Come on now, there's very little need for that. I was born on a council estate in Oldham, raised by a single mum and yes, we were on the dole. Keep in mind there ARE deviations from the standard. Personally, I'm reasonably educated, vote tory, and have mates who are from a veriety of socio-economic backgrounds. All I'm saying is tone it down on the class-hate.

I can see where you're coming from. But surely the majority of boxing fans are those working class types you're mentioning, as boxing is pretty much a working class sport. Being rowdy in itself is ok as long as people behave themselves. In fact, I think it's probably a good thing as it adds a lot of atmosphere. Obviously if people trash the place up and riot etc that's another story.
English football hooligans have done a much better job at dragging their country through the gutter than anything else. The worst of that is maybe in the past, though.Comment

LOL Everytime I click on one of your threads, I hear...... most of them are actually fans of Hatton, rather than fans of the sport, and its only his cross-pollination of the appeal between boxing and football ("soccer", for any Fat Yanks reading), by dint of being a twat, that makes him so popular.
The thing is, most of them are just - like Hatton himself - really, really, COMMON. If I were a boxer and my mum sat at ringside chewing gum I'd climb out of the ring and black the *****'s eyes for her.
What gets me is that 90% of Hatton's fans - you'll see this in their replies, coming up in just a couple of minutes - have zero education. They're sub-class, sub-level intelligence. Most of them are unemployed, living in caravans and doing a **** in a quarry to save having to use water flushing. It's actually a proven fact that 99% of Hatton fans don't wash their hands after going to the toilet and actually do a piss in the bath.
This is something that you'll NEVER hear from a Hatton fan:
No, instead, you'll hear:
I saw Larry Merchant interviewing some Hatton fans the other week, the ones playing the "there's only one Ricky Hatton (who gets KO'd in two rounds)" song. Playing the same song OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER. That's not the behaviour of a fan... that's the behaviour of a malajusted ******.
Okay, there's been the odd bad example over the years, like some Nigel Benn fans, though Hagler was given a nice reception when the crowd offered to pay him extra for his performance. But generally speaking this was how the average Englishman was seen around the world, pre-Hatton:
"I say, old man, I've just had tea with the Queen... it was absolutely spiffing, what?"
This is how they're seen, post-Hatton:
"ENGURLUND!!!! I've just drank 50 fookin' lagers now I'm gonna fart in me pants!"
People like that are uneducated scum. They need shooting, but first, they need a ****ing bath.

I wouldnt call them unsociable. I met alot of Englishmen at bars when I used to travel for work alot around New Orleans, Hawaii, etc. 10 minutes after shootin the ****, everyone ends up trading rounds of drinks with each other. I wouldnt let a few hatton fans generalize the rest of their mates.Comment
