    This is the biggest point of all. I think British fans are great and their passion for the sport is awesome. The fact that they travel huge distances to support their guy is great, too. But honestly, Brits - please don't question the U.S. fan base simply because we don't (all) support a loud-mouthed ponce who needs his ass kicked in the worst way. Some of us (and there's nothing wrong with those who DON'T feel this way) appreciate a little humility in a fighter. The ONLY person who has really brought up the "country vs. country" thing has been Floyd in a pathetic attempt to glean more PPV buys and make himself look better. Unfortunately when he's flipping off English fans and insulting everyone who doesn't have as much money as he does, its not hard to see through.

    But seriously, don't expect us to like the guy simply because we're Americans.

        As for why we don't travel around the world to support a fighter...we have lives,which does not evolve around idolatry.

        As for what you have done for us...call us even,if it wasn't for America you idiots would be speaking German now.

        I have been to England...and was I happy to get back home.I was surprised at how little amenities I take for granted here,were unavailable there.

        I don't know how many are coming over for the fight...but please,lets hope the same number leaves.



        Nah, the Soviet did most of the job, the war was already over when you guys faced Germany directly in 44. But that's something most Americans don't know, they think the world revolves around them.

          We invented the sandwich, you can't be even with us until you come up with something more life changing than the sandwich. Putting a little meat between two slices of bread. That's true ingenuity i'm sure we agree. Think about that next time you are in subway.

          On the thread, in all fairness Mayweather would have little support from Brits. Maybe the Americans are a little more like us in that they often support personalities and not just the best guys.

            Well, first that's not really true and even if it was, it's not something to be proud of (and I'm Canadian by the way).

              One thing many people fail to admit is that the size of the U.S.A. is a hell of a lot bigger than Britain, The Phillipines, Puerto Rico and a lot of these other countries with great fighters. That makes a huge difference. Just think about it for a second. Why do you think Kelly Pavliks peeps travel for him? Their aint nothing to do or nothing to back in Youngstown, OH but him right now. Due to the fact that the U.S.A. is so big, it is very hard for a fighter to have a huge following and the PPV makes it easier to stay home and watch the fight anyway. Once you check the populations of these countries versus the people who travel for the fight, you will see that the percentages will be a lot higher than what they are being made out to be. If Hattons backing was so big, then he would have been traveling out of country to fight a long time ago. Same thing goes for PBF. But their not dumb though. They know where the money is and they do what they got to do to make it.

                Hatton over mayweather
                hatton over de la hoya
                calzaghe over hopkins

                yeah baby


                Hatton fans are great, no doubt about that. Sounded awesome in at the weigh in i was waiting for them to rush the weigh in stage and beat down floyd, great atmosphere.

                    Tru fans travel half way around the world, to drink the same beer they could back home, in similar bars but go just to show their support at weigh-ins etc cos they cant get tickets.

                    The yanks dont get it though, they really dont understand it
                    Anything to get out of England, I guess.
