    I need someone to confirm the ***an fight and Barrera fight, I dont buy PPV fight and the last one i ever brought was Naz back in the late 90's.

        If he feels like he's been the victim of racism then he has a right to voice his opinions on the matter.

          Some people are too vociferous in their dislike of Khan: a 22-year-old prospect.

          But, like Khan says it's a minority. Such a minority that he makes himself sound like a ***** for mentioning them.

          Khan has had it better than 99.9% of boxers when it comes to money and opportunities.

            he said that he was upset about the amount of hate and racial taunts he gets on internet forums and chatrooms . I havent heard of any other boxer that gets as much racial hate as he does on the net . You only have to look at the comments on his youtube videos to see this. But he isnt exactly helping himself by saying stuff like this because he still has a lot of fans he risks alienating and he has to realise that internet warriors are always going to say stuff like this.

              The fact that Khan/***an was a ppv beggars belief
              get your facts right, your full of crap.

              Khan/***an was part of a package with the Oscar/Paquio fight. 15quid for fk sake and your still complainning?

              I dont get why people feel the need to go onto boxing forums and continue to moan about 15pounds for a fight. If you dont want to pay then fine, dont pay, no need to moan about it like a girl

                He better grow some thicker skin then, because after pulling the race card, the racial taunts will get far far worse and he will be disrespected far far more.

                Pulling the race card is pretty much suicidal from a publicity point of view these days.

                When was the last time you heard of someone pulling the race card and benefiting from it? It always back fires.

I think he's a twat for saying this, we made him who he is by buying his goddamn fights and supporting him even when he got KO'ed in the most embaressing fashion. He's been making **** loads of money for fighting bums his whole career and is one of the leading figures in British sport.
                  Agreed. All non white famous people are going to attract negative attention from small minded little ****s, it comes with the territory and unfortunately it seems these people and their backwards attitudes aren't going anywhere any time soon but it really is a small minority. I assert that if you take a group of say 20 Khan haters, only one or two are going to have race a primary factor.

                  I'm surprised at how many people are actually backing Khan's sentiments. In America when you have a boxer such as Mayweather "play the race card" the nation collectively rolls it's eyes and tells him to **** off, and rightly so. But Brits just can't give ourselves any credit it seems, we love to loathe ourselves. Some of you guys might be surprised to find out that we are one of the most progressive nations in the world.

                    ive never understood why people moan about him being on ppv too early , if you dont like it DONT PAY!!! simple as that . Just come onto this site a day or two later and someone will have uploaded the whole card , no need to b*tch about it.
