During the Juan Manuel Marquez vs. Jimrex Jaca pre-fight when they were respecting Willie Pep by doing a 10 count, some fans were howling and being noisy even after the announcer asked everyone for silence and to stand out of respect. Should those fans have been escorted out of the arena?

It seems that more and more people show disrespect nowadays. People seem to be getting ruder. What can be done about it?

Commish ~
I watched the fight and I heard all the noise going on in the background. The people who were making all of the noise were either Mexican Americans or Mexicans, maybe they did not understand who the great Willie Pep was or his significance, but hey this is America, show some class The announcer spoke both Spanish and English and even if they didn't know who Willie was they did understand "Moment of Silence" in their native tongue so after that moment they should have been ejected from the arena with absolutely no refund.

I have been around boxing almost my entire life and the fight fans that I have ran into across the country have been truly the best in the world, but there have been some instances when you have complete knuckleheads at fights, the Bowe vs Golota fight (I was there) and now these bums, at the show in Texas.

There are some truly great fight fans and apparently some real lousy ones. You're right on point Commish.

Out of respect? This is a 'sport' that has beating others into a pulp as its goal!!!
