    He didnt KO him? That's a suprise, knowing Salita's Calderon-like power.

    His second fight in the US, not bad because he should get used to it.
    If he fights in Detroit then im sure Dirrel will pay him a visit

    Arabs dont really take to Pakistani's they see as lower class people, not all but some. But i guess if GBP done a good job promoting the fight to them he would get some support from the muslims brothers.

    I'm not sure what you mean. I was merely explaining the difference between Khan and Arab Muslims. However I think Schaeffer is either clutching at straws or misunderstands how different culturally Pakistani Muslims are to Arabs beyond the fact they are both Muslim. The fight will get a decent turnout even without it

    Sorry to be pedantic but Khan isn't from the Middle East, he's from Pakistan (Pakistani British that is). 3000km to the east. To put in context it's like saying someone from Germany is from the middle east, immigration jokes aside.

    "The city's population includes 30,000 Arab Americans. It has the largest proportion of Arab Americans for a city of its size (about 100,000).[11] The first Arabs who immigrated here in the early to mid-1900s to work in the automotive industry were chiefly Lebanese Christians (Syriac Maronites). Since then, Arab immigrants from Yemen, Iraq, and the Palestinian territories, most of whom are Muslim, have joined them. Lebanese Americans are still the most numerous group. The city is the location of the Islamic Center of America, the largest mosque in North America,[12] and the Dearborn Mosque. The Arab American population has settled primarily on the city's eastern side, though in recent years it has expanded west."

    detroit isnt that bad of a place at all. joe louis arena is a nice spot for fights and a nice arena overall. the city itself isnt all that but the arena and the neighoring areas are just fine.

    :lol:. There's a chance Malignaggi and Salita could be fighting. Malignaggi stepped into the ring and both didn't rule it out.

    Khan's ethnic backgound is not middle eastern, it's Pakistani. Pakistan is nearly 2000 miles away from the middle east. But i would guess that the Detroit locals would turn out to see a muslim fighter in decent numbers regardless.

    So true. Some people are so ignorant to the world.

    Arabs would probably be the last people turning out to see a Pakistani Muslim fight.
