Anyone else hate celebs who attend boxing matches . . .

People really get bothered by anything these days. If they don't buy the expensive ass seat, who will? Probably not you.

I don't understand why they go. If you don't like it and don't care, why are you there? It's not like showing up to a fight is going to get a celebrity some kind of recognition they aren't already getting.

Some of the celebs strike me as phony and pretentious when they are at the fights, because they obviously just want to be seen in a glamorous light. Having high priced, ringside seats is a status symbol to them especially the ones we know are barely even half-wit fans of the sport.

It does raise the profile of the event though when they are there. It's a signaling effect of "these guys brought all the stars out."

All I know is Mario Lopez is at every major fight and hes a die hard fan, Rosie Perez shows up to the brooklyn fights.

Its a good look to have celebs at the fight. Dont tell me rihanna and beyonce and them at courtside to some damn game really follows basketball.

I think some don't buy it. Either that or they get a huge discount to just show up, I know celebs get invited sometimes. Celebrities are usually found at boxing "events". I don't see what is so hard to understand. And I repeat, if they don't buy it, these fans complaining aren't going to pay up $10k for those seats, so shut up and either buy the PPV or buy your $50-300-500 dollar seat.

most of the time especially on HBO theirs stars from their HBO shows are required to show up.

Who are you to assume that these celebrities clearly hate boxing? Do you know these celebrities personally? Don't assume things. Even if what you say has an element of truth (and I'm not saying whether there is or there isn't), there's nothing wrong with someone attending a boxing fight either out of curiosity or just with someone.

It's not a ****ing elitist club that can only be attended if you're a hardcore fan. Anyone can attend.
