Khan told BBC Radio 5 live's Sportsweek that Mayweather's manager, Len Ellerbe, approached him after Saturday's fight at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.
He said: "Financially they know it will be a big fight and it will be an exciting fight.


I think Khan would actually have a chance, which is why I find it hard to believe that TMT would even want this fight.

Too many people hate him. As long as he's undefeated, there will be interest

khan is a much better matchup for Mayweather with his length. His hands are every bit as fast as Mayweather as well.

He should keep fighting until he gets beat.

It would be the best move financially. As long as he is undefeated, people will watch. Also, with his fighting style, he really doesn't get beat up much at all in the ring. So he should be able to fight 3 months apart with no problem.

He could make a ridiculous amount of money if he keeps fighting until he loses.

Meh I'd rather see him fight Thurman. And I thought I read something about Khan not being able to fight in September due to it being too close to Ramadan.

Not sure who else is out there. Bradley maybe?

Thurman is shorter in height and reach tha Mayweather. He also is a power puncher that lacks skill. Why would anyone want to see him fight Mayweather????? Khan is taller has the reach, speed and skills to at least catch up to Mayweather and with Floyds lack of real threat power it could be a great matchup

Isn't Khan's chin questionable? Seems like he gets knocked down alot. I think Mayweather would destroy him.

If Mayweather is approaching someone then stay away from that fight. Mayweather will not fight someone he can't beat.

Call me crazy, but I believe Mayweather-Khan will be a fun fight.

Styles make fights and Khan's self-confidence combined with his lightning fast combinations will make it interesting. The old Amir Khan would get whooped in under 4 rounds but he's definitely made some adjustments with Virgil Hunter.

Khan truly believes he will beat Mayweather and he'll bring the fight to him. He won't rush in but he'll keep his distance and fire off those combinations. At this point he actually gives Floyd a tougher matchup than Pacquiao. Hunter has taught Khan when to punch and when to clinch. This isn't the old Freddie Roach version of Khan who was all offense and constantly got rocked with big punches. At 147 he's filled out nicely and has become a pretty strong fighter overall.

Thurman gets beat 10-2 easily. He's a fun fighter but sooooo flawed. Leonard Bundu had him running around the ring all night. Yes, running. Robert Guerrero also had him running late in their fight two months ago.

Bradley maybe?

Bradley's a Top Rank/HBO guy so he's out the question. I think Bradley and Brandon Rios are negotiating.
