    That's not the question.

    The question is, would he be mroe popular?

    Or should I put it in a way you may understand.

    Would Hatton, Murray, Mitchell, Froch be less popular if they were not white?

          It wouldn't change a bloody thing. He had a sensational olympic run and all his fights screened on ITV.

          Worst. Thread. Ever.

              Bull**** that it wouldn't change a thing.

              How did Mitchell sell out 30k or whatever in West Ham stadium?

              Because he was an east end white lad.

              You are not reading the qustion or something?

              Of course he would sell more if he was white.

              The simple fact of being a salesman, is that you relate and can get the buyer to feel like there is some sort of similarity/identity.
              It goes both ways. Would Amir get ******/Pakistani/Asian support if he was white? No.

              Would he get more from white fans? Yes.

                LMFAO. So what is your point?

                That the British are racists? That Khan was chased out of Britain? Khan has made a shocking amount of money form the British public. Far more than Froch, Murray and Mitchell have put together I'd have reason to suspect.

                Kevin is a working class lad. Amir was a loud asian boy with a string of driving offences.. of course Kevin is going to appeal to the lads of the East end more.

                But Khan sells out arenas all over the country... could Kevin do that?

                      Of course mate. I've just been down my local corner shop to get a packet of McCoys and a diet coke. My dad is borrowing my machette though so I just took the baseball bat and a bulldog.
