Lol @ all the hating. If he was American he'd have been the best thing since sliced bread.

****** who knows nothing about boxing, and sucks off every Brit, enters thread and gives his usual dip**** opinion.

Wrong, If he was American he would be just another boxer. He would not have had the fast lane treatment and with 2 Americans in his weight class that have beaten him he would not be significant and certainly would not have got a pass to the final of the LWW "Tournament".
It is because he is British and of Pakistani ethnicity he gets the red carpet treatment. With the exception of Froch there are no British fighters worthy of media attention so he has nothing to overshadow him. The boxing promoters have a huge untapped Asian market they can earn out of that is normally not interested in boxing that is why he gets all the breaks..

Dip**** gets owned by an intelligent poster using facts and logic to back up his assertion.



Does this idiot Andrew ever get tired of being wrong?

I agree that he wouldn't have been anything special if he was American.

However Amir may have still appealed to the American Asian market.

He got special treatment, but his story was one that the British public loved. At age 17 as the sole entry to the Athens 2004 Boxing competition, he won a medal. That hype lead to him bringing back Boxing to ITV.

His style and the fights he were in did bring attention to boxing, and most people enjoy watching him fight because he can get hurt but also has fast hands and throws lots of combinations.

The red carpet treatment is not being he is Pakistani. I have been to Amir Khan fights and the majority that turn up are boxing fans and not Pakistani. He had the red carpet treatment because other British fighters were a let down such as Audley Harrison.

I agree that Carl Froch hasn't had as much limelight, but that is mainly because he came up late in terms of fame. There's a reason why David Haye sells, he markets himself, as does Amir Khan. Froch prefers to paint his homes...

There isn't a huge Asian market. Boxing isn't that popular and viewing figures such as on Prime Time or the Paulie replay of the fight had average ratings/subscribers.

Amir is fighting mostly in America and has also had the golden spoon treatment to what he has achieved, but he is a name that people in the boxing world know and most enjoy watching, as a fan or hater.

Racist **** who slags of Brits, enters thread as he has done into every single Amir Khan thread there has even been on this forum.

Claims to hate Khan and all brown people in general yet around 20,000 of his 20,518 posts have involved talking about said brown glass jawed bum.
