Just bribe some fat burger king munching yank with a couple of fries and cheeseburger and get da damn visa.

work visa problem? i dont understand. isnt he already training at the wild card gym in california...for how many times now? and for how long? so he doesnt need a work visa to train in the U.S. at the wild card gym but needs a work visa for the night of the fight?

They are already trying to find a way out of fighting a slick boxer like Malignaggi. Paulie is going to beat him like a drum all night...

Amir Khan's preparations for his WBA light-welterweight title defence against Paulie Malignaggi have been hit by a visa problem. Khan, said to have been denied a visa due to past motoring offences here in the UK, journeyed to Vancouver, Canada in order to re-apply for a work permit. The process could take a week but Golden Boy, who are promoting the contest, are confident that Khan will be able to defend his title at Madison Square Garden, New York come May the 15th.

Good, this has to be the most uninspiring fight since, well since his last fight against Salita.

If he is in the US training then probably he is with a tourism visa for the moment but technically he can't receive any income if he does not have a work visa, so that is what might be happening

Really you think that the US Federal Government is trying to mess with Amir. Who sets and provides the visas is the USCIS that is run by the Federal Government. This has nothing to do with fighters nor promoters trying to make a shaddy move so we can drop the conspiracy theories.

On a side note I expect the fight will go on, and once GBP provides the proper paperwork for what the expected revenues of the event will create it should go thru.

If this fight fails then the people to blame here is GBP for poor management and for not anticipating possible scenarios.

As for the fight goes it should be a very good match and am really looking forward to see them both.

wow that is MESSED UP. RACIST AMERICANS. SO, Amir is still in Vancouver....

Nothing to do with race here. there are many people who are white and have been denied visas to the USA.The UK didnt allow Benny Hinn a preacher to enter the UK so it's how it is,Snoop Dogg was denied a VISA to the UK so get used to it
