Does boxing have more hater 'fans' than any other sport?

[Slip Stream]

No doubt...the thing is - you say it's picking a side - often times the hated on fighter will not have his opponent particularly supported, the haters just want him to lose, for no objective reason.

This is why Mayweather's haters are very much like the GOP is today, in world of politics. They fester on nonexistent scandals, look for conspiracies and facts where none exist and steadfastly hold to debunked ideas no matter what competing thought is throw at them. No fact that can be presented will dissuade them from attacking Mayweather at all costs.

When a group of people are so oblivious to reality its kinda fun to pull on their chains.

Hmm, I don't know about that - Tennis was a great example I was thinking of myself - I don't really go on any specific forums but on general sport sites or Facebook or whatever, there are clearly those cringeworthy fanboys, but their arguments are more into who is superior between them or is the GOAT, and generally hate is for guys right at the top of the sport - Nadal, Djoko, Federer, Murray...in boxing it's a lot worse, IMO.

No the hate is actually all over the place. I really don't see any difference. Doesn't matter if you're at the top of the sport or ranked 50-200 in the world. Just like in boxing fans try to find something negative about the players. Bums, clowns, mentalmidgets...etc are very common words to describe the players. Always a bunch of excuses when the match is over. Then you have to bring in the over the top patriotism. The Serbs talk about Djokovic and any other serb the way pinoy fans talk about Pac. I love tennis but many fans are simply too much....but that's how it is, When people are passionate about something fanboys and haters will always be created.

The scandals are real. It's just that there's so many of them that the GOP can't focus on one and are ineffective in getting answers.

Same can be said about ********s and Pacquiao fans. Too often it's an all-or-nothing thing.

Example. I think GGG is a great fighter and has the *potential* to be an ATG heavyweight middleweight (made correction). However until he beats the best he cannot be considered among the best. GGG fanboys may consider that I'm slighting him because I don't automatically consider GGG above Martinez (hence I'm a RINO or DINO to take it into the political realm) and GGG haters consider the claim that GGG is a potential ATG just pure rubbish and a sign that I am a brainless fanboy.

The "scandals" are not real friend, they have zero evidence connecting the president to anything or any intentional wrongdoing on his part. The only connection there is seems to be in the minds of the GOP who are determined to deny President ***** any significant victory even at the risk of sinking the country.

The GOP are ineffective at getting answers because there's nothing else to provide. If there was some small bit of evidence they could hang their hats on they would. So in the absence of that they make **** up and lie on a daily basis. Its ultimately a losing strategy as the re-election of Barack ***** proved, but more than that the GOP consists of graying white dinosaurs that are going extinct even as you and I are in a dialogue. Look at their presidential conventions, mostly white and old. Think about the GOP these days, its about white resentment and grievance.

They hate what ***** represents but what the president represents isn't ever going to change and they know that. So in the end, blind hatred is all some people will ever have.

How can it be said of ********s, give specific examples please.
