Lennox Lewis fought for the greatest prize in boxing twice in a far bigger setting and only managed 6500. Calzaghe similar when he fought jones/Hopkins and lets not forgot the endless thousands upon thousands who headed out to see dear frank take on tyson twice.
I do understand what jaz is saying to a certain degree but he clearly has issues seperating raw passion and the odd 2-3 clowns he is refering too. No i wasnt at the weigh in but i think after at least 12hours air time, 36hours in and and around the strip im quite able to assess my own take on the fans that went over and as ive already mentioned you seemed to be in the small minority that didnt have a good time.
The support we give our sportsmen/women is second to none and a joy to behold. Just because a few bad eggs who`ve had one too many tizers decide to take it too far doesnt diminish the accomplishments of the large majority.
I was proud coming home from vegas. Not because of rickys performance or the fact that we outsung the fillipinos. But being able to see and hear those sort of emotions for a sport you love so dearly is something i`ll take to my grave with me!!
