent that fight from happening.' So I dropped it."

I believe this all part of Al Satan's agenda.. allowing his fighters like Swift, Khan, Maidana, etc to not fight Pacquiao because those fights would obviously generate a large amount of ppv buys which would give Pac enough leverage in negotiations with Floyd to ask for a 50/50.. this snake tactic leaves Pac to fight unknown fighters like Algieri and Vargas, which obviously would lead to much lower ppv numbers..
