American arenas and big fights ...

[ALT-Assassin]

Insecure about what? I'm just highlighting the fact that boxing in America is not as revered as it once was.

I am talking about the thread starter.It is obvious to me that it is a bait thread trying to say that Britain is a better boxing nation just because the Arena didn't sell out.Maybe it would of sold out in Britain it still doesn't change the fact that alot of Americans bought the PPV.It balenced out.If the British were there the crowd may have been a little louder who knows?

In the USA the income is very different compared to Europe,Our middle class gets payed less compared to Britain and the value of our dollar is **** right now.You don't know anything so just be quiet.The airlines also upped their prices because of the rising gas prices.

Actually you're in recession so I can understand that.

If you look at the world economy everything is **** right now across Asia, Europe / including the UK due to high oil prices. Believe it or not, there is a world outside of America. And yes, I know the dollar is ****, it's been whack for sometime, your sub-prime mortgage market is also royally ****ed which has had a knock on effect over here because all our banks invested in the US housing market. What a balls up.

and British boxing has never been revered and never will be.

But its revered everytime an arena sells out or our fans travel thousands of miles across the atlantic without tickets to cheer on their favourite fighter.

Good point, that does take some balls.
Also the fact they book flights before a date is sorted and hope for the best.

Oh **** off you penis this is no bait thread im asking why it didn't do well and im yet to get an educated answer.

Just cause Brits came in here giving you abuse doesn't mean u started the thread with that purpose, Idiot.

Ive been to the Von trap Familys house and Amstadam to the Canibus Cup.Unlike many Americans I have a passport and use it to visit my cousins in spain.The banks are ******ed and gave out faulty loans and the fed had to bail them out.I heard there was a similar problem in Britian but as of now you are doing better and it will continue as we spiral down into debt because of this useless war that is unwinable.

Probably because were a small island and quite alien to huge events like this, If this fight was promoted right and it was really put across to the public how its such a worldwide event and one of the biggest fights in boxing, It would be HUGE and could sell out a big arena.

Which i thought was the case in the US ... But after seeing all those empty seats i wondered why it didn't and made this thread ... Stop getting all touchy and sensitive.

I'm not touchy about it and I don't really care how many people showed up to the fight. But, the facts are that this fight was more important to two races of people more so than any other regular boxing fan and last time I checked the US has more Mexicans and PR's than England. I sincerely doubt that the fight would do better in England.

No ,why dont you explain why such a huge fight was help at such a small venu ??????

Economy...popularity of boxing...

Because British Fans are all incompetent drunkards who dont know **** about boxing (this includes Setanta commentators)

You may not of attempted it that way,but some of your countrymen look for any chance to talk about America or Americans in a negative way like knows-jack over here.It goes both ways.
