Amir Khan has given Floyd Mayweather five days to decide whether he wants to fight the Briton at some point this year.
Khan is growing increasingly frustrated at the behaviour of the pound-for-pound king's camp and says there is little more he can do in the ring to tempt the 37-year-old into fighting him.
The Bolton welterweight was a convincing winner over Devon Alexander in his most recent outing in December.
Khan wants to begin his preparations for a fight in May and he has given Mayweather until the end of the week to decide if he wants to face him or, as seems more likely, agree a bout with Manny Pacquiao.
"I want to fight in May and I want the Mayweather fight but it's not getting any closer," Khan told the Daily Mail.
"I've answered all the things Mayweather wanted me to do. He wanted me to fight at welterweight, I did that; he wanted to do a vote, I won the vote; he wanted me to beat a top guy in the division and I gave Devon Alexander a beating he'd never had before.
"There is a lot of money in a fight with me, not just in America, but he's trying to avoid me. He's avoiding two names in boxing, Manny Pacquiao and Amir Khan.
"Mayweather wants to keep his '0', he doesn't want to take the big fights. If he's not fighting the top guys but is fighting guys who are over the hill or not at their peak, he's going to be undefeated.
"One thing about me is I've fought guys at their peak and who have been dangerous. I didn't have to fight them but I did. Losing doesn't make you a bad fighter, losing shows how good you are if you come back from those losses.
"It's a waiting game, I've given his team five days. I need to know this week because I need to start training."
