It will sell due to Birmingham’s huge Asian population.

It will sell out because Amir Khan is a draw.

Particularly among the Asian community.... Every fight I've been to of his he's had a healthy Asian following there.

Yh, he’a gonna get some local’s to fill the card. TBH, Khan’s a big enough draw himself, but will be good.

When he fought Dmitriy Salita, it was spot the white man. There were loads of Muslims and Jews and loads of scraps as well.

Did I say he wasn't a draw? All I said was he has a large Asian following which he has. At Braehead there was loads of Asian supporters there and they weren't there for anyone else apart from Khan. And there was one yellow and 4 black yeah

I was at that one mate. Was in same hotel as Kevin Mitchell. There was a lot of coked up Geordies causing shite at that. I was with my ex wife and ended up standing with these local lads and I disappeared to the toilet more than once

She was not happy! Always wondered why that marriage never worked out
