American Boxing/fight fans a DISGRACE!

Yes. We remember what the British fans did during the American national anthem before Mayweather/Hatton.

 

The same can be said for British fans at the Hatton - PBF fight, right?

 

:happy :happy :happy :happy I still don't think Americans as a whole, will ever understand this.

 

..............With all due respect, how long have you been a boxing fan? ****, I remember when Marvin Johnson went to Trinidad to fight local hero Leslie Stewart in a rematch championship fight, and Stewart just pasted the game Johnson for eight rounds before the fight was mercifully halted between rounds. It should have been halted much earlier, but instead of maybe applauding the couage of a guy who gave his all in a painful defeat, the fans threw bottles at the guy as he tied to return to his dressing room.


Or Marvin Hagler, when he beat Alan Minter in the UK. Fans threw half-full glass beer bottles into the ring. Hagler had to be escorted to the dressing room by police.

Or perhaps we should remember Donald Curry, when he sliced and diced Colin Jones in (again) the UK, in front of his adoring fans. Same ****ing story. Half empty beer bottles rained down upon the guy who happened to win.


This is common.

 

No, I do get it. When guest visit a foreign country for any event, the guest are suppose to STFU during the host's national anthem. Hatton hooligans deliberately acted like....HOOLIGANS.

 

Anthems get booed all the time in Europe. In fact, they get booed all over, apart from America. I know the Argentine and Brazilian football fans boo each others anthems.

The only people who cried about it were American's, who, once again, showed they don't have a ****ing clue what goes on outside of their own country. Whether it's right or wrong is debatable. Acting like it's a great insult to America is pure ignorance.

It happens, get over it.

Whatever grievances Americans have with their own country is our business. We don't give a **** if fans boo anthems in Europe. That's Europe not America. But when you come here as a guest you need to act right or be dealt with.
