Khan already massive in the UK and has a large following in Pakistan and the Middle East and to an extent the Philiphines because of his connection to Manny Pacquaio.
Do you think he can make it big in the USA if he keeps fighting and beating top level opposition or do you think people wont take a liking to him because of his race/religion and the War on Terrorism etc. De La Hoya seems to think if Khan keeps winning and beating the best opposition people will take notice, Pacquaio is from the Philiphines yet huge in the US.

Can Khan Make Big It In The USA?
Khan can make it big worldwide because he is an exception to the norm.
How many good Arab/Pakistani world class boxers are there? NEXT TO NONE, so he instantly pulls a whole demographic because he is an exception to the norm...Arabs etc just don't make good fighters, history tells us, so when a genuine good fighter comes along he appeals to his own and also everyone else.
He also brings a massive UK market. He will also appeal to Muslims.
He ain't a bad looking chap either, so no doubt the ladies will follow.
He has the ingredients...All he has to do is be humble, be polite, keep smiling and keep winning and the rest will take care of itself.
He should someone to front up relationships as killing Sky was a stupid move even if he does have an HBO deal in the bag, SKY + HBO is a good combo and he needs to make sure his family don't run things into the ground by penny pinching.
The Judah fight was one of the top stories on ESPN.com the day of and the day after. I'd say he is well on his way.
Yeah I think Morales with the WBA Superworld, IBF and vacant WBC on the line against KHan will be the next fight.
GBP will use its mexican connections to get Khan v Morales for the Vacant WBC

He need to continue what he's doing at the moment, stay active, fight the level 2 guys then on to the level 1 guys.... And he need to get rid of some of his rascist fans like yourself..:cool2:
Yes, smartest thing he's done being the fact that he's European is coming to the US early in his career and staying here, he visits his country and will fight there from time to time, but while he's Boxing, USA will be his primary home, unlike Hatton, Hamed, Calzaghe, etc who had a HUGE following at home but struggled to get the same recognition in the US.
if Khan continues this way, and manages to get a fight with a 35 year old Mayweather when Khan is 25, he'll be the next Cash Cow of the sport, and all roads will lead to him.
I think he should fight Prescott, take him out in 1 round and just leave it at that so he can say he's beat everyone he's ever fought.
i agree with this

He's already made it because he's fearless.He's willing to test himself against the best and he comes to fight which is what Americans want.Arturo Gatti was willing to engage,people loved him even though he was not always the winner.Khan's made it so now he has everything to gain whoever he fights.He has lots already and bounced back so even when Mayweather spanks his ass people will understand
This
I think he can if he keeps winning Americans love winners.
