"What I bring to the table is huge. I bring countries to the table, being a Muslim, being a Pakistani, having a huge fan base in India where they've got a billion people living there. Pakistan is half a billion. You've got England. Floyd said I'm not big enough. I'm a bigger name than Maidana. I'm a bigger name than Victor Ortiz and Guerrero," stated former jr. welterweight champion Amir Khan, who took offense to recent comments made by undefeated pound-for-pound king Floyd Mayweather suggesting that he's not a big enough name to fight him. According to Khan, that couldn't be further from the truth.
"I mean, fine, maybe I'm not on the same level and maybe he's a little bit bigger than me, Canelo, I agree with you, but other than that, I'm bigger than all of the fighters he's fought. On top of that, I've beaten Maidana as well. And then, if Mayweather wants to be a global star, he has to fight someone who has a big following in other countries, like myself like in Pakistan and India," Khan explained during a recent conversation with FightHype.com. "But if Floyd still says I'm not a big name, I promise Floyd one thing. Come to England, I'll show you how big I am. Come to England, I'll sell out the Wembley Stadium fighting you. That's 100% guarantee. I think that answers his question how popular Amir Khan is."
