American fight fans have very litte pride in their fighters or country.

    I travel plenty. I stand by my statement. Simply rooting for someone because he was born where you were born or is the same race as you is pathetic.

      You don't have to be a white boy. White America will also adopt you if you're a model minority banana, apple, or oreo. Look at pacquiao.

            Yeah but it's not nationalistic as it might be if a white fighter was champion.

            Imagine a white heavyweight US champ was taking on the Klitschkos, you can't tell me the US fans wouldn't get nationalistic in getting supporting him against the Ruskies etc.

              I have pride in my state and the area I live in. Does that make you feel better?

                The majority of people root for what they identify with, factors are often based on nationalism, ethnicity, places of residence, etc. Your "worldly view" has shown you that the majority of people on the globe are pathetic?

It bothers me that Mexicans keep waving their flags about how many champions they have but no one could give a **** about their champions at 105lbs or the fact that they are simply fighting other sickly looking "men" for titles.



                      WTF so in your opinion no one cares about Mexican fighters because they are smaller???So no one was watching or caring when Morales was fighting Barrera or Juan Manuel Marquez's 2 fights with Pacquiao.. Elite Mexican fighters like Morales, Barrera, JMM, JCC, Salvador Sanchez, Ricardo Lopez were some of the best boxers ever in the history of boxing and had high ratings when they fought, So I dont understand what you are saying?? Maybe you are just racist towards Mexicans or just jealous??? Which one is it???????
