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

[Fenster]

People in Britain? Don't you mean SOME people?

Khan is one of the most popular fighters in Britain.

Who are these people that resent his success because of his ethnicity? Personally i don't know any.

If you dont know anybody who hates Khan just because he is Asian then you must live in a great place .

After his loss people were phoning radio5 live just to gloat.Sad but true.

You know, I actually saw this on TV. The host was actually SHOCKED! He stated something like 90% of British fans...90% of British Boxing fans that called in were actually HAPPY Khan was knocked out...

This is very misleading.

How many people had their views aired on the show? 20-30? How many actually phoned in - a few thousand? That small amount doesn't represent the views of 90% of British boxing fans.

Khan regularly had audiences of around 4-6 million on ITV. 90% of 6 million is 5,400,000.

So five million regular boxing viewers watched in the hope that Khan gets beaten? Complete nonsense. Khan does GREAT figures because he is POPULAR!!!

A live radio phone-in will naturally attract morons to gloat at others ill fortune. The radio station selects which calls to air. Controversial ones keep people listening and make for a better story

I don't hate him....i don't see why some like him so much when he's done much of nothing,(well he is a prospect and not to much should be expected of the kid yet), but for him to be on ppv is a joke. But if they get people to buy he's probably laughing a lot richer than most of us so who knows.
