Khan v Malignaggi weigh in kicks off!!

[Althugz]

They behaved that way because they're Brits. Brits cannot go abroad without making complete pricks of themselves. The Hatton fans at the Hatton/Pacquiao weigh-in had their share of thugs who hurled racial abuse at Pac & Khan, as well as randomly abusing Shane Mosley. It's not a racial or religious thing, it's a national thing. 70% of Brits should be banned from having a passport that allows them to leave the country.

Also Khan shouldn't get the blame for his fans any more than Hatton, Pacquiao or Mayweather should for how their fans behave. It was clear the people who were actually with Khan were not encouraging it.

There you go - I was reading through this thread waiting for someone to actually make that important point and you made it.

Brits going abroad and disrespecting the place. Again, unfortunately it's a generalisation and I'm not talking about your average brit going abroad but something I see which is common place during certain trips abroad such as lads/girls holidays, boxing events and football events.

I see it too often - The Ricky Hatton/Mayweather fight, a couple of dudes standing behind us like fucking cowards while we're checking in to the MGM and making snyde comments to the woman behind the desk who was oriental. Comments like "Is your name ching chong china woman?" and stupid degrading shit like that. Then the boo'ing of the national anthem and then a fight kicks off in the crowd.

Same on lads holidays, taking the piss out of the locals language or just acting however they like in the streets throwing up and pissing..then they cry when the local Greeks beat the fuck out of them and they're "inhumane"

Then the Leeds fans go to Turkey and start wiping their ass with Turkish money and generally act rowdy in someone elses hometown -Then when someone gets stabbed, they start crying the Turks are "animals"

I can't help but feel if most Brits conducted themselves a little better at these kind of holidays or events, most of the problems would be avoided in the first place. I apologise in advance for generalising but this is just based on experiences of these type of holidays. I have met loads of nice Brits on "relaxing" holidays with the gf (usually people from out of London..much friendlier than the Londoners).

I agree. And I am very worried that they will be booing the Star Spangled Banner tonight.

Totally agree with all that. Personally I think that Britain would be a great country if you were just able to spontaneously wipe out about 80% of the inhabitants. There are some great people there, but by my reckoning they are fenced in as a small minority. That was my view from several years ago, by all accounts it has got worse.
