The crowd in Vegas will have a large swath of Brits as well as Americans rooting for Calzaghe. As a war veteran, the booing of our anthem was all that was needed to make me root very hard for Mayweather, who I respect but don't care much for. I'm aware that in British culture they boo the anthems of other countries at soccer games(Dont know the extent of it). That being said, any Brits lucky enough to go to the fight please show class and remain silent during the anthem. Most Americans found it offensive. ALL Americans that have served this country through the armed forces found it offensive.
well, i'm going to the fight and i will say this, if any muthafucker around me boos the national anthem, i'm going to throw that disrespectful sack of shit down the stairs.............................and i'm not kidding either. fuck that.
unless they kick your ass first
If I ever get to London maybe I'll go knock one of those stupid big black hats off those guys in red who don't say anything or move.
lol! lol! lol! lol! thatz whatz up fam!
they WILL boo again! while the anthem is being sung and when the ref raises Bernard's hand and says "the winner and STILL the Universally recognized Lightheavyweight Champion!! Bernard "The Executioner Hopkins!" the boo birds will start singin, not only in Vegas but all over this forum also! The cry babies will be booin all over these threads!
I got a 100k on that!:boxing:
I was listening to adam carolla on the radio not to long ago and he was talking about the floyd vs hatton fight since he was there. He said he could not understand why who ever is in charge of the big screen at the fight should clips of floyd during the anthem. since the whole night all the british fans would boo everytime they saw floyd on the big screen. You would think that they would have figured it out before the anthems.
I'm pretty sure that was the reason hatton fans were booing during the anthem because it a pretty class less to boo a nations anthem.
No, it was because of the National anthem. The only other time they booed like that was during Floyd's introduction.
fans here have booed anthems in the past. i think they booed at the lacy-calzaghe fight aswell. im quite suprised a riot never breaks out.

You mean a 43 year old guy. Most say the fight will be Calzaghe by decision. Could be. Pretty pathetic that this is the best competition Joe C has faced in his career.
Calzaghe will beat anyone from MW - LHW
Who gives a fuck, if you don't like British fans coming over and booing the national anthem, then get together some people and when they start booing, crack them over the fuking head. That will make them stop, I guarantee it.
American fans can be such pussies at times......what happened to the good ol' days.
lol
You have no choice boy
Sorry I don't know about the differences between the following of a British fighter and one from Wales....don't quite know how this has anything to with my edjamkation. Do you know the differences in how Oakland Raiders fans and Kansas City Chiefs fans conduct themselves? Probably not so blow my cock
Are you really that dumb?
Its called laws and jail time. And if I could afford to be in a megafight, I would do nothing to get kicked out of it. And after their fighter was thouroughly worked, what could they really say.
Then don't bitch an whine about it then. If your unwilling to do something about it, it's useless hu?
You can't let people come and disrespect like that without consequences. I bet if a bunch of American's went to England and did the same, they would get the shit kicked out of them...guaranteed.
We have gotten soft in America......jail time or not.
All joking aside i do believe this fight is acceptable so Calzaghe can get his name into the states but.. I really think his next fight should be dangerous or very competitive.. Not Taylor moving up in weight or old RJJ.. I guess we'll wait and see if his next step is correct.
I agree. Regardless that he has a weak resume he's coming over. I don't see how he can put himself in Marciano's stature. ridiculous.

Yes and the welsh fans will feign support for their fighter by booing another country's anthem. They will need to find some way to support him as his resume is empty and his bout with a 40 year old man is empty. After B-hop is completely dismantled his fans will turn to one another and comment on how incredible a pugilist Calzaghe is. They'll get back on their flights home to Wales and Calzaghe's legacy will still be the paper tragedy that it will always be.. but hey that's just my opinion.

Yes thousands will feign patriotism and be appalled when the anthem gets bood again. Then they will proceed to drink beer all night, vomit all over themselves, then go eat big macs and large fries with a gallon of Coca Cola. The next morning all will be well once more, unless Janet Jackson sneaks into the fight and shows her boob, then the US will be in utter chaos.
