American boxing fans

[Willy Wanker]

Dude, look at your spelling and grammar. I hope for your parents sake that you're just a 14 year old kid like the rest of the posters on this site. People from third world countries could write better than you, and no thanks I'd never live in America because of the ******ed laws / health care system / immigration system / government / quality of life / education system. Id rather raise my kids in immigrant infested Europe before I think about moving to USA. Im sure that Europe will trade you guys all of their pakis / africans / ******s for your mexicans any day of the week, at least they work instead of having 14 kids and committing crime and getting welfare, so they would fit in perfectly in USA.

your a sad, sad little man. i speak great english, son. my typing just sucks and use short cuts. this ain't no essay contest.

anyways, u r racist bashing against Pakis, Africans, and ******s, they are supposed to be capitalized and u make fun of my spelling. u capitalize Europe and America cuz they are white nations. everyone sees thru u bigot.

u say u would rather live in a third world country before america, now yr saying you would rather live in immigrant infested europe. immigrant infested? man, u racist boy.

and our mexicans u love so much put a drain on our system to. healthcare and education is so bad for americans, but illegals from mexico get everything handed to them. yr obviously dumb and uneducated with facts. yr just a puppet, u know nothing about america or europe. yr from toronto son. what to do u know about anything besides hockey and free healthcare. u guys have it easy. so read a book before u spit out yr generic, ignorant comments. its obvious u hate minorites as much u hate americans.

sad, sad little man.

its cos americans have a culture of not supporting their teams with chants where as some european nations try to spark there fighters up for americans and other countries its the other way around they will react to whats happening in the ring

[Dynamite Kid]

why is it that you dont have the same passion and commitment as other countries, most noticeably, Brits ?

Considering the money you have, the venues, the population. It baffles me why you can be completely out-sung and have you patriotism trounced by a tiny little island such as ours.

Do you find it embarressing?

Serious Q, im not fishing here, but i genuinely dont get it. In my country we LOVE our sporting heros, and we back them no matter what the odds may be.

Brits should find it embarrassing, embarrassed that they cant conduct themselves with any class, they boo national anthems and act like a bunch of mental patients that get let out for the day.

You feel proud of that, pfft.

PS im a Brit myself.

For sure. I remember during the Hatton-Mayweather fight, when the Brits were booing the U.S. anthem, in America. WTF? I was an American rooting for Hatton all the way, and that really pissed me off. I didn't want to see Hatton lose, but part of me felt good that Floyd got that last laugh over the disrespectful Brits.

If I, along with a bunch of fellow Americans booed God Saved the Queen in England during a sporting event, we would all be in the hospital or dead, I would imagine.

Agreed.

Your an ambassador for your country when abroad imo.

Tis quite funny that the TS takes pride in this kinda thing, particularly when the people sat at home watching these loud, classless ****s, shouting "god!! save our queen!!", are thinking, what!! a bunch of morons those people look.

[Lostlinka]

Tbh, I think what is percieved as a harcore fan is often not a fan at all. I see lots of things about chants and about national anthems beeing booed but these ppl are a minority. Fans in england are collectively polite, its not in our national psyche to be loud and obnoxious. Seriously, there are many things we are quite **** about, such as queuing for ****. However, there is always this more vocal minority, which I think is healthy at times. Maybe passion is lacking across the pond but again its hard to generalise a huge and great country like the USA. If it is, it's most likely down to there being so many sports to choose from, that the lesser onces do not get the right amount of exposure.

As a brit I feel embarrassed at times with the way our so called 'fans' behave.
It should be known that we will always root for an underdog and later claim to be a part of any hint of greatness. It's juvenile and ill thought to believe a nation has more pride than another. Its too simplistic.

this, sir, is the comment of an educated man. and i agree 100%

[Weebler I]

Americans are patriotic, very patriotic but I just don't think they care about boxing.

They weren't booing the anthem, they booed Mayweather's face when it came up on screen, the youtube clip shows it. They clapped and cheered Mayweather at the end when he made his speech, it's all pantomine.

However, it wouldnt be beyond certain fans to boo the anthem as most of them are football fans and that's what football fans across Europe do at every international match.

It is classless, but it's not representative of the people of Britain in general, it's representative of a certain class of people in Britain, very much the lower stratas of society.

If I, along with a bunch of fellow Americans booed God Saved the Queen in England during a sporting event, we would all be in the hospital or dead, I would imagine.

Doubtful.

I think some must think Britain is poor like Mexico. Saying to a British person that they'd like to live in the US is like saying it to a Canadian as they're all wealthy nations.
