I'll definitely give you Brits some credit

They're like a cult. They worship their stars/heros.

Amazing.

 

It is kinda unreal. Even I, an Englishman, can't believe the support we show.

 

you think that's impressive?

you should read up on the support our cricket teams gets abroad, especially when they go to australia, mind boggling. last winter the aussies stuffed us, the harder we got beat the louder our fans sung. the football fans are a mixed bunch, although much better behaved compared to past years.

Even Frank Bruno got big support when he appeared in vegas. realistically he had 0% chance of winning but fans paid to see the fight. Its the bright lights of vegas that attracts us. If this fight had been in a less glamorous location the numbers of travelling support would be way down.

 

Remember rebel forces call a draw during Pacman's fights .. now that's support

 

aww makes you proud to be britsh, i go all shivery when i hear YNWA at anfield.

cant wait to hear the roars for hatton tonight though .

 

i prefer coming up to anfield and seeing my team silence the kop

 

I think it is down to two things

1 It's a small country. Therefore there is a culture of travelling to away games. If you live in NY you are not going to go en mass to LA to watch basketball on a wednesday night like we do here with the soccer.

2 Going overseas and taking over the place is sort of in our blood. The sun never set remember:good

 

Yeah they stole that song from united as well :yep

 

The kop is never silent mate an i dont even go the matches , but i can still hear them .

 

I think its standard in just about every country except here...

 

amazing support...cant imagine a hatton v pacquiao/cotto fight...the atmosphere would be unreal

too bad that doesnt happen here in the states

 

Look at Kelly Pavlik he is a humble, down to earth, modest American fighter. Pavlik is very popular and well liked, imagine that!

Pavlik is not an ******* who is always telling everyone how great he is and wont STFU about it!! Pavlik doesn't show off in bling, bling, disrespect opponents, or have a large entourage of ' yes sirs' kissing his ass 24/7.


People have grown tired of the cocky, big mouthed American showboat, ******* persona.
Most American Boxer's are not popular because people just don't like them! It is that simple, people dont like Floyd because he is a *****.
