    This is nothing new, Boxing has always attracted fans from each end of the spectrum. Back in the day 'the fancy' was comprised in equal parts of the aristocracy and cutthroats. scumbags will always want to attach themselves to something that is perceived as violent and macho. hopefully the majority will jump on the MMA bandwagon and leave Boxing for those who appreciate the science as much as the danger.

    a lot of the times also to bair its the mates, lads from the same area of their boxer that can cause trouble,remember most boxers come from tough areas. i know this has been the case with a fair few local fighters recently.

    also tho the fact is boxers need these followers/fansven if they arent actual boxing fans. if a fighter can sell 200 tickets he is a lot more likely 2 be on the bill.
