I'm new to this site so please explain all the hate???

[Chups]

It's the just the internet guys...in real life, PBF fans would stand beside Hatton for a pic. British Hatton fans would shake the hand of Floyd if they meet him. And most importantly Xcaret would never turn down a Pacquiao signature and would probably offer to suck Pac's **** too.

Can anyone explain why there is some much hate for Ricky Hatton or for that matter Floyd Mayweather.

I mean this is going to one of the biggest fights of the decade and yet many on here cannot help themselves???


I'm British and obviously like Hatton but I understand his flaws and accept them, he is a messy fighter but exciting and has a none stop style that keeps you glued to his fights. Outside the ring he is an approachable, respectful and likable guy. How can he be hated?

Mayweather based on my limited knowledge of the guy is flashy, brash and a bit arrogant but there is no getting away from his immense talent and ability.
Others in the past have had similar traits I recall Ali hitting a toy gorilla in the lead up to a Foreman fight etc so again why all the hate. for this particular guy?

This has the potential to be an all time great fight.

Its just a bit of fun.
People here are obviously passionate about the sport, and all of this bull**** is just part of the build up.
Both of these fighters are polar opposites, and their fans therefore tend to go on the attack rather than just support their fighter.

I dont think anyone loses any sleep over what is being said in these threads.

Its fairly obviuos that people are just bored and killing time before the fight actually takes place. Its typical internet bull****. Face to face things would be said very differently.
There is no real hatred.

That my whole point. In the majority of the threads I have read, posted in the last few weeks they seem to lead the argument so that it starts with 'hate'.

For example I wont name names but one thread was named 'Ricky Hatton just soiled himself' another was 'Ricky Hatton Guiness.... and Greed'
There are many many more.

Those threads cannot possibly be taken seriously. Like i said, its just ****** male dumbass fun.

I don't hate Mayweather. I can't hate someone I don't actually know in reality, as hate is such a strong emotion.

I just want him to die in the ring. Purely for comedy value. Or at least be cabbaged. I'm not fussy.

Man that **** is uncalled for you piece of ****. Watch what you wish for because it could happen to you *****. I hate to see people type tough **** and hide behind their computer.

That is a very round Booty....

I don't dislike either fighter.
I do match up styles and ability and now I have an idea of who I think will win.
Of course nothing is for certain but I highly doubt my predictions are wrong.

I'm new to this ite as well and recently got into watching the sport as well, I never liked watching sports but that's the thing about boxing it definately brings out lots of emotions from the fans. I love the adrenalin rush I get from watching a good fight. I haven't seen Hatton fight but I hear he's good and can't wait to watch. I hope its better than the Da La Hoya v/s Mayweather fight I was disappointed. I think that's what we like about it the agression and adrenalin we feel in our society today that tends to be muffled and frowned upon so I say let that ager and agressionout and enjoy a good fight, talk your trash.

Its a youth thing more than anything , most of the guys that come out with the flat insults are very young and driven by EGO and they havent out grown the mines better attitude and all this macho bull**** , life will sort that out for them over time but the anonymity of the internet makes them 10 ft tall .

That would explain about 75% of it. Cong**** Rod, we agree on something. The other 25% is misinterpreted as "hate" when it's actually legitimate debate by knowledgable boxing people.
