Why do fans like humble fighters?

Again not attacking those brash fighters, you need different personalities in the sport anyway. Keeps things interesting.

It's easier for the average person to relate to successful people who are humble. Even among friends, there will sometimes be a braggart in the group who can't help talking about their earnings, or their latest purchase. Most people will put up with that person, but few will actually like them.
It's the same reason why the sportspeople who spend their money as quick as they get it on flashy cars, clothes etc...will have plenty of hangers on when the money is rolling in, who will disappear as soon as it isn't.

It takes extra mental strength to be composed and win under the pressure of hatred from jealous ordinary people.

Most people cannot handle being hated by many.
C0cky fighters are self-assured they do not give a ****.

Show me someone who hates Dan Bilzerian, Trump, or Floyd for an emotional reason, and I'll show you a loser.
