Manny Pacquiao said he almost reached a deal for Amir Khan
After Roach left the Brit, Pacquiao was his target for a fight.
Khan was the only person who came to an agreement, and it wasn't reached.
Sky Sports quoted Pacquiao as saying: "Almost that fight. It was almost possible to have that fight but there was an issue about something.
"I will not reveal it."
After years of being connected, Pacquiao (42), did not confirm the year that talks ended with Khan (34).
He was also coy about sparring sessions that took place in private.
Pacquiao stated that fighting in the ring, within the ring, is different from training.
"Different from sparring or any other activity. Big difference."
After two years, the ring legend returns to fight Cuban Yordenis Urgas, 35 on Saturday.
Pacquiao was scheduled to fight Errol Spencer Jr., 31 years old, but he pulled out due to an eye injury. He has not yet stated how many fights he has left.
PacMan still hopes to box in Britain before he retires from his legendary 71-bout career.
He stated, "I hope that oneday I could have a fighting there." "I hope to have one fight in the UK."
