Why is Amir Khan so much more popular than Timothy Bradley??

Khan is a rare breed in boxing, When you get that then you would become popular without doing too much, Its like Having Tiger woods in golf in the beginning or lewis hamilton in F1 in the beginning.

And he's british too which helps him because we dont really produce a lot of talent of here, So the moment we see one potential talent we got ape **** over it, He has also done well for himself by winning silver at the olympics at age 17 and the only Team GB qualifier.

I don't think Khan is more popular than Bradley right now.

Maybe in Britain yes, but in America?

If Khan and Bradley were fighting on the same night and i had tickets to both, id be going to see Khan no questions asked and i live in the states. I think it boils down to, for me at least, I think Khan can be great and I think Bradley will never be more than a good fighter. Khans size and speed arent something we see everyday and i think that intrigues people.

probably because timothy looks like ninja turtle

If i have two tickets to see both fighters i would also choose to see Khan live, The handspeed alone makes me want to watch Khan.

and its got something to do with khan being associate with roach and pac

Khan is totally unknown in America. But so is Bradley. Khan has had better exposure, so in a contest between two total unknowns, Khan probably wins in popularity.

Agree with most of the above, but think about this.

He's from an Asian background, grew up in Europe and is getting schooled in the States.

Thats a lot of exposure and a broader fanbase results from a broader exposure, spannign three continents.

Bradley has always stayed in the States growing up, training and fighting. Well he fought Witter in the UK and Kendall Holt in Quebec in 08 and 09, but thats it. For an older boxer he could have had moe exposure in Europe. It would make him bigger.

If US champs thought about fighting in Asia, Africa and especially Europe. They'd reap the benefits through satellite sales.
