Which Irish fighters are you talkin about?
Sorry, I mean Irish or irish descent. I don't mean just boxing either, i.e Million Dollar Baby, Boston Celtics, as well as 'Irish' Mickey Ward or recently John Duddy, exciting fighters in their own right, but pulling in the case of John Duddy, bigger crowds than American world champs! It's strange. Americans have a thing for the irish, 'fighting' irish.
The idea of this whole post is based on generalizations. I'm american and dont hate british fighters. None of my american friends hate british fighters. Americans may be less familiar with british fighters, but that is all.

As for the statement "Americans have a thing for the irish" umm...that's like me saying since you made a couple bad posts on this thread that "All british people make bad posts". See what I'm getting at? There is a large irish american community in NYC where duddy fights, go to southern california and not gonna find any duddy fans.
