    US fans as you can see on this forum are usually crying and complaining.. barely any of them are real fans. The guys with the most support are mostly from outside of the US like GGG, Loma, Canelo and their fights are lit. Very few US fighters have that kind of real support.

      America has a very weird way to 'support' their team etc. It is very regimented, with cheerleaders and music etc.... there is a very organised nature to it... and without the 'composers' of that 'support' i.e. cheerleaders, mascots, music being played, an MC, etc..... they don't really have anything improvised to fall back on.
      UK support (and supporters from most other places in the world) is super disorganised.... and it is just random shouting, cheering etc.... and the songs are usually just made up by fans and don't happen when prompted... people just start singing them.... and they catch on.

Every sport is big here except soccer and boxing has taken a back seat to football, basketball, baseball, the past few decades with the cherry picking and excess of titles. .
          Are you deliberately spelling America Amerikka or are you just a very poor speller?

            It's part of our culture in all our sports, we go to these events to have a good time, and the promoters have done a great job in making a boxing event accessible to the general public. American boxing events just seem like an excuse for rich people to try and be seen or spend money at the casino.

                  That's only the pro sports. Collegiate is where its at for atmosphere and traditions in American sports

                      Not saying you're wrong or anything... I'm not from America.... but even this video displays the exact things I'm talking about (regimented/organised support in the way of; marching bands, cheerleaders, signs saying when to cheer etc).... it just seems the way America supports teams, is built on a certain foundation of regiment from the organisation/club/franchise itself... I don't know... I'm just looking from the outside in... but it just seems strange... very inorganic.
