Is anyone irritated that the Brits play music during Hatton fights?

    I don't see how anyone can consider the singing annoying. What's annoying about a bunch of people singing and having a good time at a fight?

    Would you prefer for the crowd to be silent and the only noise heard is from the two people fighting in the ring? I'm sure boxing will become a main stream sport then.

      I love it.

      They make the event even more fun. I was chillin' at the MGM Grand pool all week and they were a blast. Fun, cool, drunk people.

        naw, man, it makes for a great atmosphere at the fights, i love going to hattons fights out here on vegas, it seems how it would be back in the day, its how support should be for a fighter.

        thats why i love all mexican fights, they get into it. the best is mexico vs puerto rico, tito vs vargas was one of the best crowds and those people played music and sang and chanted.

        hamed vs barerra was another classic, brits vs mexico, it was awesome, chanting and yelling and singing, back and forth, both sides trying to make more noise, great atmosphere.


        i wish fight crowds were more like it out here in the states, being at a fight live is awesome, and being at a fight with the crowd going crazy is better, remember the crowd can totally make a fight great fun or dull and life less. i prefer a loud and rowdy good time......


        that is why i have and will always take advantage of going over to the UK to watch a fight, if i can make it, after going to calzaghe vs kessler and seeing how it was over there first hand, and a couple of hatton fights here in vegas, i was hooked, **** is good times......

        i actually think that we over here in the states needs to step it up and have better crowds like they have, and do something just as involved as they do over there, it just makes for a better time in the whole of the experience.............

              The music represents excitement and the Brits know how to root for a fighter, thats for damn sure.

                It's like being at an England international football match. It keeps the atmosphere going, lifts the boxer's spirit. Awesome support.

                clearly none of you have been to a hatton fight... the atmosphere is unbelieveable... you talk about real fans... many of you dont even buy ppvs... these guys fly from britain and spend everything they have to watch there fighters... they can **** on the drums all day because they are the ones keeping this sport alive.

                      I have noticed this before, it seems louder when watching the UK version.

                      I think HBO turns the crowd noise down .

                      The entrances were really loud when i was watching on Sky Box Office last night.

                      I downloaded a HBO copy and you can hardly hear the music in the background. The crowd were also much louder on on Sky.

                      I've noticed this with other fights too.
