If Amir Khan Was White British Would He Be More Popular in UK?

[omarinbox]

If Amir Khan were white, he would have had to have 40 fights WITHOUT a KO loss before HBO would have him on.

Like Ricky Hatton.

And Ross Greenburg would have matched him with a southpaw world titleholder from a bigger weight division, with hopes that he'd lose, instead of with a feather-fisted smaller boxer like Malignaggi.

That ain't cos he's East-Asian its cos he's from money and sports.

That brings a lot of hate but its off -topic.

Folks say he gets fans for being ******.

So does he get hate for being ******?

And which outweighs the other the hate side from those comparing him to the Taliban or the support from the ****** fight fans?

So Khan is talent, Believes in himself, Isnt white and so can never be as popular as Hatton, Froch, Mitchell.

Like it has been said, The "British" really need to get thier house in order. Manny is oriental boxer and in the US is a superstar, In UK he would only be appreciated in a chinese take-out.

Also reading some of the responses of people here from Britian it only proves what Khan has said all along: "If I was white British fighter, Id be a superstar"

Shut up you knob lol. Manny is loved over here and khan can **** himself with that ****!

You stole the language:

Shampoo: Indian

Pyjamas: Indian

Juggernaut: Indian

Pundit: Indian

Aryan: Indian

Bandana: Indian

****le: Indian

Musk: Indian

Bungalow: Indian

Polo: Indian

Teak: Indian

Bloody English!

I see what your doing.

You are doing Amir and the UK in general a great dis-services by comparing him to domestic moron John Murray; Why would Khan even consider fighting for the British or European titles when he is clearly A+ world class fighter? Makes no sense.

For all those that like to make the UK to be some kind of tolerant safe-zone, They are simply stealing the ideology of the US. The US give it your rich, Your poor and we will make them all they can be. Let be honest here admit it, South Asians (Indians/Pakistanis/****ladeshis) are treated like 1000th citizens, Ive seen it with my own eyes when I visited the UK.

To deny the UK has a massive racial/integration problem is to be either naive or duplicitous, Alot of "British" are racist towards Amir, Until the "British" prove in deeds and not cheap words alone thier tolerance and respect for all humanity. I have no reason to believe that the "British" are still a backward nation from which the US was freed.

God Bless the US, God Bless **********!

Here is a dedication I made to Amir Khan:

Naseem hamed was pre 9/11 era. Also he is middle eastern whereas khan is south east asian. Your case becomes weak here.

I didn't realize that Yemeni was considered Southeast Asian or White British these days. The Pre-9/11 thing makes sense, although I don't know how much impact that has in Britain. It could mean a lot or nothing at all, I just don't know.

of course he would, Mitchell was getting a lot of hype before he got KO'd a few weeks ago

but Khan has a good following now and if he keeps winning it will got even bigger

Khan is more popular than Mitchell. Why do people comment on things which they clearly have no idea about?

[omarinbox]

Someone please answer my question.

He is getting support for being a ****** but do you think that outweighs the hate he gets for being a ******?

I know theres a lot more reasons he's hated. I've listed them above.

Just answer that question truthfully in this bump and stop acting dumb, cos you're not.

[GRANDSLAM]

On a seperate note, Why is it that people like Froch, Hatton, Mitchell get alot more following and support from the British than Khan? He is more talented than the lot of them put together.

I clicked yes because I think him being Asian and ****** is a SMALL part for his apparent lack of popularity. Froch and Mitchell do not have a bigger following than Khan, theres probably more white people who are Khan fans than those who are Mitchell and Froch fans combined, mainly because they are bums especially Mitchell. In closing I think it has more to do with him being Asian than not being white as Boxing is a working class sport and I'm afraid there is still a minority of working class people who have a little ignorance in them. Haye is huge over here and he's mixed race

By the way I am a White, English man if you're conducting a survey lol
