British fight fans aren't against arrogance per se, you just have to back it up. Take Naz and Haye for example. Both are arrogant, but both have backed it up too and are firm favourites with the British fans. DeGale was mouthy without beating anyone of note and the time he steps up he reveals himself to be nothing special at all.

well of course his arrogance is going to turn fans against him, people forget that Froch wasn't liked much either by many before this Super 6 Started, probably because of the trash talking about Calzaghe
plus he is VERY Arrogant as well according to some, he seems like a guy that speaks his mind and does KISS A$$, I guess some people wanted him to PRAISE Joe and he didn't
I do think DeGale could go to the US and be a bigger star their then he can in the UK, seems like he has build up a lot of HATE their and him losing they might try to BURY the guy
even the Sky announcers was OPENLY going for Groves and almost didn't give DeGale ANY CREDIT what so everLast edited by KnockUTheFukOut; 05-21-2011, 07:14 PM.

I agree that he's not treated well by the fans, it's got nothing to do with race though. Khan, Hatton and Haye prove that race isn't important.
Amir Khan is also an arrogant b@stard like DeGale, but unlike DeGale he didn't bring home the gold. Despite that, Khan has a pretty strong fan-base while DeGale doesn't...strange. All DeGale has to do is get himself a better trainer.

I mean, Groves himself worked in the US for part of his prep for this fight, to his benefit.
