Amir Khan booed at the Hatton Weigh In?

[Broxi]

OK, that was a stick on bet to happen, he's more or less on Team Pacquiao even though he's been very careful not to show direct support to either of them and it did make me laugh a bit.

I don't think that was Amirs best idea to go out there but it looked like it got him and he was fairly annoyed. It looked like that stage was the last place on earth he wanted to be ... what do you think of the booing from the Brit fans?

Fair, unfair or a bit harsh?

[GazOC]

Very harsh.

[Jack Dempsey]

It's idiotic if you ask me and symptomatic of the sort of morons Hatton attracts, it's the football mentality methinks

[TheUzi]

Got to remember,Amir/Hatton is a fight thats been talked about lately so lets not all jump to conclusions.

[El Cepillo]

It's pathetic.

[Broxi]

I don't think that was on their mind to be fair, I think it was part Amirs connection to Wild Card & Amirs reputation as a disliked hyped up Frank ****** fighter. I thought it was pretty bad form, if they didn't want to show support to him that could have at least give him a lethargic but respectful clap.

Hopkins getting booed isn't a problem because he's an old hand at this shit and he feeds off that role. When you boo B-Hop, it's like a pantomime type boo.

I think peop[le need to remember what age Amir Khan is.

[draw99]

I think the fans can boo or cheer whoever they want.

Its all a bit of fun and good banter at the end of the day - the Hatton-Pac weigh in was like a pantomine! Mosley, De la Hoya cheered. Hopkins and Khan booed.

I'm sure all the booed fighters are big enough to take it on the chin. (maybe not Khan!)

[sinner78]

If you cant handle booing ,get a new job.
Not everyone can be popular.

[saturday_kid]

It was a bit harsh I thought, I'd rather people get behind Khan, but people pay their hard earnt money to go over there they got the right to boo or cheer who they want. I wouldnt mind being booed every day of the week if I had Khan's money.

agreed :good
But i think it could be character building for the lad too. IF him and hatton do fight further down the road then he at least knows what to expect. but yeah i think the connection to wild card and the fact a lot of brits dont like kahn had a lot to do with it too, but it must have been obvious to him that it was bound to happen, so it shows a bit of bottle on amir's part for turning up anyway.

[Dan684]

Khan obviously didn't want to be on that stage there, and after the reception he got can you blame him. I thought it was pretty shameful really that BRITS should pay all that money and travel all the way over there and then boo one of there own in front of millions on TV. It's not like Amir Khan's disrespectful of cocky to the extent of Naz. He says some stupid things yes, but come on he's 22 and a brit for christs sake. I dont like Calzaghe but i'd never ever boo him, ESPECIALLY OVER ON FOREIGN GROUNDS IN FRONT OF THE WORLDS MEDIA. To me it just let the fans down again as did the whole 'national anthem' thing

[avidlemon]

It is typical of our ridiculous british mentalility to not get behind our own. Granted khan can be a gobshite sometimes, but tell me a 22 year old who can't every now and then. Christ JC is 37 and he still spouts some utter shite

Sometimes to me I just get the impression that it must be a football thing. ?? Its the kind of thing English football fans do.... Boo other national anthems, berate our own English players in club matches ie Beckham throughout the whole season after World Cup 98.

Any agree ?

[sinner78]

The people came to see Hatton and no one else.
lets say you're a football fan who supports Arsenal (for example) and a tottenham player comes out on the pitch!! he gets booed. Its nothing personal ,he just gets booed.

Khan got booed by people who dont support him. They didnt come to see khan.

Nah, its not the same mate. They could have just clapped. They booed and Englishman on American turf infront of the worlds media.

Its not like they're rivals. Amir is always very respectful of Hatton so they could have just done nothing, not even clap. They went out of there way to ridicula him. Cunts

I guess some consider khan to be aligned with the roach/pacman camp. Some just plain dont like him.

Perfectly fair. Khan deserves it for being him.

[Dan684]

Thats the reason it must be but its daft really I mean it's not like he's doing it out of spite. He needed all the help possible with his career after the Prescott fight.

