The Philipine southpaw, is a rockstar in the ring, he has proved it over and over again. So he decided to take it to Twitter for his fans and did an open polling asking his fans to vote for the boxer he should face in a battle. The boxer he nominated were Britain’s Amir Khan, Kell Brook, Jeff Horn and Terence Crawford, big names from the circuit. Does it get any bigger? Amir Khan won the polls hands-down but both the wrestlers could not zero-in on the venue.
Pacquiao tweeted: “Negotiations between team Pacquiao and team Khan have come to terms for the April 23 bout as this is what the fans wanted.#PacquiaoKhan”
