      Fair enough but when you're on holiday you don't know people so you make friends and he's not going to go out and cheat on his wife so he probably went and had a few beers with this bloke and the guy knew he had a top class fighter in his presence so he started acting the big man and **** escalated.

      All these theories are just that, but it guess it depends how your mind works.

        Khan will admittedly attract more people that want to see him lose than genuine supporters. That much is true but make no mistake, people would be coming to see him.

        These big events attract very low I.Q commoners who don't really know much about boxing at all. These are the kinds of people that dislike Khan in the UK.

          Oh and I will be rooting for Khan this weekend.

          It's all fun and games.

            And I like Amir but his fanboys on here are the very worst![/QUOTE]

            Very true , Amir himself (apart from some of his talk) doesn't seem a bad kid but these.....

              Lol Froch Groves 2 did what? 80,000? With all the hype and outrage over the first fight.
              That was also with special dispensation to gain more tickets.

              Khan/Brook would be better suited for somewhere like Upton Park or a similar sized ground.
              It's not really a bigger fight than Haye vs. Chisora was imo.

                So, using your logic the only people who dislike Amir Khan are...

                Low IQ Commoners!

                It would have nothing to do with the fact that most people in the UK are either indifferent to Khan or just find him extremely annoying.

                I would suggest that Khan's biggest fan base is with young, uneducated, UK Pakistani males in the larger Northern towns and cities.

                Most people don't hate Khan, they just don't care about him at all.

                  Having a slumber party?
                  probably a few lines of marching powder if you want my honest opinion

                      I would love to see this fight, Brooks will handle Khan easily. I actually dont see Khan Making it pass the 8th round.
