Khan is NOT that popular in the UK at all.
Nowhere near as popular as Hatton - no way 1000's of British fight fans would fly to the US to watch Khan fight.
Also PPV in the UK would not be huge either, most boxing fans I know would not stay awake until 5am to watch Amir Khan get KO'd.
Khan is hugely popular in Pakistan and with UK based Pakistani's, that's is about it in reality.

He is more appreciated by the educated and higher class white folk as well as by ethic groups.
basically most council trash scum hate his guts but rest think he's exciting boxer.

But...
Most of the boxing fans I know (and yes, some do live on a Council Estate) feel Khan is highly overrated and too much of a self publicist.
Many successful boxers are raised on Council Estate's in poverty -are you saying that they are all 'underclass scum'?
I didn't know that you had to be a) Educated, b) 'higher class and c) white to hold an opinion on a boxer's ability either...

Khan is a celebrity only and 95% of these much talked about twitter followers don't care/know when or who he last fought, or when and who he will next fight.
They probably just want to see some wedding pictures of his beautiful wife they've seen in OK! ****zine

So khan is more popular than Cotto, Canelo, and Manny Freaking pacquiao because...he has more twitter followers than them. Are you insane?
Here is hattons comeback fight when he lost to floyd, look how huge the crowd is, at 0:53
and heres khans after garcia
I rest my case, and there shouldn't even have been a case to begin with

Khans not the A side!
His popularity doesn't matter.
It's about how many people who don't know **** about boxing have heard of him and how many of those can be convinced this will be a great fight.
And since it will be an all time epic, it's not a hard sell.
