    As your boy would say, its all about making the most for yourself. Khan's in the "cheque cashing bidness".

    **** the other guy, **** whats right, you fight to support your family. Your career could be over any time so you have to maximise your earnings.

    Someone wrote on one of the other forums something which I think helps to make some people dislike him.

    He has a public image of being the role model, down to earth, young Bolton lad etc, this is the image the TK pr people push out. Talk's politely on TV and on interviews, politcally correct, tries not to say anything controversial. If you asked him which is better Oasis or Blur he'd say they are both great. This is like standard style in the UK for a 'person in the public eye'. You'll find the same public persona used by X-factor winners and the like. Not a bad thing.. however, if you go below the surface, he does have an opinion on things, does like flashy cars, expensive watches, hanging out with celebs.. which clashes with his managements image.. and in the process when he does those interviews, it makes some people feel like his being fake. A lot of the British public warm towards people who are themselves, 'Real' so to speak. If they think you're trying be someone else, then you're a ***** to them etc

    I can kind of understand this. IMHO if I was Khan i'd drop that public image, and in future just be himself. Ok, so he might not get invited to STOPBULLYINGUK.org grand opening at a local school, but he's getting on a bit now, no longer a teenager so shouldn't need to keep doing the role model stuff.

    Thanks for that boxing4eva. At least someone can at least give me a clear point on reasons in which they may not like Khan :good

    Firstly, i thought it was a typo but clearly not since your repeating it. It's racist. Secondly, Floyd comments were racist but I think he didn't say them with racial intent. Floyd just says whatever comes to his head. Anyway, you said Khan is different 'behind the scenes' then he is in front of the camera? Care to justify? Examples?

    yes it was a typo but this is not a lesson.

    That is not racist, so for an asian i say cook me some curry

    black man cook me some chicken

    or white man cook me bangers and mash

    i think you need to get out more clearly living in birmingham i would have thought you had a broader understanding of cultures since it is so diverse.

    I can understand native philipinos thinking that is racist as other cultures are not present in large numbers over there and they take it very bad.

    Can you see how pathetic that shows you out to be, especially how you contradicted yourself.

    If you came up to me and said 'cook me some curry', seriously mate, you would not be standing.

    Floyd said a racist comment. Stop trying to defend him.

    I think he's fine. I mean, there's something to be said about not being yourself given what the pop scene in the US is like what with all the Britney's and Miley Cyrus's going ballistic.

    I think he just needs to find his balance, maintain the public facade and his personal immaturity/partying/etc without pulling a Mayweather. He's in his 20's, that primetime for saying and doing stupid **** right? The 20's... damn I miss those days.

    What the hell? I said show me where I laughed with a troll and you quote a comment you already quoted before?

    You sound like an A class Secondary School dropout to me.
