Comments Thread For: Khan: There Will Be More British Flags Than Mexican Flags in Vegas

[TheCleaner]

khan doesn't have a massive British following like hatton, theres a lot linked to his man city roots that gave him such a fan base, even Americans have picked up on that when they cast Tony bellew in creed with references all over about Everton. khan hasn't endeared himself to anyone in the last few years with all the delusional arrogant crap he chats, and he's a man u 'fan' so even further alienates his local hometown boxing casuals

boxing gets huge ppv and gates in the UK because of football, hearn has sky sports, and anyone into football watches sky sports news a lot when there isn't football on, so it's easy to show highlights and rivalry, plugging all day long. it's building the fight with a demographic that likes to have a drink on a Saturday after the footy and boxing fits it perfectly, especially with big domestic fights that hark to a traditional darby, like Manchester v Liverpool, etc.

How many Pakistani flags?

Sorry khan but your wrong on this one. You abandoned the uk fans you'd rather be famous these days or so it seems. I'll respect him and i kind of like him but thats only because i appreciate his potential ability. sucks cause if khan was white he'd probably be loved by the uk. Canelo is an actual mexican and can call it his home without racial hatred he will have more fans

No. Just no. Nothing like a good laugh to start my morning. Thanks Khan.

Khan's so used to fighting on enemy territory now, away from home, the flags don't really matter anymore. That guy has fought on enemy territory without home advantage in 8 of his last 10 fights.. Wtf, who does that?

A guy who's running away from a fight at Wembley Stadium that he knows he can't win.

9/11 fights have been in America.

And Virgil Hunter will be raising a white flag in about round 3.

No there won't. This dude is delusional.

There wasn't even that many flags in his fight against algeri last year. You fighting the most popular Mexican in Vegas where Mexicans always fill up arenas. This will be a heavy pro canelo crowd khan is just an idiot who talks a lot of non sense. You ain't Hatton bro and canelo ain't Mayweather.

If his skin was a bit lighter they'd fly over there. Brits are renowned for their ingrained racism. They like to talk PC and what not, but their racist inclinations always come to surface like this. That's why Americans are better in this regard. The dirtiest, racist red neck from the deep south will support a black American fighter if he says he's fighting for America, whereas the English never truly accept a black/brown fighter as one of their own, they can't help it, they're fiendish and still have that "plant a flag and it's yours, scorch the earth, they're savages" mentality. It's also why most of them look utterly drab and devoid of any signs of exoticness, because they don't mingle with other races and all of them end up with the same mashed potato faces.
