    I was taking the piss by the way.

    Seriously though, I think its rather self-indulgent and ridiculous to play the American anthem when no Yanks are involved.

      I think all anthems are ridiculous and annoying..Of course I respect them, but they are irritating..We need to all have new remixed versions for anthems..

        Me. I am going to the fight and thats the least any event can do is have the hosts country national anthem. Having the three countries anthems builds the atmosphere in the building to a high.

          Im not that bothered. Just dont see the point if there isnt a Yank fighting. I will tolerate it though as long as its not some tooty fruity R Kelly wannabe that milks every last word like at Mayweather-Hatton. He deserved to get booed imo.

              You know what's so effed up. I've been at fights when RKelly is singing the national anthem.

              They boo the **** out of him before it starts (cuz of the underage girlie thing and all his legal ****), but as soon as that boy starts singing, they are applauding like a mofo and clapping like hell when it's over.

              It's the damndest thing.

                  They play it because its in American...and there will be Americans at the fight and watching it on tv ect...I wish they would just get rid of the anthems.

                    They probably cheer out of fear of getting a golden shower
