Khan - I couldn't work in an environment of hate

Khan seems to have a fair point.

[Boxing Prospect]

On the flip side he brought a lot of hate on himself by opening his mouth, as he's done again here...

[reggaereggae]

I'm shocked how marked up Khan is, considering he didn't take many shots

[Rodian]

Brits really hate Khan wow

[funso banjo baby]

khan's a good boy.

The problem with Amir Khan… is that he was only 17 years old when he entered the mainstream UK limelight and literally became an overnight global superstar (though perhaps not to the US audience).

As a young lad, he has made a load of mistakes that were heavily covered by the intrusive British media… and how many of us can honestly say that they never cocked up as a youngster (but our mistakes aren't published in the press). The thing is… one of his misdemeanours resulted in one of his driving accident victims to commit suicide, due to the severity of his injuries.

Amir Khan is arrogant, which is an essential part of a fighters make-up, but he's not media savvy, as the British public prefer modesty, which means that they often celebrate "losers" that keep trying (i.e. Frank Bruno) more than "winners" that exude confidence (i.e. Chris Eubank, Lennox Lewis, Naseem Hamed etc.).

I often wondered why Amir Khan was so unpopular, so I spent ten minutes researching the following and submitted it in an earlier post:

• Amir Khan was blamed for the death of man that subsequently died as a result of a car crash he was involved in (that happened in 2006), which left the victim spiralling into depression and a “broken” man…
• He didn’t learn from his mistakes, because in October 2007, he received a six months driving ban for driving without due care and attention.
• Three months later, he was given a further ban of 42 days after being caught driving at speeds of up to 145mph in the same car on the M62 motorway.
• Incidentally, his younger brother was also banned last year for driving more than twice the legal speed limit.
• In 2012, Amir Khan was involved in a brawl outside a Birmingham bar because he was “showing off” and annoying spectators at a city concert.
• Amir Khan moved to the US because of his dislike for some of the British fight fans, as it was “getting tougher and tougher” to live in the UK due to all the criticism he received.
• There was also criticism of the Khan family for allowing his younger brother (after declaring their so-called British patriotism) for competing for Pakistan rather than the UK at the Commonwealth Games.
• There are reports of Khan cheating on his wife (when they were engaged) whilst he was in Spain.
• In April this year, there were reports of him cheating again on his pregnant wife.
• Amir Khan posted a picture of himself on Twitter, brandishing cash and posing in front a woman who appeared to be pole dancing, whilst in Las Vegas.
• There are photos of an “apparently” drunk Amir Khan “on the lash” with Lewis Hamilton, leaving a night club, which apparently drew criticism from the Muslim community.
• Khan didn’t exactly cover himself in glory during and after the Lamont Peterson debacle, because of his constant moaning.

Caveat: I don’t know how accurate any of this information is, but these are the antics that the British media have reported.

If most of the above points are true, which we know for certain some of them are, coupled with his arrogance, then is it any wonder that there are certain members of the British community that dislike him?

Half of this list aren't reasons to not like someone ... unless you're some fake ass religious nut who believes life should spent following "god's" rules.

For normal people, not the general idiot that litters the US and UK, Khan isn't liked because he is OVERRATED and COCKY about it. That's it.

You forgot the one with him and his c.o.c.k out to some some bird on the net

[palooka]

England is a pretty shitty place to live if you've got the money to live in California, his career is based in the US, his trainer is based there, the weather is fantastic. I imagine Khan has a better life in the US.

And don't forget he is just a dick. This is one fighter i can not stand.

England is probably the best country in the world if you have some money?

It's probably the best place to make money if you already have money but the winters are shitty.

@fergusg......I need to be more than a tad careful here - as I still work in and around the car business - but some of the stuff you highlighted regarding the stupidity/recklessness with cars rings true.

Certain high-end performance manufacturers took a step back from loaning them cars for PR purposes. Most manufacturers do VIP loan deals in return for the publicity but the licences and various endorsements meant it was too much of a risk....additionally the expectation to add extra friends/advisers to the list was not viewed as being a good move; nobody is in the business of offering a +£150,000 car to give a celeb's mates/cousins a nice ride.

Best to leave at that.......decision to say no was actually made easy for insurance reasons.

[Batley18]

I don't think many of the items on this list are that common knowledge. People dislike Khan because he refers to himself in the third person, and is quite arrogant. I personally have no dislike for the guy, and when he has appeared on panel shows or interviews, I think he comes across quite well.

Either way, people should separate the man from the fighter. I much rather see Tyson Fury get a beating than Khan. I am also far more interested in how much he entertains me in the ring.

REALLY ???????????
I went to California for one night ,stayed in a hotel with blood stained carpet and thought i'd try and get some food for myself and girlfriend at a local burger joint and have never felt more intimidated in my life. The burger bar even had a security guard with a gun !
. We couldn't wait to get home to "shitty" England !

Mmmm… I think that accusations of adultery and injuring someone through careless actions, resulting in them taking their own life, are fairly significant reasons to dislike someone.

I also think that the pure accumulation of these errors must be quite irritating to some.

Can't believe I'm defending Khan, but i gotta be fair ...

First of all, I know this comes as a surprise to people from the US and UK, but bad things happen in life, it's inevitable for the most part. If you're so depressed about your car accident injuries, why don't you look at lives of people your government abuses so you can have enough gas to drive your cars. People who don't have to wait for a tragedy because their whole life is a tragedy,

Secondly, I don't know about the UK, but in the US, the sanctity of marriage and all that other bullshit is way past tired. Clearly, no on cares about it anymore. All these laws and traditions are forced on people and then they repeatedly fail at marriage because it's not a natural union. So I don't give a fornicate about adultery, and if more people were honest, they would admit it too. There are few men I know who would turn down a hot married woman, so stop acting like adultery is some kind of serious offense. You people agree to such pathetic lives based on rules that weren't even made with the best intentions, and most of the norms we live by weren't even well thought out in the first place.

Finally, Amir Khan just turned 28. Most people's brains don't fully mature until the mid 20's. So "you" idiots can spend your life hating 21 year olds for their mistakes.

[funso banjo baby]

nothing to do with racist dickweeds tho....?

ooooh no !

[Badhusker]

Khan just needs to stfu, and take a vacation. We have heard now 14000 times that he only wants and is begging for Floyd and Manny, we have heard how much he deserves it, that he will win. He has also said Brook needs to build his career some more before he fights him.

The guy is a dumb ass, and irritating as hell. If only his chin was as good as his ego. He beat two decent opponents at welter now, but lets remember he was put on his ass and in trouble several times against Diaz not too long ago. Keep up the good work, stay away from big punchers, and forget about Floyd and Manny.

only to those of a pathologically judgemental outlook that is priggish to the point of Victorian

what business is it of yours who a total stranger has sex with?

[Counter-puncher]

Also, the controversy surrounding Khan’s adultery relates to the seriousness of the offense in Islam. So I suspect that his fellow Muslims would frown upon Amir’s actions much more than the rest of society.

and now the Great One can speak for all muslims too

you really are a sanctimonious little man
