Do you think some US fans..

[1g5a22]

Struggle to come to terms with the globalization of the sport in the last decade or so? That is my experience after posting on boxing message boards for many years.. Obviously not all US fight fans (all nations have trolls) but i have conversed with some alarming characters from the US whom certain fighters consume there lives on a daily basis! I for one find the hatred from US fight fans towards other nation fighters disproportionate. Whereas many non US fans tend to support many US fighters both currently & historically. Am i being unfair?

Current fighters like Japaneses Shinsuke Yamanaka & Naoya Inoue tend to go unnoticed by most. Nicaraguan Román González is 3 fights away from equaling Marciano & FMJ's 49-0 & is p4p number 1 yet most casuals don't even know or care who he is! The Eastern European/former soviet nation fighters seem to be the real focus of US hatred.. Probably down to the cold war & US/USSR relations, the fact that they tend to fight at larger weights (which are the more prominent divisions) & probably an ethnic element too as most US boxers tend to be black thus bringing with them a large black fan base! Rather than the apathy towards many of the above mentioned some EE fighters inspire genuine hatred & in some cases a sustained campaign to denounce them. Brit bashing is par for the course too (Frampton, Calzaghe, Froch & Fury etc) but that's always been the case between the two nations but i think the soviet element (Klitschko, Kovalev, Golovkin, Lomachenko) really does upset people! Am i wrong?

This isn't meant to offend US fans but #nonusboxersmatter

I'm not speaking for everybody but it requires a lot more effort to watch fighters from other countries. You have different time zones so the fights happen at weird times during days and nights, we don't have a network like BoxNation that shows fights from all over the world and the major players on the US scene: HBO, Showtime and PBC are all in the midst of a budget crunch and won't pay for fights.

I'm a big fan of Anselmo Moreno but I can only watch replays of his fights or have to watch it on a crappy ****** with a ton of ads and *******.

Fair point that. Raises an interesting question.. Do you think some of the posters i refer to even watch these fighters they hate then?

Golovkin is the only one who's hated and that's mainly because he's overhyped even though he hasn't accomplished much in the sport.

Plus his fanbase is literal cancer.

it has pretty much been a truism for years that americans only like sports when they're winning. same thing happened with men's tennis, for example

You wrote all that fiction just to bash Black people...it shows where your insecurities lie

You Asians are a strange lot...you hate on Blacks as if that will somehow ingratiate you to white people.


Nobody is offended by you but #**********ersmatter.

I'm a white European with a black fiancee. I am neither Asian, racist or a ******..

I assume you think this thread unfair? If so then lets use you as an example? Are you a US fight fan?

[Sid-Knee]

You are correct. But it's not some Americans, it's most unfortunately. Them alongside the Mexicans are the most poisonous bunch of filth you'll ever have the misfortune to encounter.

Do some research on say YouTube about these two nations in all aspects of life, and you'll come out of it in disbelief. They're creepy, creepy people in the most part.

Tons of guys here claim to be white..most are Asians...pinoys...and mexicans...lol

You have an insecurity about Black fighters...that fiction you wrote tells it all.....along with much of the other crap you post.

His fan base is nearly as worse as Pac's at its high water mark, in fact I'm convinced both are one and the same, shifted allegiance to the nearest guy who had Floyd's number just so happens they had to go to 160 to find him I remember murmurings of the same regarding Martinez that train never gained momentum.
