I look forward to him fading away into that twilight world known as SKY SPORTS!.... 8)... removed from the conciousness of all but the most naive, desperate and filthy rich. :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

I guess I'm the moron. Thanks :roll: .

Asians stick together and get behind their own. They were out in force to watch him at the Guild Hall, Preston (I was there) and I see no reason to see why this will change when he turns pro. He will get a load of tickets to sell for every fight (like all Sportsnetwork fighters do) and he, or more likely his family, will sell them in their community. Why's that moronic?
Amirs probably got about 200 extended family who'll all expect free tickets.