[icemax]

Its pretty lame really, Khan couldn't be more hated if he appeared in public all the time with a body bomb strapped on and with suicide bomber tattooed on his forehead. It is fairly obvious that the British public will not and has not taken to him for whatever reason, and that situation won't change...if I were him I would just get on with it, fuck the UK, base myself in the US and play the bad man when fighting in Britain

Felt really sorrry for him. He's a fucking Olympic hero yet a lot of Brits treat him like shite. He doesnt seem very self confident as it is. Last thing he needs is mindless hate

[faisal]

i dislike khan because he isnt the goods but it pisses me off when ppl deny the fact that racism isnt involved in some of khans hate (i was annoyed that he was sharing the same stage as ODLH and JMM)

[saturday_kid]

I wouldnt say its hardcore racism or that Hatton's fans are racist its just most Hatton fans (unlike us on here) are less boxing fans more just football fan types, and the sad fact is that there still is that underlying xenophobic issue with a minority of dickheads.

[box-now]

He's not liked he just has to except it, it wont be the first or last time it happens.

[trotter]

Thing is some people want to say the antipathy towards Kahn 'is racism plain and simple' and others want to outright deny it and put it down to hype / his personality

The truth lies somewhere inbetween

He has to work harder for acceptance because of his ethnicity and people are quicker to turn against him - and a small minority will just never support him


Then again this booing lark is probably as much to do with him being seen as one of Pac's camp. Like the Hatton fans booing the Yank anthem against Floyd - it's probably being taken a bit out of context.

[brown bomber]

Only a few idiots booed.... Sure he's not too upset.

[BIG WORM]

he says some dumb shit, but people are too harsh on him!

you can tell he means well

[manbearpig]

Spot on thats the real underlying reason. Then again can't blame them after the London bombings Khan the idiot said we should forget about the bombings and move forward (just a week after the bombings). He brings it on himself with his constant b/s talk.
Racist nonsense.
Is hating ALL Irish people justified due to the IRA bombings?

Fucking tripe.

exactly, blown right out of proportion. i had to fucking rewind it twice and listen for the boo's. yeah there was a few, but there's always a few dickheads in any crowd and there was plenty of cheers too.

[El Cepillo]

"There's only one De La Hoya"

:good

[kerrminator]

Its fuck all to do with race or religion. I followed him through his olympic adventure and was a huge fan then his first few pro fight he started acting and sounding like a cock. Not forgetting of course the fact we are expected to pay £15 PPV to watch him fight a bunch of guys who are either too old or not heard of or what not. OK, he is fighting kotelnik next but its far from PPV worthy. If he keeps his mouth shut and just lets his boxing do the talkiong then perhaps he would have more fans. I for one think the damage is already done and its irreversable so he will always be the guy I love to hate and will enjoy his next visit to the canvas.

Amir has a lot of bridge building to do and it wont be done overnight. Im fed up with some people spitting out the dummy and claiming its a race thing coz even if it is for a small few it isnt for me and I dont appreciate being tarred with that brush, especially after explaining my reasons several times (as have many others on this forum)

rant over ;)

[kerrminator]

for the record, I'd have booed aswell :D

[rumour24tiger]

khan's helping the other side

Exactly thats my reason for not liking him (I have warmed to him recently though) but there is some idiots (not boxing fans really) who plain just dont like him because of his race, these are in the minority though and I'd say most people dont like him for the reasons you stated.

[rumour24tiger]

what do you except the kid is a **** and a muslim, not the greatest mixer to have in a westen country for supporti think that is part of his appeal, that he is a "good muslim" at a time when things have been tense or paranoid. he has the medal, and he is the right face in the right race, which gets him loads of publicity.

i'd say the internet fans seem to have something against him because of the shifty FW matchmaking and the greed involved - having to fork out PPV each time, for a fighter who was stopped in a round.

however the pay off is that to justify the PPV, fights like khan-kotelnik get made, which is a plus.

many ppl will like him more when he fights tougher comp, guys his own size/bigger

hopefulyl one day it will be khan v hatton. these 2 will split the fans right down the middle. there will be some khan hate, but i'm sure there will also be lots of support.

[Darni187]

It's so nice to see our own fighter getting booed abroad in front of the world media by our own fans.

Doing our country proud well done Hatton fans :happy

Khan must feel so proud to be British.

