I don't blame him, the white Brits have never liked Khan... I remember going to the Barrera fight and 90% of them were supporting Barrera, loads with Mexican hats and flags. Why not represent a nation where you'd get 100% support? Good on khan.

They have already selected the British team hence Khan can't rep GB. Also they are against it, they specifically mention Khan in the article.
British boxing ridicules plan to let professionals fight at Rio Olympics
GB Boxing is not expected to consider selecting any professional fighters for Rio. Ten British fighters – eight men and two women – have already qualified for the games, with only men’s welterweight and light-welterweight categories to fill. A spokesperson said: “Our efforts are focused on preparing our boxers for the next qualification event [in Baku] in mid-June when we hope to qualify the remaining two places.”
Robert Smith, the general secretary of the British Boxing Board of Control (BBBC), which oversees the UK’s professional boxing circuit, said the BBBC board was against the decision.
“We don’t think it’s a very sensible idea at all and ultimately possibly dangerous. There’s two different types of boxing, there’s amateurs and professionals. Professional boxers obviously do longer distance etc, and [have] more experience,” he said.
“These plans are ultimately for the well-known boxers to take part in the Olympics. Well, you could have the situation where Amir Khan could be drawn against a boxer with limited experience, and how can that be good for the sport?”Last edited by FrankieBruno; 06-01-2016, 07:08 PM.Comment

Go ask your average white person what they think of Khan.... He's fighting for Pakistan coz he knows he's hated by your average Brit. F**k what you think like I care, I know I'm right and there's nowt racist about it. The only thing racist is how everyone hates Khan just coz of his ethnicity... Nobody gives exciting fights like he does but the hate he gets is outrageous.Comment
