As I saw it, Devin's father's over the top comments never sat well and comments like "if he dies he dies" right before fighting a guy that was clearly unstable didn't help. I knew Ryan was mentally unstable and hoped the fight would be called off, but I don't believe anyone, including myself, knew he was cheating.
Now after the fact, after all that has come to light, Ryan may still have some fans but they aren't what I would consider real boxing fans, not really, not after what he has said and done. If Ryan ever fights again, I predict people will tune in just to watch Ryan take a well deserved ass whooping....and he will, mark my words.
As for the racists, there is certainly an element of loud racially motivated ignorance that I personally have no use for. I often wonder if the unfair disdain coming from both sides towards Terrence Crawford is because of his darker complexion.
