Amir Khan has branded Floyd Mayweather Jr "full of s***" for suggesting he still had plans to fight the Brit after his clash Marcos Maidana.

On Monday, Mayweather Jr stated via his official Twitter account that he would only fight Khan if the Bolton fighter agreed to face - and beat - Adrien Broner on the undercard of his May 3 show.

Khan has been left disappointed numerous times since a bout with unbeaten Mayweather Jr was first touted. Despite topping a recent fans' poll held by Mayweather Jr on his official website, Khan was overlooked in favour of Maidana and had even passed the opportunity of a world title shot against Devon Alexander.

Promoters Golden Boy indicated a bout between 'Money' and Khan "will happen" eventually, something which Mayweather Jr further emphasised on his Twitter profile.

I don't have an easy fight on May 3, 2014, so I can't over look @ChinoMaidana but @AmirKingKhan, if you and @AdrienBroner end up fighting...
