    In terms of TV Audiences Germany seems the best.

    This is laughable. In the UK your looking at a starting price for a ticket for a decent fight being aroung £70. I've looked for Froch-Kessler II and its £150. Please dont try and convince me you yanks are being forced out the market by having to stump up a paltry $40!

    Yeah, for the most part they don't seem great on TV. There are the odd exceptions like huge fights in Vegas, but fights like the other night has no atmosphere.

    Difference between "hype up" and support.

    Yanks fans are ****ing ****, majority are probably just fat slobs who will take the family and sit there munching on hot dogs and slurping on coke while spitting out mouthfuls of food as they try to boo.

    British fans actually know how to support.

    An example being that ****ing weirdo on here the other day that said "the most bizarre thing ever in sport" was when Hatton fans were still singing his name after being knocked out.

    Yeah! The Gutknecht Brähmer fight was a very good promotion for boxing in germany!
    Even the undercard was superb! What a brawl from Woge:bbb
    And I really hate it when the crowd is booing to a fighter just because the fight seems boring to them! This is very disrespectful! Never saw it in germany or the Uk.

    I really hope they can tackle this problem somehow.

    Take Broner for instance, couldnt they get some popular Polish or Mexican fighter on the undercard with him who sells tickets to give the whole event a boost?

    Yep this was a good fight from Bika and his opponent showed a lack of speed and power but a lot of heart! Cant understand how you could booing on this fight. Just shows that most of the americans have no clue about boxing.

    Please Americans that go to boxing events know about the sport. Hatton fans actually thought Hatton had a chance against Mayweather which tells you all you need to know.
