I saw a story the other day about 10 tickets allocated to Khan. Christ, how many more does he want? He must be inviting the Hameds along. :wink:

He should be allocated the same as anyone else. If he wants anymore, he should use some of his grant to buy them up.

Surely this is bollocks or, at least, I hope so.

BBC -

Khan's father, Shajaad, told BBC Sport the organisers were only offering 10 tickets to Khan's boxing club for the event in Great Yarmouth.

The Olympic silver medallist had been set to face James Martin in the quarter-finals of the tournament in Yarmouth on Saturday.

"It's a joke that we've only been offered 10 tickets," said Shajaad.

"He's won three fights and he's got nothing left to prove in this event."

However, Khan's father said the dispute would not affect his son's boxing status.

"He's not going to turn professional because of this, not for the moment anyway," he added.

Quarter-finals...nothing left to prove...am I missing something? If they are playing Billy Big Bollocks now, what on earth will they be like when he is a pro?

from what ive seen of Amir he is staritng to belive his own hype, superstars was a classic example. cocky little shit.


he needs to settle down and get on with whats important learning his trade and developing.

he is getitng more asisstance than any other amatuer boxer in the country and should at least show some gratitude.

Ive got a funny feeling that the down to earth bolton lad, aint quite so down to earth anymore.

Khan will be a pro by next month. It's not all bad. He was too young to switch after the Olympics in my opinion but has now matured (physically) and is ready for the move.
The race is on to see who gets him.

fornicating jumped up little wanker why should he get any more tickets than anyone else? Go on sign for Allegedly, WBU champ by the end of the year. He's young enough to have a good go at beating Hatton's record for consecutive WBU defences. ;)

I think he will make Prince Hamed seem humble by comparison in a few years time. Sad Really.

Although I doubt he'll ever be as good as Hamed once was. Just the big bollocks and mouth.

Khan wanted 300 tickets for his supporters. I wonder if he'll box Kindelan in April because it's meant to be all the 4Nation winners fighting on that bill. allegedly is licking his lips, whilst Terry Edwards is shitting his underpants.

An argument over ticket allocation!!! :o

Very disappointing surely to a young ambitious Boxer the words "Amir Khan 2005 ABA Champion" should be the only thing on his mind right now?

300? Thats fornicating ridiculous. Losing more and more interest in this little prick by the day. Fingers crossed he gets beaten.

If he can't be arsed to try for the ABA title then somethings wrong somewhere. I read a bit on him the other day where he was saying how grounded he was, trouble os he seems to be grounded on another planet to ours! :x :x :x :x :x 8) :roll:

I can't believe this.

I hope the ABA don't pander to these demands. fornicate him.

Until he wins the title he's not proved a damn thing. :x

I can believe this. I better keep quiet because I have a habit of getting banned from forums for speaking the truth on this sort of subject.
