    It is nonsense. Even with the GGG/Canelo fight you have anthems and not only the anthems but the US anthem too. So, we now have to have an anthem for the place where the robbery is about to be carried out? Why have an anthem for fighters anyway? As a fighter I would not be fighting for Queen and country either. What about my non-British supportes like Walrus? No anthems. You know how some fighters are awkward over nonsense like coming out first? Well, it is about time a fighter refused to bother with anthems before a fight. It is cheap nonsense designed to prey upon primitive feelings. When I hear the British anthem I think of Tories, food bands and hedge funders. I won't celebrate that. Good on rich people deciding that they have a conscience after all.

    @ghandi how is the South Korean anthem? Do they thank America in it.

    I wouldn't know. I have little time for anthems unless they are sung by an Indie Rock God.

    Miles wants it both ways Gandalf I agree that everything should be complete freedom and I have always advocated going back to the Stone Age when you could do anything you want and there were no municipalities or laws at all. Total Anarchy and stone age is what I would pick above all other forms where Only the Strong Survive or the smart or the strong and smart combination. But Gandalf wants to have his cake and eat it too. And that is something you cannot do. if you are living in a sovereign country the system itself is the one that is providing you with your jobs and your security so therefore you must have respect for the anthem and the flag of that country. You cannot reap the benefits of that country and its system and its protection while at the same time disrespecting or not honoring its flag or Anthem. @Gandalf likes to compare apples to oranges and now we also see he likes to have his cake and try to eat it too.
