    Are US fans the least loyal?

      UK boxing fans no, casual boxing fans yes.

      How many title holders are in fact actual champions, with the exception of Fists of Fluff who else have they ?

      Whilst guys like Hearn and Warren put on these glorified mismatches on the casuals will continue to pay ppv prices, the genuine fans you can not knock the casual paying soccer fan will continue to buy it, is it any worse than Floyd facing Guerrero, Ortiz, Maidana and Berto or Bob lining up Vargas, Algieri and a faded Bradley for Pac ? No absolutely not, this isn't a phenomenon exclusive to the UK. It's a global trend, Hearn is just following the Haymon blueprint refusing to do business with his closest rival. Warren does business with Bob and Golden Boy, it's almost like Eddie has had Al freeze Fish Eyes out too.

      The Russian promoter puts on the best shows, period. It's called hostile takeover.

        Porter was 'WW Mike Tyson' before Brook schooled him...

        Supporting your fighters and gullible are entirely different, the above list is gullible.
        Ask them to name a good super featherweight, lightweight, super middleweight, cruiserweight who is American watch them struggle this a country with 360 million population and they can't have strong talents in every division need I say anymore?
        Also It gets worse when you look for American talent below Super Featherweight.

          British fans might overrate some fighters from time to time (but honestly, who doesn't?), but they are awesome. The atmosphere at fights over there is incredible

            Hmmm I dunno I don't blame their fans for rooting for whoever they like I do that as well I won't root for every Brit.

              Are you seriously asking why UK fans were supportive of those fights? Khan, Brook, and Smith are the kind of fights fans should support for fighters in their countries. And Joshua was fighting for his first world title, which should also be supported.

              Seriously, I don't get your point here. How does supporting these fighters make UK fans gullible?

                Don't know much about UK boxers except Hatton, Fury, Brook, Khan, Frampton, didn't even know about Smith till the Canelo fight. Hard to follow their careers when they rarely fight abroad. If their fighters fight each other often, I will have no problem with it. Right now in the US the sport is pathetic. Takes years to see top fighters fight each other.

                  Say what you want, but we aient ever had no Garcia V Salka style mismatch, that schit was disgusting.

                  Not to mention downright dangerous.
