    Those English fans wearing the sombreros and supporting MAB...

    Do you think they were boxing afficianados who were cheering on MAB because they had followed his career and wanted to show their appreciation to a legend......

    or were they people who hate Khan and wanted to see him get laid out again? And are probably Hatton fans?

    In your opinion.

      I think they were ****s.

      The amount of stick Khan a youngster gets from grown men is ******.

      If you were behind Barrera I'd doubt you'd make a prick out of yourself and wear a sombrero.

      You could see the real fans, the guys giving Barrera a great reception.

            Barrera has a huge fan base in the UK, they aint ****s there supporting there fighter, whats wrong with that, not often you get too see a legend in the flesh and a true man of the ppl is Barrera, i feel for Barrera i realy hope he gets his LW title or a rematch with Khan

              Cheers. I mean, my instinct would be to say they were Khan haters but I didn't know MAB had a following in Manchester. Would you say the same people would have come out and worn the sombrerors had MAB fought.....Alex Arthur at the MEN?

              Not being sarcastic here or anything, I just found it quite curious.

                  I don't mind them wearing sombreros, if it was a show of support for a mexican legend.

                  But the booing Khan got.....was out of order. If it wasn't for the Sky contract, he'd be best off fighting in America.

                    Maybe the sombrero-wearing ones were genuinely rooting for MAB, but I bet the rest who booed Khan were just hater ****heads.

                    Why pay to go and see a Brit... lose... in Britain? That makes no sense.
