    Maybe not PBF but Lazcano, and many of the opponents in Manchester especially where it is completely out of control and unfair.

    I think Security should clamp down on football chanting. Maybe play sound from a German crowd over the loud speaker system to drown it out, volume magnified X100.

    When I went Vegas I was with 3 mates who like Hatton but arn't "mad" or particulary interested in boxing. I remember thinking what was pretty indicative of the Hatton support over there at the time (~25%/75%).

    FWIW Hayes support at the O2 for the Enzo fight was no better and probably worse IMHO.

    I hope UK boxing crowds never get like the Germans, I like a bit of singing and atmosphere.

    Probably true of cricket and football crowds abroad too, when the venue is somewhere attractive

    I'm not convinced.

    The Germans are classy. There is a whispering in the crowd, almost as if they are discussing tactics and subtle adaptations in the ring.

    Also they have fit birds playing Violins.

    How about we get back to 2 blokes knocking the **** out of each other for £20 a corner in a smokey room in front of a couple of hundred men in dinner jackets?

    That's a bit farfetched. Think of the venue, the logistics as far as media coverage would not work. The men with dinner jackets would have to pay an awful lot of coin.

    I think we could find a happy medium. No football shirts. No football chants. Every person is given a ticket as they enter the building with 5 beers on it. After each beer they buy one is crossed off. If they do not present their ticket No Beers. Skinny individuals get an allowance of 3 beers.

    Thats one of the problems, some of the same people who complain that theres not enough boxing on TV or in the papers are the first turn their noses up when a boxer gets a little to popular with the mainstream auduence. Its like they're trying earn credibility points as a hardcore fan.

    You know, like when teenagers give it the "Oh, they've sold out now. Their first album was SO much better than their new stuff...."

    Horrible stereotype.

    I fear I would have to take your ticket and those of your friends.

    An allowance of 3 beers for skinny people what about large alcoholics like me?

    Those god damn austrians hurting the image of the good people of germany.

    Couldn't they just stick to bbq's, cricket and making episodes of neighbours.

    I always knew they were trouble.

    Sorry I wouldn't cater specifically for alcoholics. That would be frowned upon in my society, not actively encouraged.
