Why do people hate Amir Khan so much? (Ring article attached)

[Fenster]

I've honestly never heard anyone say they dislike Khan because of his Pakistani roots.

Maybe things are different in London?

Or maybe i don't know any racists.

I went to a Khan fight to offer some local support, not to Khan. They segregated the fans as they came in, an annoucement came over the speaker system about no racist chants etc not being tolerated and there was a big police pressence.

Annoyed the hell out of me. Especially when a group of lads, all asian, all sporting Khan tracksuits were sat in the opposing area. As the evening went on them were surrounded by police to protect them. They sat about grinning over the shoulders of the police as a few people were escourted out. The whole event had an air of wtf about it.

Nothing against them or Khan but, by forcing the fans to segregate and making an issue about Khans colour it draws attention to something that wasn't a problem until other people made it so. I've never been segregated like that in my life.

I don't like Warren and his overprotection of fighters. It harms the fighter and the quality of the sport in general and I don't like bangwaggons, so called fans who just sign up to a sole fighter based on whatever link they think they have with them.

Those who support Khan because of his ethnicity annoy me just as much as those who don't support him because of his ethnicity.

Which is pretty much the feeling I have toward pacfans in general. Hell at least they have a fighter that's done something to shout about.

Khan tracksuits? How old were they 11/12?

Why were the guys getting escorted out?

I can understand the support because of his ethnicity. Just like I understand why people see that as hypocritical/wrong.

I knew a few Pakistani muslims that would make a big deal about supporting Naz. Would give it the "he is one of us" line. Always found that a bit weird
