Comments Thread For: Khan: Roach is Trying To 'Sabotage' My Mayweather Shot

[kafkod]

What is Khan's fanbase like over there? He obviously doesn't have a Hatton type following, but does he have the kind of fans that will travel over here to watch him fight Mayweather?

Khan used to be very popular here in the UK following his Olympic success. He had a lot female fans, white and Asian, so more like a premiership football star than a boxer in that respect.
His popularity has dipped in recent years though. A lot of people think he is arrogant, and of course, the political situation regarding Islam over here hasn't done him any favours at all in that respect.
I still think you would get a lot of British fans over if he fought Mayweather though, both ****** and none ******. Floyd against UK boxer would attract British fans, and Khan, love him or hate him, has a very high profile over here.
It would be very interesting to see how many fans Khan would attract from Pakistan and other ****** countries, and how the US security forces would cope with that situation. It could prove a real headache for them.

Hard to take anything Khan says seriously, when he said he sparred competitively with Ward, then Ward said they never sparred.

Who to believe?

Khan is probably the most well known active boxer in the UK but I don't think he has a massive fanbase that would travel to watch him fight. He'll take a decent following but nowhere near what Hatton did.

Pointless as always Dirkhead. You can't illustrate who's most famous, and all that actually means is who's had most media exposure. I reckon Froch is better known among casuals/norms and proper boxing fans know ALL the main players.

I’d like Floyd to make permanent retirement a condition of the contract for the loser. And for their Twitter account to be deleted. I wish Khan would stop fhuckin’ talking.

British star Amir Khan is claiming that his former trainer, Freddie Roach, is trying to sabotage his proposed 2015 clash with Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Khan faces Devon Alexander on Saturday night at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. If he wins, a Mayweather fight is a good possibility for next year.

During an interview last month, Roach claimed that his main fighter, WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao, had scored several knockdowns against Khan in their past sparring sessions.
