Do British fans have low standards?

[sicko]

Plenty of Americans crown Wilder the best at the weight. To say you haven't seen them is nothing but being selective with what you see.

It has nothing to do with standards either. Boxing is just at a low point in America.

Once again you guys are going by THIS FORUM! Wilder is NOT a Draw here in America YET if the Hype was really that big he would be a BIG DRAW by now. Despite being Champion people still Doubt Wilder and is still waiting before buying the HYPE!

The Ortiz fight put him in the right Direction but still have a long way to go to build up that Profile!

I've never seen someone call Dillian Whyte an elite fighter outside of the British fans. What's wrong with them?

LMFAO! Who calls him elite?

[TheBigLug]

I'd say the general British boxing fan is fairly realistic. Most people i know here that i'd consider genuine boxing fans are not AJ fans and still think he's not elite etc.. and they certainly don't think Whyte is.

Casual fans are a different matter, but isn't that the same anywhere? It's just there's a big casual market being tapped into in the UK right now, so you get a lot of people with an uneducated view. It is what it is. Not really any different to when UFC was really appealing to a huge casual audience a couple of years ago with the likes of Ronda Rousey etc.. It just attracts a load of bandwagon jumpers. That's the same as boxing in the UK now, especially some Matchroom events.

Then again. Loads of American's have Crawford as p4p no.1 and his best win is Postol. So, it happens everywhere.

You should see other boxing forums, Twitter, YT and Instagram to see crazy Americans and their **** talk. So it isn't just here. It's everywhere

Yeah OK that is Social Media most of those people don't even attend boxing events live. If the hype was REAL he should be a bigger DRAW!

I think social media and boxing forums are a good way to gage American opinion. It's crawling with nutters. Just look at this place.

How do you know they don't attend boxing shows? How would you be able to deduce that?

If you're not From America it could be but it is also misleading

I believe we have a higher percentage of newer casual fans, who are loud, but don't really know what they're talking about.

British fans be like "You gonna watch the Nigel Buckley vs. Lionel Honeybun fight? Will be an absolute cracker lad! Heard the vacant Yorkshire super bantamweight title is on the line!"
