Amir Khan faces Marcos Maidana tonight at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, Nevada. If you were on the verge of being a superstar, as many believe Khan is destined to be, would you rather emulate a guy like Floyd “Money” Mayweather Jr. (who obviously loves cash as his nickname tells you), or would you rather be like Manny Pacquiao?
Recently quoted by UK Publication the Telegraph, Khan spoke out on the question of if he wants to leave the sport filthy rich or leave behind a legacy?
Quoted by the publication, Khan stated: “When people ask me the question, ‘do you want to walk out of this game filthy rich or leave behind a legacy?? I tell them I want to be remembered as a great champion and role model like Manny Pacquiao.”
Khan went on to add: “We all fight for purses. It?s a business. Manny makes great money all over the world, but he is still humble and loves boxing. I want to follow in his footsteps.”
Khan should stay focused and stick to those words. In boxing there is no better role model at this time than Manny Pacquiao.
