Why the hate against Khan? Come on in for the answer

[JazMerkin]

Having heard a fair bit of racial abuse hurled at him at the Hatton-Pacquiao weigh-in, yes there is obviously a strong racial element with 'some' people. BUT, not with everyone, part of it is just that British disease of disliking anyone who might be good at something. Another is that the media frequently misquote him than any other fighter I've seen. I've seen press conferences where he's been humble, and than the media drastically 'sex up' his quotes so he seems like a complete knob. Another is the Warren factor. It's the same reason people hate James DeGale, but not Darren Sutherland, because Warren has worked hard over the years to engender this hate for his guys, especially those he pushes a lot. It's not all racism, not with everyone, and I seriously think you need to realize that. With some peolple it most definitely is, but it's not just that. I do like him & am going to his next fight, he's a likable kid, but everyone can't like the same fighters.

People hate de Gale because of Warren? How do you work that out?

People hate De Gale including myself because again hes a big mouthed tool, i have seen him ono plenty of shows and again he is another loud mouth idiot, he only signed with Warren recently and most people who hate him now have hated him way before he signed with Warren.

Yeah, he's got a mouth, but so does George Groves, and people don't seem to hate him. The fact Groves is with Hayemaker I think benefits him, PR-wise.

Oh i see what you mean, but Groves is a bit under the radar and DE Gale is obvioulsy more famous becasue of his Olympic exploits.
