Thread: National Anthems

Why were they not played last night, it is a real shame we did not hear the British and Italian anthems, shame on you Buffer and MGM.

Maybe it got edited by HBO. It's not Buffers fault.

to be honest im not interested in anthems , just get on with it !

agree no need for them...
























Hattons fans would just have booed away again anyway

The anthems are only showed on PPVs. This was a regular HBO telecast.


And Hatton's fans haven't shown much class during national anthems before, so HBO would have no reason to go out of their way to show them either.

Calzaghe-Hopkins wasn't HBO PPV (i think) and had the anthems.

Your second point is more like it. Earlier in the week Hatton asked his fans (on Brit TV) to not boo the USA anthem. In the end, they obviously thought better than to trust the hooligans (although it didn't look like that many were there anyway.. barring Liam and Noel).

lol that is what Diane told me too I asked what had happend to the Anthems and she said maybe because them Brits would have began booing so they opted not to play them It does not bother me that the brits boo during our anthem I just look at it as the brits having more of this Soccer fan mentality and they just bring that same mentality to boxing, if you follow soccer, then you might understand this a little better booing the other team with all you have is the best thing to happen to that sport because they can get really nasty in so many ways than just booing them fools are fanatical crazy like that.

Those Brit fans are thick as shit.

It doesn't take a genius to work out, if you have an American ref and three American judges it's probably best NOT to BOO the American national anthem

Same here, we know where the guys are from, I'm sick to death of hearing them. The American NA always getting sung by people trying to make it their own gets annoying.

'Lets see how long I can make this word/note last'.......'I'll get cheers'

....laaaaaaaaaaaaand ooof thaaaaa Freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee............zzzzzzzz

Isnt it the ex skin head bother boy types from Man city that are now all so called die hard boxing fans?

Surly most other British fans don't boo others Anthems do they?

Imagine it at the olympics or world titles .

I don't really see the need for anthems either, Lol at Buffer sabotaging the whole thing

So true. Are most/any of those anthems any good?

I think after Calzaghe-Jones national anthems have been done away with altogether. Remember that?

There is a time and a place for a National Anthem.

It's all about what a country think about their own one, because that reflects the way they treat the opposition's .... here is how it should be done. 85,000 passionate and pissed Welsh people chasing the Grand Slam in their own stadium.

Sang along to the opposition anthem as well, because I was there.

One of the most intimidating venues in the world in any sport to come as the opposition, I would think.

For me, one of the most spine-tingling moments I ever have ...... anthems can definitely add to the occasion (I don't think there is anything similar to this in America?)

Got pissed up in Cardiff after the game (as usual) Welsh and French intermingling happily. There's enough violence of the pitch and lots of people who go to the matches are former players at some level. Not a good idea to pick a football-style fight. They say that rugby is a game for thugs played by gentlemen and football is a game for gentlemen played by thugs.
