    I doubt it.

    I live in inner city London, **** like murders happen maybe every 2-3 weeks and none gets on the news.

    Only kids sometimes get on it, but even now there's less of a shock and people just move on.

    No disrespect but why would a cornershop man beign killed get anytime of the day, no matter what colour he was?

        You just got owned son. I ate you up.

        Clearly if Khan was white, he would lose ****** fans and gain white fans.

        Vice versa.

        End of your debate.

        It doesn't matter what he has now, the question was, would it be worse or better?

          I saw them run out of the shop. I was told by a friend later that he was burnt alive. And no mate, you'd think it would make national news but F did it. This is my point. You dont see it so you dont wanna believe it. This doesnt happen everywhere, and happens very very rarely to this extreme... but it happens.

            I'm sorry but if a coronershop man got burnt alive it'd be all over the national news.

            Very recently there was a murder of a man in a corner shop and that was all over the national news.

            I reckon the guy's story is bull**** until I see a local report.

              Yeah It looks bull**** to me also.

              Looking at the way he wrote it.

              But I didn't see that cornershop news here. Maybe I missed it

                No. I did not get owned. Of course what you were saying has truth to it.

                Would Khan be more popular if he were white.....? Doubt it.

                There is no evidence that he would be. Calzaghe was an outstanding (domestic) amateur, fought loads of times for a world title and Khan's probably made as much money as he has already.

                  It would be on the local news AT LEAST.

                  Your friend was BULL****TING.

                  Actually, I take that last bit back. I suppose there is some possibility it was blanketed from coverage to stop stirring up race riots.

                    Calzaghe has had some really good fights, and some bore fests too.

                    His issue was that he never got on TV until the end. Khan was the guy who bought Live boxing back on ITV after so many years. Audley for BBC after Lewis lsot to Rahman.

                    I'm a Calzaghe fan and I saw always his talent. I enjoy his style and skills. Whatever the haters say.

                    I've read Calzaghe's biography. Good read BTW

                    As for Calzaghe not making money. He had a **** promoter (20 ish fights until he found Warren)

                    Then Warren fed him some bums aswell. Other factor was that he came after Benn and Eubank, and was under Lewis and Naz and shared stardom with Hatton.

                    Herbie Hide would be mroe popular if we had not had Bruno and Lewis for example.

                      No, this happens at every corner shop in the UK. It's normal every day buisness.
