Some of the fans, although not all, were rude and disrespectful for voicing their opinions(booing) during the national anthem, but it is something that would happen every where else in the world where the US National athem is played.
It may have been somewhat political or just showing their disapproval for the American boxer, either way it was ignorant, and probably not directed at the people of America or America itself...because I believe most if not all British fans that were in attendance love being in Vegas.
It sucks that it was done in our own backyard- in the USA. But it also shows the freedom of speech that we have in this great country of ours.Comment

i was appalled at the way team hatton treated floyd mayweather at the weigh in and the behaviour of the british fans, i believe the majority of hatton fans are casual sports fans, theres no way a true boxing fan would disrespect mayweather like thatComment

Call it what you want, there's no excuse good enough for that type of behavior. Especially after America opened it's arms to Hatton. You can blame it on the football culture or whatever you want but at the end of the day there is no excuse to justify those actions.
What pisses me off most is most Europeans have an arrogant attitude towards Americans, calling us "barbaric" or "uncivil". If that wasn't the pot calling the kettle black I don't know what is, at least we respected your anthem.Comment

so its ok for mayweather to treat hatton the way he did?Comment

I made a post on Sunday morning apologising for the booing but some people need to get it in perspective.
It was disrespectful, distasteful and disappointing but it's not as if we Brits invaded your house on Christmas day and pissed on your kids.
There are better things to talk about.Comment
