What does Pacquiao mean when he says it’s what the fans wanted? He posted a Twitter poll two weeks ago asking fans to vote for one of four people they wanted him to face. The choices were Khan, Jeff Horn, Bud Crawford and Kell Brook. Khan received 48 percent of the nearly 45,000 votes.

Pacquiao’s adviser, who had been negotiating the fight, was looking at Abu Dhabi or Dubai as the potential fight location.

Pacquiao, 38, is 59-6-2 in his career and has won two in a row since losing to Floyd Mayweather Jr. in 2015, when he claimed he fought with a severely injured shoulder. Khan, 30, is 31-4 and coming off a loss to Canelo Alvarez in May, though he won his five previous fights.

Pacquiao is a senator in his native Philippines and can only fight when the senate is not in session.
