Why do Americans hate British boxing fans so much?

[R-Hand Southpaw]

I'll say the same **** I said to the Mexicans. You know why people hate your kind?

Because people like you have a big ass mouth and speak for no one but yourself. Youre the kind of embarassing **** stain that everyone wishes would just go hide in a hole. What kind of person makes british fans look like ****?

You do.

Over and over and over again. If I was British I would be ashamed that some loud mouth dumb s hit things his words represent the whole.

Tea is for ****sexuals.




Joking, I love the McLaddies.

Truth be told I probably drink 5 cups of tea a day.

Crumpets I have only occasionally though.

The problem with americans is they think we have blind faith in British fighters ability, i.e we all think AJ is the greatest heavyweight, which isn’t the case. Some do of course, but that’s just your average casual fan that are turned by the likes of Sky just doing their job, hyping fighters, which is what they’re meant to do to make money.

Most real British boxing fan’s don’t even overrate our fighters, we just support them. You can still show massive support knowing that your guy might just be a decent fighter. I think that’s where the confusion is.

The fact is we just like having a good time, enjoy the nights out at the fight, have a drink and show support that’s it. That’s why the atmosphere is so good compared to fights in USA which is just mostly fat guys sat down eating nachos in silence.

I think true American boxing fans would love to see that passion and atmosphere in USA.

because UK fighters camp out in their regions until everyone beats the hell out of each other and then they show their faces to pick up the pieces. It's worked for decades. And their fans continue defend this nonsense. A poster in the Yarde/Kovalev thread Saturday thought I was a Brit and a fan of UK fighters. That was one of the most insulting things someone could say to me next to calling me a Laker fan.

To be fair I think it’s probably our fault.

We’re used to competing internationally in team sports and there is that hangover in boxing.

Sport in general for the British in particular is a proxy war even within the Island itself. Scotland are s.hit at everything but any sporting event against the English can evoke memories of ancient battles. Our true sporting rivals being the ones we’ve had literal wars against.

Orwell knew the score yonks ago.

Yanks don’t really have that. They compete against themselves

Doubtful, I could tell you my own personal feelings but I'm historically inclined so it makes sense for me specifically to be thinking of **** like 1812 when US vs UK is the subject at hand, but, what makes me hesitant to agree with this is actually the shift boxing made from Greco Martial Art to Sport.

The Greeks made boxing a sport specifically to stop so much internal warring. It is meant to be a natural element to boxing being sport.

I don't think you need wars to root for the home team or to see the martial in boxing. I think it's natural.


Outside of that, not trying to be a ****, but, all the international sports I watch are kind of American dominated. Ice Cross Downhill is a relatively new extreme sport, came out of europe and was dominated by euros and canadians for years and years until America show interest and now we dominate....that's the usual story for me. I'll find something neat, it'll be totally foreign and then as it grows the Americans pour in and take over. So, again, not bragging or trying to be mean, but, we compete against ourselves because y'all ain't that good at that much stuff....I reckon.

We just lost Strong Man and won it back with a new kid. That's kinda the norm to me.

[Derranged]

Because Americans want to be the only obnoxious ignorant loud mouths...they don’t like the competition.

I laughed and I'm American. Green karma.

Fair enough, this ^^^ makes sense to me. Thank you for explaining.

Now, if only the Filipino pac a maniacs could explain themselves this articulately ......never mind.

It is how it works here. I’m certain of it.

Football is war without the guns on an international scale.

Also unless you win a football World Cup then that doesn’t ring true.

The women’s World Cup doesn’t count. Army’s of women don’t fight wars.

Anything else you dominate at is largely on per capita basis.

We dominate things we pour money into as well. Like track cycling. Eventually Americans might spend more on it but they’ll largely have to copy what we’ve done.

Your not better at anything. Obviously. Nobody is.

My dear yanks and fellow English language speakers (you speak the fake version, tho), come in here and let it all out.

No holds barred.

It's not British boxing fans they hate, it's just the English ones. That is because the English are mostly idiots
