What is the most disgraceful crowd behaviour ever in boxing?

[rjj tszyu]

With all the talk of a Holt-Torres III match there obviously comes the talk of the crowd behaviour in the first fight when beer cans and other things were thrown and so on. But what is the worst piece of crowd behaviour ever?

My vote would be for the British crowd when Hagler beat Minter for the MW title. It was a disgrace and its a shame us Brits never seem to learn!

Also one other that springs to mind is the parachuter (or whatever he was) in the Bowe-Holyfield II match. I know he wasn't exactly a member of the crowd but he certainly became involved lol.

Agreed... First thing that came to mind was Hagler/Minter... I was apauled!

I'd have to say, to turn the coin for a moment, the most awesome thing that I've seen was when the fan man got mauled by the crowd. That prick deserved that beating!

Wasn't Foreman involved in protecting Larry Merchant in the melee that ensued after the Maskaev/Rahman fight?

I didn't know this? Why would anyone want to get at Merchant? I like the guy, he's never afraid to ask fighters what the people are thinking and he adds entertainment even when the fights are dire.

He is actually dead now according to HBOs legendary nights.

To turn the coin again;
I remember seeing Fenech and I think it was Villasana or somethig stopped in the ring between rounds and hung over the ropes stareing up into Festival hall in Melbourne to watch a fight up in the crowd.
They were fight fans too .

Soliman and Mundines first fight the fans threw bottles and shit at Mundines camp as they left the ring,those arent fans of anything other than blood guts and ko's; no real fight fan would do that or boo anyone either.

Absolutely... As I have not seen them I can not rebut but I will say by what is sounds... irritating. I hate when ANY booing happens at a fight... It's not like other sports. Booing is just... unfan like in the boxing world IMHO. I have never booed at a fight and scream at those that do. It embarrasses me

[Andre]

You are a man after my own heart there Mr Pride.
I have yelled shut up ya fukker! at a booer, I hate that too.
Stand in a ring or get in the fighters face outside and boo then, see what happens to their lame ass then.

I applaud both fighters into the ring they all deserve it.

For me recently

Hatton fans booing the US national anthem, just shouldn't happen

First one that popped into my mind. I understand the crowd being disappointed that their man got whipped, but watchin a future HOF and one of if not the greatest MW of all time not being able to celebrate his first title in the ring and being pelted with various debrit is just disgraceful.

[killersheep]

This is not on par with the previous ones mentioned, but people booing Katsidis after the Diaz fight was just lame, especially after he said "Texas has a great champion and true warrior in Juan Diaz" he was being humble and respectful of course his trainer was being a douche, but this is just the way things are I guess.

[SweetPea]

I think Bowe-Golota I takes the cake in this one.

Their has been so many but Hatton vs mayweather the Booing from us british fans was unreal same as Manfredo vs Calzaghe as a country were a bit of a joke

Honestly, I think stuff like that is relatively mundane. It's not like they were throwing bottles at PBF as he came to the ring or anything.

I gotta agree with the Hatton vs Mayweather crowd as well. The Hatton fans were really annoying. Not only were they booing but I remember them playing instruments or music (how is that even legal).
