Why do people hate and like certain fighters?

[RockyKO]

For me personally, it has to do with their story line, style, nationality to a certain extent, and personality. I do like fighters I've been following for a long time just to see if they can make it or fail. I've seen a lot guys come through the rankings and the pundits, journalist and talking heads start hyping him up before he got KO. I know it's nationality for a lot of fans but I suspect that's more of a casual thing. Mexicans almost never root against their own guys unless they're fighting another Mexican. At least that's been my experience hanging around my co workers and such. I usually root for the Americans unless they get on my nerves.....Like Haney.....I can't stand Haney.

I think a lot of our preferences just come from who we grew up watching. I used to only care about heavy-handed brawlers because my dad and I watched those kinds of fights every Saturday night over pizza. But talking to fans outside your usual bubble really shifts your perspective.

I don't like Conor Benn because I've seen footages of him being an ******* to other boxers, seems like an egotistical maniac outside of the ring.

I'm sure he's a nice and lovely guy to those who know him on a personal level, but I just don't like his character and antics he displays. I don't think I'll ever be a fan of him.

Fighting preference.

I dont care about race/nationality. I want action, suspense and clean fights. I prefer boxer-punchers and bad asses. Not a fan of defense first type fighters. Never have, never will.

[OnePunch]

It’s petty but a r etarded fanbase can turn would be fans away from a fighter

Fanbases with zero historical context declaring their guy the goat when his record is far from it

the most recent fanbase being Oleksandr’s 3rd world ukrainies

TBud briefly with those afrocentric tribalists

manny’s paqturds again with the 3rd world education thinking

Those same people hated Bud with a passion when he was with Top Rank and didnt switch to Haymon.......
