    More nationalistic Boxing fans Mexicans vs Filipinos?

    Maybe the two most ardent boxing fan bases. Where major boxing events featuring their countrymen are almost like national holidays. Who is the most nationalistic of the 2 fan bases?

    Filipino fans.

    Mexican fans are divided among boxers.

    A lot of Mexicans hate Canelo

    A lot of Mexican GGG fans were also rooting against Canelo. That would never happen with Pacqiao.

    A lot of divide over Salvador Sanchez or Chavez.

    Chavez Jr is hated as well.

    Then the Mexican American boxers and the Mexican 'Purists' that hate them.

    Filipinos think Pacuiao is JESUS and are all in as 1000% homers.

        not true.. mexicans have options that's why they can hate guys like canelo, etc. they have options! canelo is not the only great boxer out of mexico. where as for filipino's, they are short on fighters. so whoever makes it to the big stage, they are gonna root for that guy. its natural instinct.

              I think you are right. My neighbor is Filipino and every time Pacquiao fights he has a huge fight party. I always go being a Pacquiao fan myself.

                I say Filipinos. I had a Filipino couple over watching the Pacquiao/Cotto fight. The wife started crying in the beginning when it appeared Cotto was getting the better of Pacquiao.

                I had to laugh.
