A fight with Conor McGregor would make perfect business sense, Amir Khan believes.
A fight with McGregor could be a money-spinner for Khan with the Crumlin man's only pro boxing bout against Floyd Mayweather reportedly securing the second highest pay-per-view buy rate in history.
The 32-year-old wants to take on the UFC star in the boxing ring and has billed it as a "England v Ireland" clash.
Khan was talking before his defeat to WBO welterweight champion and pound-for-pound star Terence Crawford in New York last weekend.
The Bolton man is now a free agent after his promotional deal with Matchroom ended and has said he is only interested in having “one or two more big fights”.
And Khan told Talksport that he would not turn down the chance to fight McGregor.
He said: “I mean it’s business, isn’t it?
“We’re at a level now where it makes great business like Floyd Mayweather. We all learned from Floyd Mayweather – how he makes fights happen.
“Conor McGregor vs Amir Khan would be a massive fight. It’d be huge, you’ve got Irish vs English so that’ll be massive.
“If that happens, I’m not one to turn away from that.”
