    The passion from those fans that night will forever live in my memory. Even though Ricky lost, those fans were incredble. I remember when Floyd only tripped in the 1st round and the british fans erupted like a knockout happened. things like this make fights even more classic.


    It'd be great to see passion like this from either set of fans on may 2nd. i want to see greatness.

    Don't say that. This is the fight of the century. The crowd will be wild. I want to hear a pop like this.

    They add a great atmosphere to just about any sporting event.

    I'd love to go to a darts match next time I go to the isles.

    Probably, from what I've seen the ticket prices are just crazy stupid for your average fan.

    To be honest i've been shocked many times at how American fans can disregard a boxer so quick after a loss. I think British fans are more loyal. If we're a fan of a boxer, then we're a fan through the good times and the bad times, whilst it seems American fans like winners & when that boxer loses, then it was only hype & now he's a bum. You've guys have got so spoilt with great boxers that anything less than great is just not good enough.

    They might be football thugs, but they make a great atmosphere during the event. Just make sure you make a quick getaway after the event LOL.

    Us Brits love it! Pure passion for boxing our fighters, josh Warrington is getting a big following at the moment similar to Hatton early on in his career.

    The effects of alcohol are amazing. Some of the fans were still singing "There's only one Ricky Hatton" when he was flat on his back on the canvas.

    British fans tend to get really into it, I love the noise they make for fights like Hatton-Tszyu, Bruno-McCall, Watsoj-Benn, etc
