    I'm South Manchester myself. Lived in the city center on Tibb Street for 10 years.
    I think we all look forward to a skanky chicken dance.....especially by Khan for just for talking so much smack over the years.
    Let's hope we get our wish. I was going to have a little bet but I don't have faith in either of them. it's a coin toss for me at this point but would like Brook to win.

    It's just you are hearing it wrong, they are saying Boo-rook, Boo-rook.

    The story that Brook gave to that incident is still hilarious and makes no sense at all

    I'm glad that gentleman was able to find a machete and hack his way to freedom

    The Manchester Arena is literally one mile from where I work.

    The tickets sold out so fast I am annoyed I didnt get the chance to go.

    Khan getting the cheers is purely because he is the more popular fighter.

    I agree but lets be honest; they both are unlikable. Cornballs, really.

    Because there's a sizeable Asian population in the UK who get right behind Amir Khan.

    Khan has always been a crossover star in the UK.

    Also, he has an inbuilt fan base amongst the Pakistani community.

    Brook never had that kind of following. Brook was "just" a boxer so to speak.
