I'm sorry but I have to rant about this. I've copped a hell of a lot of abuse from posting that press conference video up on 'youtube'. I've had 3 Brits in a row comment things like 'You're a bit of a prick for supporting Mayweather when you're from over here'. Another comment said 'England, England, England..' and the other had some more shit about me being 'turncoat'. Then I got a private message from the guy who posted the 'England, England' comment saying 'I bet you're supporting Mayweather because you're black!! Well know that our boy from england is gonna knock him the fuck out!'

This really pissed me off..Firstly I'm not black and secondly what the fuck does that have to do with it when i'm a fan of the SPORT of boxing. I really do think Boxing is probably on the levels of or even more racist than football. Just go on any video on youtube where there is an inter-racial bout and you hear the foulest words of abuse hurled at each other via the comments. 'Blacks are the best at this that and the other' or 'Mexican knocked your faggot puerto rican ass out' or equally as bullshit comments.
This is why I usually back the underdogs when football is concerned because I hate the arrogance that some countries have towards it..they view it more of a racial superiority. I'd much rather see a country like Japan win the World Cup over England because you can see how much fun they are having when they are cheering for their players and that to me is true passion and pride in your country. Not acting like a hooligan, smashing things up..getting drunk, beating the shit out of each other and spouting racist remarks. How can ANYONE call that PRIDE in their country? They're letting the country down with their arrogance and ignorance.
Boxing, although i've never witnessed a riot or fighting within the crowd, seems to be getting just as bad. Boxing isn't even supposed to be about Country vs Country is it?? Mayweather vs Hatton isn't England vs America..Mosely vs Cotto isn't Black vs Puerto Rican is it?? Some people just like to make it that way. Fair enough, have pride in your country..everybody should but not to the point where you get ignorant and arrogant. Unfortunately, the more I read from Boxing fans the more it becomes clear that the sport of boxing is heading that way.
Enjoy the SPORT of Boxing..leave the bullshit out. Have pride in your country but respect for others.
Ok rant over, feel free to post your feelings.
