Originally posted by The Weebler II View PostI don't think Americans are really like Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, Filipinos and Brits in terms of supporting fighters based on nationality. As far as I've seen they tend to support ethnically or on locality (fans support a fighter from their local city) but rarely do they support nationally.
A lot of American fans will even support foreign fighters over their local fighters as long as they're more entertaining.
I can see a lot of Americans supporting Canelo (even non Mexi-Americans) over Mayweather whereas even though at the time Eubank wasn't popular Brits would never have supported Rocchegiani or another foreign fighter over Eubank.

The US does have the best locations and money for boxing I agree, but it can be so bias for one fighter that it is a disgrace.
The same is said for the UK too. However it appears that a lot of boxers don't want rematches these days.
