Amir Khan got Heavily Booed at Wembley!!!

[Robbie Barrett]

Lol you must be losing it. There were no more than 100 Asian people inside that stadium, tops. And Europe--particularly the UK--are far more hostile towards ******s than the US. All fighters have egos, you have to look beneath the surface and the purported reasons for why the Europeans hate him to figure out the real reasons. He is a lot more liked in the US because people over here are a lot less racist than in the EU.

UK is one of the least racist places in the world.

He alway gets booed in the UK and the reasons are kinda lame, still dates back to him winning a silver at the Olympics at 17 and getting money thrown at him right, left and centre. Jealousy plays a big part.

not to mention the racism, every UK Khan fight I've been to, there's at least 60% of fans who are racist skin heads doing the booing, it really is as simple as that.

I don't understand how boxing fans can hate Khan, the guy gives us great fight after great fight.

This is England, where racism is on the rise, especially aimed against Asians, most importantly ******s. Simple as that.

UK is one of the least racist places in the world.

You see racism is changing, skin colour and even some cultures are being accepted but it is becoming acceptable to abuse ******s, it's the ugly side of Britain and Europe as a whole.

Anyway, this isn't a discussion for a boxing forum.

Dude its literally been a year since two ******s ran over an off duty British soldier and chopped his head off with an axe in broad daylight what do you expect?.

Idk why people have a false impression that Khan is arrogant? Cause he's not arrogant at all, Those who have met him in person always say that he's few of the most humble & nicest fighters out there, he doesn't bad mouth about his opponents and never use any swear words. I think he gets perceived in the wrong way and from the articles and headlines in the papers he comes off as a arrogant lad, while in reality he's just someone who truly believes in himself and his abilities like most of the other fighters out there.

Not really sure if you can say it was racism considering there were like 60,000 Froch fans in the Stadium and off course they're gonna boo Khan, since the beef among Khan and Froch is well known to everyone, Had it been Khan fighting in Bolton and if Froch was introduced at the Big screen he'd have gotten Booed aswell.

So...

[stilltharow]

Why was that? Probably cause he had Groves ahead that time or for some other reason? The time Khan's picture came at the Big screen when being interviewed during mid rounds, whole crowd booed him.

Never seen him getting booed like that before. He normally gets a lots of cheers from the crowd in the States, Even when he was fighting Peterson in his Hometown i.e DC the boos weren't as bad as this one.

no one knew his score card in the arena, he was booed cause no one likes him.

to be honest everyone was getting booed in the area, the crowd was clueless, from boo carl they became fans of his at the end.
everyone went crazy when bruno come on the screens.

[Lalaland]

I agree with the poster who said he gets ''Perceived'' in the wrong way.

You can see that in his articles, they always extract the Juiciest headlines from his interviews and ignore the nice stuff he says.

He comes off as an arrogant guy though he does a lot of charity work for the community and owns a non-profitable Gym of his own to keep children off the streets. Sadly, these things doesn't get highlighted and only the negative stuff gets highlighted regarding Khan.

Froch got booed in Nottingham a few weeks ago.

Definitely because he is black

Granted Gonzalez was Virgil Hunters fighter, Khan walked out an American against a English fighter at Wembley, what did he expect? lol
