    You can't blame them. He has the belt and isn't asking to fight in stl. Dubai is a ****** country so he knows its like fighting him in his backyard. He better look for the KO cuz they everything will be stacked against him.plus they want to make may-khan next year anyway.

      Them 1.2M, I'd say about 99% haven't got a pot to p1ss in, let alone afford boxing tickets.

        Am I losing my mind here? People think Dubai is a home territory for Khan?

          This fight won't end up in Dubai.

            Yeah but aren't those Pakistani's really poor? They live in camps and send most of their money back home

            Tickets would be too expensive

            It's an event for rich people in Dubai and for tourism

            haha, Alexander should be happy with whatever he get - The dude can't draw for ****

            Do all blacks support Mayweather? and did all the Mexicans support Guerrero?
            Did all Christians support Judah against Khan?

            Only super casuals care about that ****

            I don't give a **** about Tommy Morrison or Marciano compared to Tyson or Ali

              Rich people have little interest in boxing.

              30 thousand out of 1.2 mln will have enough money for a ticket.

              Besides, not all Pakistanis in UAE live in camps. Google Abdul Razzak Yaqoob - he is a Pakistani living in Dubai and he is worth $3 bln.

                yeah people are ignorant to believe that because its a ****** country it's a home fight for khan. It's like saying if the fight was in brazil (a Christian country) it would be home advantage for Devon

                  They are different if you actually look at it.

                  Almost like a Filipino to a Chinese.

                    Alexander has gotten 2 nods that are debatable already in the US.

                    Khan did beat Maidana by 1 round.

                    Khan lost to a close fight with 2 deductions in DC.

                    It would be suicide for Devon to fight in the UK IMO.

                    Dubai is the best option.

                    As for July in an article I read earlier, that is dumb. Too little time to train.

                      WWE and Justin Bieber find it worth their time to come to Dubai

                      There are lots of rich foreigners in Dubai, I hear they spend their days not doing a whole lot.

                      That guy isn't a South Asian migrant worker, he's the same as all the other rich people there

                      Anyway, we'll see how Zhong's fight does, that should give us a good indication
