The problem is that they're not real boxing fans, most of them have just jumped onto the wagon that set off from the Philippines and went crazy along the way.

It's understandable (though still very annoying), if you were from a country with little weight in the international sporting world (watch me get burned for telling it like it is) and even less in boxing and then one of your countrymen becomes a boxing phenomenon then I imagine that it's gonna be hard not to lose your mind and become hysterical/blinkered like these Pac minions are.

British/American/Mexican/European etc fans don't completely lose their minds this much over the likes of Kilitscho/Floyd/Hopkins/Calzaghe/Marquez etc because we're used to having people in the upper levels of the sport all the time anyway.

Once Pacman has hung up his gloves wait and see how many of these minions still follow the sport as legitimate, genuine boxing fans.

(before I get castrated for this I'd like to point out that I know the difference between:

a) a genuine pac fan
b) a genuine Filipino boxing fan
c) a Pac minion

It's the latter I take issue with and am talking about)
I think you typed out everything that makes sense. Not too many fighters from Asian countries are well known and this good and one guy comes along that hits the international stage so there are going to be bad fans. But those bad fans in my opinion are probably the most visible and loudest so there is a negative image being churned out right now. And you said it best that a large segment of his fans are so irritating that people just want to see him lose.


To get back on track I see quite a lot of boxing fans that really don't like Judah. Could be the guy's attitude and the potential that he never reached.
