    A lot of this chat has been about Amir Khan, so correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Khan considered a "Euro?" I know he wasn't born in England, but I work at a Hotel here in Boston and i met him and his British accent was pretty thick.

    Dan Rafael (1:17 PM)


    Bingo!

    Khan has been rushed too much to build a proper British fanbase. He needed to stick with Warren and sell out more arenas in Britain first.

    you also said that Dan rafael along with other sources told you that the fight was close to a sellout , that turned out to be a lie.


    Did you honestly think he was gonna sell 12k in vegas?

    Yes, why not?

    I reckon it's done a lot more than the figures above mentioned. We'll see tommorow.

    They are giving loads away for free. Actual sold tickets i think will be 3k at best.

    Thats not my problem my problem is when you said close sources like dan rafael and shah khan and others said it was a near sellout when its clearly not true.

    Because neither of them are particularly massive names in boxing and neither of them is American
