Why is Amir Khan so much more popular than Timothy Bradley??

Khan is totally unknown in America. But so is Bradley. Khan has had better exposure, so in a contest between two total unknowns, Khan probably wins in popularity.

If Khan and Bradley were fighting on the same night and i had tickets to both, id be going to see Khan no questions asked and i live in the states. I think it boils down to, for me at least, I think Khan can be great and I think Bradley will never be more than a good fighter. Khans size and speed arent something we see everyday and i think that intrigues people. If i have two tickets to see both fighters i would also choose to see Khan live, The handspeed alone makes me want to watch Khan.

I don't think Khan is more popular than Bradley right now. Maybe in Britain yes, but in America?

Khan is a rare breed in boxing, When you get that then you would become popular without doing too much, Its like Having Tiger woods in golf in the beginning or lewis hamilton in F1 in the beginning. And he's british too which helps him because we dont really produce a lot of talent of here, So the moment we see one potential talent we got ape **** over it, He has also done well for himself by winning silver at the olympics at age 17 and the only Team GB qualifier.

becuase hes pakistani !! because hes a exciteing fighter! because hes a british citizan ! becuase hes good lookin !! becuase hes an oylimpic sliver medalist because hes got a massive weakness !!............ his chin see a weakness like that is a gift in another sense coz people want to watch and see if this is the time he gets knocked out again lol all these add up to super star if he keeps winning that is !!!

alot of it is roach hype

I haven't watched alot of Khans older fights...Where does this "Glass chin" thing come from? Is it from that ridiculously hard shot he took straight to the chin from prescott who is a hard hitter?? Anyone would have slept from that... Or has he been down in previous fights as well??? He got rocked by Willie Limond who has 8 KOs in 30 fights.

Nationalism.

And you know the thing is if Tim Bradley did beat him, us casual fans would look up to him more but I still think Khan would have the bigger mainstream name afterwards..He just has the look and personality to be a superstar I guess...It kind of reminds me of De la Hoya coming up....

His speed is supernatural. Its fvcking amazing. people like to see athletic freaks.

Take a look and see if theres any boxer out there like Khan right now ethnic wise.

He was hyped from the olympics, has great skills and has a big personaility He also got that swag and could trash talk when needed
