I am not sure if I can emphasize this enough. UK fans are the most passionate fans I have been around. It is just amazing. When I went to the soccer game over in London, it was the most intense surroundings I have ever been around. It was not even close. I have been to big games on big stages but the soccer game took it.
Now, close to 20,000 UK fans made the trip to Vegas for the fight. Around 10,000 UK fans got tickets to fight and it sounded like they were 95% of the people there. They were chanting and singing the entire time. A few times you could barely hear the announcers. It was incredible. The only other fight I have heard fans like that was the Ali/Foreman fight in Africa.
Even when Hatton got knocked out and the fight was over, the fans would not stop! They were going absolutely crazy the entire time. It was hard not to root for Hatton. Mayweather may have put on a clinic in the ring but those fans put a clinic in cheering in the stands. We all should take notes.

I hate the University of Kentucky Wildcats. It was fun seeing the Hoosiers pound them on Saturday, no matter how passionate their fans are.
