What is the most disgraceful crowd behaviour ever in boxing?

[rjj tszyu]

With all the talk of a Holt-Torres III match there obviously comes the talk of the crowd behaviour in the first fight when beer cans and other things were thrown and so on. But what is the worst piece of crowd behaviour ever?

My vote would be for the British crowd when Hagler beat Minter for the MW title. It was a disgrace and its a shame us Brits never seem to learn!

Also one other that springs to mind is the parachuter (or whatever he was) in the Bowe-Holyfield II match. I know he wasn't exactly a member of the crowd but he certainly became involved lol.

Agreed... First thing that came to mind was Hagler/Minter... I was apauled!

I'd have to say, to turn the coin for a moment, the most awesome thing that I've seen was when the fan man got mauled by the crowd. That prick deserved that beating!

Wasn't Foreman involved in protecting Larry Merchant in the melee that ensued after the Maskaev/Rahman fight?

He is actually dead now according to HBOs legendary nights.

First one that popped into my mind. I understand the crowd being disappointed that their man got whipped, but watchin a future HOF and one of if not the greatest MW of all time not being able to celebrate his first title in the ring and being pelted with various debrit is just disgraceful.

This is not on par with the previous ones mentioned, but people booing Katsidis after the Diaz fight was just lame, especially after he said "Texas has a great champion and true warrior in Juan Diaz" he was being humble and respectful of course his trainer was being a douche, but this is just the way things are I guess.

I think Bowe-Golota I takes the cake in this one.

Their has been so many but Hatton vs mayweather the Booing from us british fans was unreal same as Manfredo vs Calzaghe as a country were a bit of a joke

That reaction completely ruined the moment for Hagler.

I'm going to add the very recent booing of the US National Anthem during the Mayweather vs Hatton fight.

Holt Torres one in Columbia. They were throwing stuff in the ring during the fight. The same thing happened during a big title fight in IIRC Mexico in the 1970s. I remember seeing Harry Carpenter showing it for a couple of minutes on Sportsnight, for all you old bastards out there that remember stone age pre-satellite TV sport.

[luvfightgame]

I can't remember which fight but once the crowd was cheering for Zab Judah.
It made me sick.



The only thing worse was Zab vs PBF. You're screwed either way. I found myself cheering for a double knockout.

Golota - Bowe riot was pretty bad.

Honestly, I think stuff like that is relatively mundane. It's not like they were throwing bottles at PBF as he came to the ring or anything.

I gotta agree with the Hatton vs Mayweather crowd as well. The Hatton fans were really annoying. Not only were they booing but I remember them playing instruments or music (how is that even legal).

No doubt about it.This was the absolute worst I have ever seen.The thing was it totally expanded beyond the ring and fight outcome and took on a savage growth into the stands.Just really pissed me off watching all of these pumped up insecure thugs rampaging on anyone and everyone within distance.
