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.

Hey Missy Ive never disagreed with you before in the past but I do here . . . . I think its actaully a good thing that they seperate us from the Khan fans for their own saftey and Id advise them to do the same thing on March 14th particularly if Khan wins

As for this whole race thing I didnt realise there was an issue but Ive noticed when I insult Pac fans they always play the race card too. Maybe its just a defence mechanism for asians

Either way, regardless who is the opposite corner I will always back Barrera & if that makes me racist then so be it .
