    Brits love Mayweather cause he knocked out their hero Hatton in a funny and very skillful way. He also made a lot of public workouts for his fight againt JMM.

I'M FROM THE DAMN BLACK COMMUNITY you ****head, so who knows more? you? LOL don't make me laugh, i'm not saying black brits don't support fighters of other races as Hatton has black fans himself but what i'm saying is Floyd is a hero in the black british community and will be supported without doubt when he faces Pac, what's so hard to understand about that? oh i get it, it's not painting a picture of "everyone hating Floyd" that's why!!, GROW UP.
        Floyd's entire character and public persona is utterly vile,If thats what you believe people of any colour would look up to or aspire to be,then thats a sad day for everybody.

        Black community,white community it doesnt matter. You seem to represent a small element of the 'black' community that seems hell bent on creating division in our society,in fact I wouldnt even put it dont to colour,I would place it in the 'shameless' or 'chav' community.

        Grow the f.uck up and take that enormous chip off your shoulder. ****s like yourself are ruining the efforts of people of all cultures trying to make the country a better place to live. One of the best things about Britain is its cultural diversity and that should be a source of unity and not an opportunity for bigots such as yourself, al muhajiroun,the bnp etc. to create stress and aggravation.

          Thats possibly the biggest ple of **** i've ever had teh missfortune of reading my entire life.

          Oh and there was tons of those white football fans in teh crowd when Floyd did the open session.

          Most of the british population is white, ergo most boxing fans in Britian are white, British fans don't support fighter becuse of skin colour and that is obvious since many of our greatest boxers are not white but had HUGE support.

            I got used to applauding the opposition at St.Mary's!

              Can you prove me wrong? come on man we all know that's the truth, which is why there's always football songs sung at the fights and the weigh-ins, Amir Khan and David Hayes fight's have much more multicultural audiences than Hatton and Froch IMO.

                  The onus is on you to prove that you are right since you're the one making the outragous claim.

                      your the 1 who said its a fact, when you say something is a fact, you need evidence to back it up. so you must have been at the weigh ins, counted all the people there, and added up how many were not white? lol
