Are UK Boxing Fans the Most Gullible?

[j0zef]

They support boxing, and those fights were good entertainment. Seriously, UK is keeping boxing alive and you're b1tching about it. Go away.

They are all individuals and you can't make them all the same. They do support their best boxers very well indeed. Sometimes some of them sing songs for their boxers in large groups. I have never understood a single word they sing in these songs and they can't keep the songs going very long. Brook, Khan and Smith were all incredible braggers. Every day in the build up for the fight there were all these statements by them in the media that they couldn't possibly lose. They all got KOed but only Smith gave Canelo full praise and credit for being the much better man. Brook and Khan both acted like they won the fight and had nothing good to say about the man who knocked them out. Frampton doesn't brag, he just wins. I don't think fans can really control the fights that get made. They can only chose to watch them or not. On average UK boxing fans are probably the most devoted of all fans to their boxers and that will keep boxing thriving in the UK.

Brits are great boxing supporters like Mexicans but so biased to the point of delusions

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.

I agree, putting out an inferior product and charging top dollar is not restricted to the UK. My point was, if fans are willing to support promoters who put on mismatches (not restricted to the UK ones I mentioned) than why would these promoters ever put on quality fights?

Absolutely, they be giving guys like Brook a chance versus GGG then justify it as Brook was actually competitive ! Abnormal. Or Breazeale is a top competitor though he was schooled and dropped by Mansour before the freak stoppage.

Brits are by far the worst on this forum.

Joshua v Martin, Canelo v Khan, GGG v Brook and Canelo v Smith, how many mismatches before UK fans wise up and demand some competitive fights?

British fans had nothing to do with Martin becoming IBF HW champ. All we did was pay to watch him get KTFO and lose his title to AJ.

GGG vs Brook sold around the same number of PPV's in the UK as Canelo vs Khan sold in the US, but we only paid about half as much with Sky as the yanks paid with HBO.

I rest my case.

I think there was 1 person on this forum who thought Brook would win from the UK, 99% of us said he would lose and he did.

Flabzeale as I called him prior to the match up was/is a joke, not A single English person I knew of or read on this forum was bigging him up lol. It was only the Americans who were on here, and guess what they were trolling to.

So take your racist/biased comments elsewhere.

Let me guess Laced Up ?

Racist how d1ck head ? Biased lol you make me laugh. Because I picked GGG to poleaxe Brook I'm biased, not quite its called calling it how I see it, only fück wits thought that was competitive or it would be competitive. It just so happens it was mostly Brits believing Brook had a shot, casual d1ck riders.

Breazeale is Joshua's best win !

No more so than any other nations fans.

I didn't hear one UK fan pick Brook to beat GGG or Smith to beat Canelo. Obvious trolls aside.
