My question was legitimate if British fans got into fights after one of their own lost in vegas to Mayweather and Pacquiao, then it's not too far fetched to think they would get into fights after one of their own lost to Wlad.

Speaking of which did they get into fights with the Germans after the loss? But you know what? In the end it's just sports, nothing really serious, unless you're British.
When was the last time you heard of Brits actually rioting after losing at a sports event? Not something you saw in a movie, actually saw a news article about it. It doesn't happen very often at all. Canadians was about what 3 weeks ago? But, apparently they hardly ever riot

I didn't even mention Americans rioting, I mentioned Argentinians & your lack of interest in whether they were assaulting tourist when their fighters lost, and believe me they take sport a lot more seriously there. See the recent reaction to River Plate's relegation.

Brits get into fights if they're drunk & as I said, I was at Hatton/Pac & both sets of fans had aggressive & racist elements among them. You are again ascribing the actions of Hatton's fans to British fans on here. Also for very obvious reasons, rabid British nationalists would not feel as irked by Haye's loss to Wlad as they would by Hatton's defeats to Mayweather & Pacquiao.

Your question was not legitmate anyway. You didn't ask if there were fights afterwards in Hamburg. You asked if British people went & beat up people based on their ethnicity on the street. Whichever way you choose to spin it, that's one step from being a trolling thread.
Hatton fans, especially the ones in Vegas were primarily of Brits travelling overseas to support him were they not? And I didn't ascribed Hatton fans to the ones on here. I just asked if there have been any attacks on them.

All I just know is this. Mayweather-Hatton fight, Brits got into fights with other people after the match. Mayweather-Pacquiao fight, Brits got into it with the Filipinos. And from what my friend described it was the Brits initiating the attack. Say what you want about the overzealous Filipino Pac fans on message boards, but in real life they at least don't attack people, nor yell racial slurs and then attack them. I also went to the EM-Pac 3 fight, with lots of Mexicans/latinos and Filipinos there, no problem at all between the 2 groups, more of an internet thing if there is conflict.

And the other thread about Wlad/Haye/HW champs, I was clearly taking the piss. I at least don't attack people over it on the streets that is nothing more than a sporting related event. You guys do. And I think that is scary as hell because in reality it' not that important.

About Americans rioting, I misread on that. Even if the Argentineans were violent rioters, does that excuse the Britons from attacking people after those boxing events? I think what I asked in this thread is a legit question, considering people were saying that it's just entertainment and shouldn't be taken seriously. And I agree. However, from what I witness in '07 and my friend attending the '09 fight, it wasn't for a group of people.
