Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: Khan-Brook Can Draw 100,000 Fans in UK

[alexguiness]

I didn't say the only people but the vast majority. They're the kind of people who would boo someone like Carl Froch - the man got booed in his hometown after everything he has done for that place.

The type of Arsenal fans who would boo and hurl abuse at Arsene Wenger after all he's done for the club. Scum, gutter ****.

I think it's quite obvious why you don't like Khan from the insinuations that he only achieved fame because he's Pakistani. And now another reference to Pakistanis. I'm not Pakistani or uneducated or Nothern.

Khan is admired by many people in the UK for representing the country in the Olympics at 17 years old as Britain's only boxer. For going to America to fly the flag abroad and win world titles. For his charity work outside of boxing.

The UK population stretches beyond these sporting events which attract riff-raff like yourself.

You really are the Khan equivalent of a Bieber fan aren't you?

Accept the facts that;

Khan has cheated on his wife - after being married for a few weeks.
Khan killed an innocent pedestrian while speeding in his Porsche.
Khan hasn't done anything in boxing for 3 years.

As for people booing at football matches - they pay their money they have the right to do whatever they want. I don't agree with it but don't criticise or judge them either.

Khan is far, far from the perfect human you so badly want him to be, and also far removed from the unstoppable boxing juggernaut you blindly believe him to be.

Nobody is perfect, including me - but the way you get up on your pedestal crowing on about 'low IQ commoners' basically makes you sound like a self righteous 6th Form student.

Have you ever laced up btw?

Or are you just a twitter / instagram type of guy...

Well that's not a fact, is it? Because he didn't kill anyone in that accident. I think he would have got a little more than a 6 month driving ban had he killed someone....

Come on, we all know why you don't like Khan and the fact that I've wound you up about being a low I.Q commoner has brought it to very much to light.

I can't think of a better all British fight for Wembley than this one.

Stick it up north surely? One from Bolton one from Sheffield would be huge up ('ooop') there.

Old Trafford maybe if they do events like this?

A typical line of reasoning to dislike Khan from certain British people is that he left to fight in America so he's "abandoned" Britain lol. How ***ing low must your I.Q be to subscribe to that asinine line of thinking?

The same kind of idiots didn't like Lennox Lewis because he wasn't a "True Brit". Large sections of the British public, especially casual sports fans, are absolute morons. So this idea that Khan is "hated" in Britain because he was booed at Froch-Groves is beyond ******.

"Geoffrey Hatton never fully recovered from the incident and died two years afterwards from a gastrointestinal bleed"

Finally for the record Mr Diggler - I am neither a 'commoner' nor possess a 'low IQ'.

But even if I was, my opinion would be just as valid as your own - maybe more so.

With enough hype from sky this could match Froch v Groves 2. Not sure if it could top it though.

Was there a reason why Froch Groves at wembley didn't extend to 100.000 seats? Was it a money thing or what?

[MrRolltide91]

Yea that fight would do numbers

The man died two years after the accident from something unrelated. He injured his leg in the accident. I didn't know you could die from a broken leg?

You must have some form of intelligence to post propaganda like that. Pathetic.

Good thinking batman! It would be better in the north.

It makes me laugh that ODLH believes Khan is a megastar in the UK. He has a following but since his initial intro: 2nd best at the Olympics and Frank Warren's hype machine, it's all been downhill in terms of UK profile. Most fans know Khan as somebody who was highly praised & nearly good, but ultimately isn't as good as advertised.

Khan’s handlers have made mistakes that affect his credibility. Not avenging the 3 losses makes it hard for any non-bias boxing fan to believe in him. Yeah, he made noise about avenging the loss to Peterson, but talk is cheap. Khan has yet to avenge any of his 3 losses so as far as many fans are concerned that’s a weakness. It makes “Khan can be one of the best of all time” a VERY hard sell to a more discerning & critical fan base.