[SouthpawSlayer]

does anyone else think when watching the recent interviews with khan that when he says its a 50 50 fight he is talking shit, part of me feels khan knows deep down manny is gonna be too much for ricky i can sence it in his voice, he is a terrible liar

he is just saying it as he knows how popular hatton is and dont want to ruffle any more feathers

[Dan684]

Darni187 - Correct pal.
And it IS down to Racism. Its not his fault that Frank ****** is bleeding the public and using Khan as a scapegoat. Xenophobic football fans. Same nob heads who let us down before in International Competitions. Same nob heads who boo American National anthems. A lot of Hattons Fans (not all i must add) are a bunch of arseholes who know nothing about Boxing and have jumped on the whole Bandwagon due to his open love of all things Football/City. Discgrace. I was at the presser outside the town hall in Manchester for the Floyd fight and people were actually throwing things at Mayweather, what kind of boxing fans (or sports fans in general) do that to a professional sportsman.

Exactly

[icemax]

I'm sorry to say, and I will get completely brickbatted here, that an awful lot of the hate shown towards Khan is race driven...not here amongst hard core fight fans, but out in the general populace.

[SouthpawSlayer]

hatton fans are senseless football thugs who know fuck all but to start chants like WHO ARE YA WHO ARE YA to floyd mayweather jr, i mean how dumb was that

also to boo the national anthem of the worlds greatest boxer of the decade is pure ignorance, no matter who you are as a boxing fan we all respect mayweather, we all hate his brash flash lifestyle and attitude but the respect is always gonna be there

[h13vyy]

I'm sorry to say, and I will get completely brickbatted here, that an awful lot of the hate shown towards Khan is race driven...not here amongst hard core fight fans, but out in the general populace.

Agreed. To true boxing fans, saying the hate on amir is race related would sound ridiculous to them simply because it never even crossed their minds, but we have to remember the world outside the boxing world, is totally different.

[Dan684]

Both of you (hi3vyy and icemax) are correct. I know people, even people I consider to be close friends to me who dont like Khan because he is a muslim.

[widdy]

you know,u all go on about English fans boo this and English fans boo that,it not so long ago that when jennings got in the ring against cotto he was boo'ed to fuck,seems some of you just like avin a go at English(british)fans but its done everywhere but us good old English(british) always get it in the neck.

[Dan684]

Widdy - Correct but they dont boo their own like they did last night and also have you heard of the saying "2 wrongs dont make a right"

[ishy]

I'm sorry to say, and I will get completely brickbatted here, that an awful lot of the hate shown towards Khan is race driven...not here amongst hard core fight fans, but out in the general populace.

I think that's true. Amongst boxing fans there's not hatred for Khan because of his race. It's because of the hype and shit talking he USED TO do.

However, for the casual fan race probably is an issue.

On the flip side, you have Asians who support Khan only because he is "one of us".

[h13vyy]

Both of you (hi3vyy and icemax) are correct. I know people, even people I consider to be close friends to me who dont like Khan because he is a muslim.

hmm it's a shame isn't it. It's just the way the media portrays muslims which is the root cause of the problem. A minority of muslims are a problem just like any other race/religion.

Anyway that's how it is, no point dwelling on it. As long you know your open minded and can come to your own decisions rather than following then your ok.

[widdy]

possibly the only countrys i not heard booing(on tv) is eastern euro,im sure the crowds are wind up.
i know what you saying dan,but ive heard mayweather boo'ed before,BUT a lot of the fans who do boo are possibly footy thugs,who in my little mind are nowt worth getting worried about anyhow,just say boo back and most wud run off:lama:lama:lama err on there lamas

[Redondo5]

are there any vids showing khan and hopkins getting jeered by the crowd?

[icemax]

Succinctly put :thumbsup

[manbearpig]

Khan said it was a tragedy and he hoped people could move on and not discriminate against Muslims, no?
He may have put it in more eloquent terms, but I think I've basically summed it up.
So if an Irishman had said after an IRA bombing "What a tragedy, I hope Britain doesn't hate all us Irish folk now" you'd hate him?

Brilliant.


On a side note, I don't think the hate for Khan is racist, it's arsehole-ist. People who don't like arseholes just don't seem to like Amir Khan, go figure.
I do think it's shite that British fans are booing the wee man when he's in America though. Support our own, always!

