Thank you
There are a number of sports which have way more coverage then boxing, ie rugby, cricket, formula 1 to name a few
We get behind our boxers period.
I think because the US is the mecca of boxing you guys kind of take the stance of a host, more neutral. Kind of like the English do with football in the premier league because it is such an international league, we give foreigners as much exposure, and sometimes even more credit then our homegrown players. HBO is kind of an international brand and you quite often have 2 big fighters fighting on HBO and neither fighter is American.
But you should definitely get behind your fighters more, you have no sense of pride or identity when it comes to your own fighters, I think this frustrates a lot of US fighters including Mayweather. In his case though I think it is partly his own fault, he never allowed himself to be marketed in the right way from the start, he wanted to appeal to the hip hop culture, and didn't want to 'sell out'. Well you reap what you sow Floyd...now he blames Bob Arum. The kid is a joke.
