do lot of people hate khan ( mostly in the uk ) because of his ethnicity /religion?

[paypayvay]

i mean ,the guy dosen't get that unconditional support that british fighters get from the fans , like haye for example , ( who is more arrogant than khan , disrespectful , not very active a s a fighter, cherry picks , avoided wlad for two years etc... ) people hate on him all the time on internet forum , more than any british boxers , it's seems like he always needs to earn " their respect " before a certain fight , as if winning a world title after a brutal knockout , fighting the biggest puncher in the division , and trying to fight the number one in the division is not enough to earn it .

and also the thing with sky , who refused to show his fights for no obvious logical reason

his full fight with maidana on youtube : 698 likes , 153 dislikes ...too much dislikes for a fight like that don't you think ?

He's the most popular fighter in the country.

No doubt about it.

Of course he has people who hate him, too.

Sky can't have two PPV's in the same month, they're not allowed.

i know he's the most popular

but he got more british haters than any other british boxers

People hate him because he's a ****y twat and 90% of his fans have never seen boxing in their life and talk too much ****. He's kinda like the LeBron James of English Boxing. Someone with a fanbase that has never seen that sport and blindly swallow anything he does or says.

Nobody cares about his color or religion, its his twat fans who never seen a boxing match before Amir Khan. and Amir is known as the original twitter e-thug

[KitangKatag]

Is he british heart and soul? i doubt it.

But he's got more fans.

Pretty standard.

They might dislike him for the reasons you state but it's just a vocal minority. Boxing will always have its share of bigoted fans.

Also Brit boxers in general get discredited because we've had a lot of dross over the years, and Khan already has that chin that has been proven to be poor. A hater can always say: well, he is going to get KTFO by this and that guy because it's a fairly safe bet to assume Khan will KO'd again in his career.

Great example right there of the sort of mentality this stems from...

[Major Motoko]

Very true. The guy fought Maidana and then exposed Bradley. All hes doing is trying to get the best possible fights for the sport and the fans, he deserves the respect of everyone.

there is a reason for that and its very simple. khan and his team throw a hissy fit because they were moved off sky PPV and rightly so. khan then fcuked off to primetime and sky are not gonna stand for that. its payback for sky in their eyes.