[cityofgod]

allot of hattons fans are racists

what do you mean?

thats a broad-brush attitude there..

In other words, you think because they are mostly white, they are racist?

The bottom line is, if Jame Degale was up there too, he'd have got booed as well and it's because he's waaaaaay to famous for fighting nobody and for not taking any risks whatsoever in his manufactured career.

[Redondo5]

Apart from being an arse at times..Khan also suffers from being put in the same category as Naz or is likened to Naz at least - This is done by all the casual fight fans and those with little knowledge about the sweet science.

As most of these footie type fans see Naz's image as a cocky twat who got rich had an accident and got what he deserved in the ring....They liken Khan to Naz as he has brown skin, and also had an car accident and is also getting a lot of fame and money at a young age

[namsu55]

Khan will get hated for many reasons until he is finished for being a ****stani and Muslim and also for things he says. This is a boxing website we are boxing fans. Most of us will only judge him solely on what he does when he steps in the ring. Let them boo him, its harsh but they are just a sad bunch.

[sinner78]

If Hatton went up in front of a rabid crowd of muslim Khan fans he would likely get booed.
Its time to move on and forget it.

People have had hassle at Khan fights. Its been documented in here afew times.

:good:good

[mbrockett]

the thing i dont get is that its said that these are the casual fans that boo him. but its the casual fans which arent really aware of the easy fights that have been put his way, and probly arent going to be aware of every soundbite that comes out of his mouth either. i would say these are the reasons that alot of serious boxing fans dislike him.
the average 'hatton fan' probably dislikes him because he isnt hatton, isnt a white 'one of us' character, and prob also because they see him as a failure after getting knocked out by someone they had never heard of.

[Dan684]

I'm not a Blue Widdy, sorry :-)

[dwilson]

I am really tired of all the racist haters. Khan is the greatest.

[slip&counter]

many of those booing him were also at his last fight putting money in his pockets, so get over it

he didn't get booed when introduced on the stage for the JC/hopkins weigh in, so whats happened since?

HE'S BEEN STARCHED
JOINED THE PACQUIAO CAMP
GONE ON PPV

[PrideOfWales]

I was out for Calzaghe-Hopkins last year and Khan was cheered. I wasn't expecting that and it was a refreshing change.

Actually all the boxers introduced were cheered - especially Rrrrrrrrrrrroy Jones Jnr - although Khan and RJJ had about the same amount of volume.

Shannon Briggs had the "He's got a pineapple on his head" song... and obviosly Hopkins got booed!

so ignorant...what is this, the roaring twenties??

what's this about amir khan's comments - he's never said anything remotely annoying, arrogant or controversial. doesn't talk about himself in the third person like hatton either.

[mugen82]

The booing Is quite pathetic really, and the biggest shame is that Amir doesnt have the personality or enough of a mastery over the english language to give some stick back to this bunch of unclassy Chavs, Eubank or Hamed Style.

Anyway nothing Amir has ever said could ever compare to Ricky Hatton claiming he has quick hands lol. Now that deserves some boo's.

WTF??

Complete bullshit of the highest order. And im afraid the first geniuine answer you are likely to see on these pages on why Khan gets booed by Hatton fans. Because the Muslims would do it to us?.

Like they did to Enzo and Cook???

No, the embarrising behaviour of Hatton fans, which will be evident later, is soley down to the English Football faction that follow Hatton everywhere like he is a team. The same folk that assume if you like Khan you are both rabid and a Muslim. Daft Cunt.

Its not only the football thing though i agree its part of it.

I would also like to comment on this muslim thing. From the interviews ive heard, khan has done hes best to keep himself 'within the british'. i.e hes a brit like you and hes proud of it etc--even catching some stick for it.

IF he was for eg. an outspoken suicide bomber supporter, or whatever else those sick cowards do-then i could totally understand any hate he gets. I dont seem to remember him connecting himself to any of that

It's a big part of his travelling fans. Though not on here I give you. Like the guy I was responding to said it wasnt all the Hatton fans, i should have said that, fair enough.


Khan is targeted in some parts of the Muslim comunity for wearing the Union Jack on his shorts, and especially for when he carried the UJ into the ring after 7/7. He gets it from all sides.
