Why is it so hard to believe that he will donate all his purse? Some people don't realise but Khan has made atleast 20million from his fights alone, he's that big in the UK. So 1 million is nothing to him he makes that from sponsors alone. Actually that is one of the reasons he's hated so much.Comment

Amir yesterday visited a food-voucher distribution point and played with homeless Muqadas, eight, Alishba, six, and three-year-old Numeeb at Oxfam's Government Port Camp near Nowshera.
It is home to around 4,000 flood victims, who face living up to ten to a tent for months or even years.
Amir - who has helped raise more than £1million for Pakistan in the past month - begged Brits to give just £1 each to flood appeals. He said: "That's enough to stop a child going hungry."
And he vowed to give prize-money from his world title bout against Marcos Maidana on December 11 to Pakistan. He added: "I'm dedicating the fight to those who died and are suffering."
Neva Humaira Khan, Oxfam's Director in Pakistan, yesterday said: "This crisis is just getting bigger and bigger. The public's response has been generous beyond belief. In a recession they have dug deep. But we still need more donations so that we can reach more people."
Love him or hate him, you gotta give him props for this.........Comment
