If KHAN-MAIDANA takes place in Manchester will you ppl support Amir or boo him again?

[wazaa]

Like you guys boo'd him at his last couple of fights in Manchester. That was a disgrace. You rarely see a home crowd booing their own fighter. You guys ask why Amir rather wants to fight in the US then in the UK (apart from money, fame and the training regime ofcourse)? Well, getting boo'd by people who aren't from your country is much easier to swallow then getting boo'd by your own countrymen.

That's why I'm hoping this fight is going to happen in the US, London or Newcastle. You people from Manchester don't deserve him. London and Newcastle have supported him like he is one of them. Especially Newcastle. Those people were very supportive at his last fight.

hey man thank you

If it were to occur in Manchester, I would definitely hit it up and support Khan. I don't understand why people boo him, I don't think it's very fair but I'd support him. What are the chances it happens in Manchester? As I thought he went over to the US in order to fight on cards over there and build his name in the US.

The participants decided that the match to determine the absolute champion will be done approximately end of March or beginning of April, it simply needs a site to be defined. However they are talking some cities have been mentioned as Manchester, England and Las Vegas as possible scenarios for the bout. "

There was very little booing at the Kotelnik fight from what I remembeer, but it is England and there will always be a few pissed up wankers in the crowd. I don't think it particularly says anything about Mancunians, the majority of people there probably weren't even mancs anyway.

As for the previous fight, well there was some significant booing but there were clearly a lot of people there just to see the legend Barrera in the flesh so I wouldn't read too much into it.

The fact is, Amir Khan draws bigger crowds than every other British boxer bar Hatton.

Well he fought Barrera in Mnachester. Legend with fans all over the world. Barrera had plaenty of fans in the arena. Isn't it also where he sparked out against Prescott? I cant remember if they were booing him before that or not though.

And im guessing he had over 90% support for the Barrera fight in the arena. Quit making out that he's hated when its obvious he's not. U cant expect everyone there to cheer him on. Its a sporting event. And even if people did turn up hoping to see him get KOd again - he still gets their money.

Khan will pull out with a fake injury and vacate two weeks before the fight.

He had to go through with this deal to save face but he has no intention of actually fighting Maidana.
