That what America is lacking getting behind their fighters..Mexico,Puerto Ricans,Pinoys..Even Tunney and his Neo Nazis all stand behind their fighters...America needs to stand up and represent...............Stand behind our fighters instead of complaining...

Hate to be *that guy, but, America is a big ass place not limited to the US.
Also, I disagree, support exciting boxers you like, regardless where they come from; but, it's more than fine to feel pride when a home town boxer wins.
boxing is not really a factor in the US if you think about it, boxing is BEHIND MMA in the US to be brutally honest, MMA don't depend on 1 or 2 Stars, they have MULTIPLE compared to Boxing who only have 2 LEGIT SUPERSTARS (Mayweather and Pacquiao)
thanks to Pacquiao and Mayweather...BOXING FANS ARE SPLIT NOW! And the RACISM IN BOXING is at a All Time High which is funny because Bob Arum was accusing MMA Fans at Being Racist a few years ago lol
So you have these Boxing fans who only watch when those guys are fighting but they don't support anyone else
those two are the only fighters that can get fans to come out and see their bout when fighting in the US...other fighters you will notice A LOT OF EMPTY SEATS at their fights
Adamek vs Vitali is expecting to have what 40,000 in attendance??? :no:
America SUCKS when it comes to supporting their own, it is so many bandwagon jumpers in America, they love you today then hate you tomorrow for NO REASON
one huge advantage MMA/UFC will have is its popularity with YOUNGER FANS! that could pay off in the future big time, plus Dana White give the fans the matches THEY WANT TO SEE...BOXING DON'T!
Here's an outrageous idea: just support the fighters you like, no matter their nationality.
That sounds about right. Nationality will always have atleast alittle to do with some peoples view on a boxer, but it should not blind you.

Yep patriotism really is a fool’s pride imo.
I mean does it really make a difference to anyone if a fighter happens to be born on the same rock of land as them or not?
