VIDEO of KHAN-McCLOSKEY post fight press conference- HEATED !!!!!!!

[wazaa.]

It's possible.

But at the same time "taxi" is used (at least over here) as an equivalent response to "get out of here" or "shut up"/"whatever".

I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and assume it was meant in that way rather than the racist way, simply due to the sheer ******ity he would have to have to be racist with so many people present and the camera rolling.

C'mon man. When people are heated and angry their true feelings come out. When Amir TKO'd Salita, I wa like: "yeah **** you Israel !!".

Khan cherry-picked an opponent, looked to have the worst team in history when negotiating it, looked bad in the fight and won via a headbutt-cut stoppage that 100% of people disagreed with, then tried to claim that the fight was stopped because his opponent quit even though that clearly wasn't the case.

Then at the press conference there's Khan mouthing off, then his family heckling McCloskey's camp when it was their turn to talk, then Khan and his team walking out before they can finish...

The whole thing just seems like a bit of a joke to me. Surely something his fans will want to forget rather than boast about online.

This is pretty much spot on.

Eddie Hearn is a racist when he told one of Team Khan members to go get a Taxi.

Did you ring a lad yesterday from Birmingham who was at the Khan fight?? I was speaking to him and he said he was a huge Khan fan and he went to vegas an dstuff and then his phone rang and the contact was Wazza??

• So fighting a top 10 ranked JWW is called cherry picking nowadays?
  
• Not only Amir but also the HBO commentating team Merchant and Steward thought McCloskey had quit, the way he was shaking his head.
  
• Amir's family was giving Team McCloskey his respect until Team McCloskey started shouting and making fun of Oscar and Amir when they were talking.
  
• Amir mouthing off? How about Amir standing up for his victory and not let some deluded people from Team McCloskey dictate what the press conference should be about.

Yeah, had Hearn said for instance "go back to driving your taxi", then there'd be no doubt that he meant it as a racist barb, but like you said, it's entirely possible that he meant it in the innocuous "on ya bike" sense. At any rate, it was a spectacularly poorly chosen turn of phrase.

Just watched the full video. Amir to some random hater "Listen! Have you ever fought, Have you ever boxed, NO! so shut up" LOL!! We need the real Amir in press conferences.

[hayZ]

Amir was ****ing owning them left and right.

He is so perfect.

Bro I know you're an Amir Khan fan and an apnaa but take it easy man wtf ****s getting worrying now.

He did a job on him on both occasions

[amonb]

Oscar has no balls.

And Khan is indeed a ****y ****.

|I thought all boxers were ****y.... No???

[Spacey1991]

Not often you see Khan like that, Paul's team must of got on his nerves lol. There shouldn't be a rematch because what Paul was doing in the first 6 rounds doesn't warrent them, maybe if it was close but Khan won all the rounds... it was stopped too early though so both sides do have a point.

I did like it when Khan said "Have you ever tried to box or anything? No you haven't so shut up!".
