    They should have pulled the plug on this lunatic a while ago. Now hes calling out Cotto. When will Americans stop supporting this idiot. Is it some sort of macabre fascination, seeing him get knocked out?

    he draws in the crowds, just look at the number of threads created on him in the last 3 days......good or bad....people want to talk about him and he doesn't hide from a fight...plus having a glass chin is fun to watch

    on the other hand how can they support someone like mandatory king kell brook who hides in the uk and only takes easy fights? hard to sell

    I'm pretty sure that his fan base is ten times as big in the UK. He's not really popular at all in the States.

    I would get it if he was winning big fights and had a massive fan base. Truth is he's getting knocked out every time he stepped up and everyone is ridiculing him.

    The UK stations see him as a sore loser and glass chinned nobody. What do the US TV networks see in Khan?

    Does he bring in big ratings in the US? And if so, how? He has never won a big fight, or shown anything that establishes him as an elite fighter.

    They aren't supporting him lol.. They were supporting Canelo. Khan brought a lil something to the table. Now, he won't get that support unless it is against a Bradley or Cotto. Otherwise he's finished in Vegas and will be back home making money.
