Mayweather v McGregor 'awesome for boxing'

New York - Amir Khan invested years endeavoring to nail down a standoff with Floyd Mayweather Jr yet the Briton is glad to see the undefeated multi-division best on the planet leave retirement to confront a man who has never had a solitary expert session.

Mayweather hung up his gloves in 2015 with a 49-0 record yet the 40-year-old American will come back to the ring for a lucrative 12-round fight against Irish blended hand to hand fighting champion Conor McGregor in Las Vegas one month from now.

Reports of a battle between previous world light-welterweight champion Khan and Mayweather frequently surfaced in the media yet the session never emerged as neither one of the camps approached the arranging table.

In spite of a lot of feedback inside boxing, the 30-year-old Khan feels the hybrid battle amongst Mayweather and McGregor will be sure for the game, which he feels has lost ground to the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) MMA advancement.

"It's a business battle, one," Khan told Reuters. "Two, what will happen now is it's amongst boxing and MMA.

"Right now, MMA and UFC is doing as such numerous incredible numbers on TV, on pay-per-see. Boxing is doing OK however it took tad bit of a plunge. We are not getting the great pay-per-see numbers we used to.

"For the time being to join the two games together will be extraordinary for the game of boxing (more) than MMA.

"We hit a divider and we didn't generally do anything. Boxing never pushed ahead around the globe, while MMA continued advancing and got greater and greater and greater. Enclosing sort of slowed down my sentiment and we required something like this."

Undefeated middleweight best on the planet Gennady Golovkin has rejected the session as a 'carnival appear' yet Khan can't help contradicting the Kazakh warrior.

Khan additionally did not preclude securing a session against Pacquiao later on.

"Perhaps the Pacquiao battle will happen later, it's tied in with timing," he said. "Perhaps Manny Pacquiao didn't feel certain to bring the battle with me this time, possibly he will take it next time."

Khan has not battled since May 2016, when he climbed two divisions to go up against middleweight Saul "Canelo" Alvarez, a 6th round knockout misfortune that he concedes was a misstep he would not be rehashing whenever soon."It's currently about settling on the correct decisions for me, ensuring I don't take battles that I needn't bother with... like going up two weight classes," he said.

"It was a misstep. Be that as it may, on the off chance that you need to accomplish something which is not normal, you need to go accomplish something insane. That would have taken me to an alternate level. So you need to go out on a limb. Be that as it may, it can be harming for your vocation." +Khan was in Mumbai to advance the establishment based Super Boxing League which keeps running from July 7 to Aug. 12, will be broadcast live by Sony ESPN and is supported by the World Boxing Council (WBC).
